The best european engineers running the pinnacle of motorsport dumped hundreds of millions into designing a safer car. After 2 years of hard work, crunching numbers and slaving over blueprints, these were the best solutions they could come up with.
A bunch of dumb, yank, hillbilly, colonials running a cheap, spec, support series for one track in Indiana sat around a BBQ with ribs and a 6 pack of light beer one summer afternoon.
How embarrassing.

F1 actually tired something like that, but in testing it "wasn't up to standard", or some B.S. like that.
Here's a crazy idea to fix the HALO: replace the big fat brace in the center with two thinner ones that are a bit off to the side.
EDIT:
When I say "fix the HALO", I'm referring to the whole "limits driver view problem". I obviously failed to address the point of this article (which suggested they color them to make identifying drivers easier). Whoops.

Still Ugly..
Hmmm...
The dark colored Halos are the best, because they are less noticeable on wide track/tv cameras.
Like the Ford le Mans cars
The funny thing is though, that the Shield Indycar is testing doesn't work. It only stops little debris hitting the drivers, and isn't good against large stuff like wheels and nose cones. Seeing as little bits only injure drivers, while large ones kill them, a Halo that stops the killing stuff getting through is the ideal option. The shield may look the best, but it's the worst out of all of them in terms of what it's supposed to do.The best european engineers running the pinnacle of motorsport dumped hundreds of millions into designing a safer car.

Finally, it's Ayrton Senna !!! All these years I'd wondered who it was
I have a simple solution: remove it
Car to environment and car to car accidents are also much better with the Halo. They are where the shield also struggles.

If people bother to understand why something happens, they won't complain or make themselves sound like idiots.
I'm so over complaints about the halo. Never really had any, to be honest. Fans should be more vocal about changes that make the racing more competitive. Who cares about the halo? We need less aero, a more level technical field, and tighter more competitive racing. But instead, the debate rages about a device meant to save lives. 
I've actually totally accepted the halo as a life saving device that is completely ugly and that it is here to stay. I also am allowed to prefer the screen without having an agenda. I think with proper testing and revisions based on the results of said testing that the screen could be as good as the halo against very large objects while still protecting from the small ones.
