The Logos object that I brought today is a poster of the 2009 TCU Football team, which highlights going undefeated and lists the scores of all of the twelve games played throughout the regular season. Because the poster is large, I used a picture of the same poster that I have on my room from this website: http://store.cstv.com/store_contents.cfm?store_id=422&dept_id=-164&product_id=162677&sportCatID=15.
Logos stresses arguments based on "facts, evidence, and reason." My example stresses facts and evidence. The fact that my poster claims is that not only is TCU the Mountain West Conference Champions for the 2009 football season, but it also states that they went 12-0 to secure a perfect season in regular season play. This establishes the legitimacy of TCU as a football program and a contender for higher recognitions in the realm of college football. To support this fact, the evidence of going 12-0 is shown through the list of all twelve opponents TCU faced and the subsequent score from each of those games. The reading stresses that "people today usually prefer arguments based on facts" when compared to other forms of logical arguments. The quickest way to grab someone's attention, in most cases, is to advertise facts that will stand out. Specifically for this poster, to the person who sees it who is unaware of TCU's success on the football field, this will enlighten them to their success and serve as persuasive enough evidence to back up the claim being made through the poster.
