Go Red Sox! Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I decided to modernize the current Texas Rangers identity. I always thought they have a good set of logos, but, since they've rebranded in 2003, they also aged over time. Current Texas Rangers primary mark 1 – Primary logo: No more drop shadow on the "T" initial. Bolder lines and a slightly broader typeface. New baseball seams. The two stars are now separately placed on a white background. 2 – Secondary logo: A modernized version of the 1994-2002 alternate logo. The two shades of silver are no longer part of the Rangers color scheme. 3 – Alternate logo: A revised version of the current alternate Texas flag logo being used on the Rangers uniforms. The bevel on the lone star has been removed, as well as the color silver. “Never argue with an idiot!

SFGiants58 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 That's an excellent streamlining of the Rangers' logos. It looks cleaner without the bevels, and I also like that you kept plenty of white barriers between the red and royal blue. Well done!

Steelman Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 As a Rangers fan I dig this a lot. The northwestern stripe on the roundel gives the modern set a retro vibe which is pretty cool. I think my only quibble might be that the stroke on the T seems too thick for my taste, but man, I'm not even sure if it's just because I've seen the previous logo my tenure as a fan. Excellent work here. Fictional Baseball Series: Torland Star League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Could we see a version of the primary with red stitching on the baseball instead of blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 That really is an improvement. Part of it is my hatred of the drop shadow but I'm also a big fan of the way some of the color elements are spaced from each other.

The 1990's-like "T" drop shadow was my No.1 cause to revise the whole thing. But that silver bevel is so very outdated, moreover superfluous, it tremendously clutters those marks for no reason. 16 hours ago, Steelman said: As a Rangers fan I dig this a lot.

Yeah, I think it looks cleaner now, plus those white circles and lines make it look more interesting. 15 hours ago, coco1997 said: Could we see a version of the primary with red stitching on the baseball instead of blue?

MJD7 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 There's not much to say that hasn't been said already, this really is fantastic! I also love how well the blue and red are separated by the white. I would agree both in that I like the version with the red stitches better, and that some of the line strokes are maybe a little too thick, but that doesn't degrade the overall look much at all. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mth_05 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 This set looks great. Would love to see some uniform sets to see what you were thinking for that. I was working on a Rangers rebrand myself but don't think I can match this! Only complaint I have is that I dislike logos that have the ball of the sport in them but it actually works well here (agree that the red stitching looks better).

CS85 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I dig it! Only complaint is the little nub of navy blue on the flag is distracting, plus it's not quite finished (in my eyes). It's a departure from the rest of the design, also. You've got these wonderful flat logos, then you've got a billowing flag, but it's not exactly showing depth. Looks more like it's melting. It's 99% of the way there, however, so don't let my C&C get you down. Tremendous stuff. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Go Red Sox! Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Thanks a lot, guys! Much appreciated as always. Here is the wordmark uniform logo on three different backgrounds (white home, blue and red alternate uni). The font is less compressed and slightly bolder, so it suits the state of Texas a little better. Current uniform wordmark logo “Never argue with an idiot!
