I get while you think it’s offensive, but that’s not intentional. It’s more that if you hold your hand on the words and you see only the circle logo you get different ideas of what this brand might be. Pretty sure a lot of people would answer “tyre company” or “gear manufacturer” or something. So it does not communicate well. About the banner nitpick, banners needed to be seen from afar, during chaotic scenes, so were often quite easy to distinguish from afar :)

I challenge this assertion. For one, I bet most folks have no clue what standard tire branding looks like. Indeed, https://www.carlogos.org/tire-brands/ https://www.carlogos.org/tire-brands/ shows that most of them do /not/ have circles on them. For bagels, I think you have a slightly better argument, but even then, https://99designs.com/inspiration/logos/bagel https://99designs.com/inspiration/logos/bagel doesn't really look like what is on display here. My nitpick on the banners was more that the iconography of them was not at all key in folks building an identity with them. I should have expanded and said it wasn't the banner that builds the identity. Rather, it is more likely the shared identity that builds the love of the banner.
