Go Red Sox! Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 This is my latest rebrand of the MiLB Salt Lake Bees. "Bumble" is now a lot more aggressive and determined than before. Orange and red have been added to the traditional colors gold, black and white. Red remotely points towards the Bees' MLB affiliation, more precisely the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Cool gray serves as a mark color. Comments are welcome as usual, guys.

BBallSuperFan Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Wow. I'm loving this..... it looks so sharp, the font is terrific and love the SL cap mark. But I love the old school feel of Bumble now.... he does need a update, but more of a slight tweak than a whole new direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCutt Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I am a huge fan of this. While I do like the old logo, every bit of that looks incredible. I especially am a fan of the Honey B in the outline of Utah. Looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGM13 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Incredible. The only logo I'm not entirely sold on is the bee head in the red hexagon. It's seems too off-balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieRose Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 This is an extremely impressive rebrand! It shows that you made very thoughtful and deliberate decisions in creating this. I don't even have any criticism, great work! I'd love to see you make uniforms to go with these logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Wow...The colours, the presentation, the logos...all very well done!I love the alt "Bumble" logo.Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoHyphenE Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Very good overall, but the bee with bat logo is far too similar to the Single-A Midwest League Burlington Bees logo for my tastes. The othersbare fantastic, but that similarity immediately jumped out at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbannon92 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Wow, there's nothing about this I don't like. The color scheme, the font, each of the logos...it's all very well done. I do agree with two posters on their minor critiques, though.Incredible. The only logo I'm not entirely sold on is the bee head in the red hexagon. It's seems too off-balanced.Maybe if you moved it a smidgen to the right--so that the antenna is lined up with the edge of the hexagon--it would be better. Very good overall, but the bee with bat logo is far too similar to the Single-A Midwest League Burlington Bees logo for my tastes. The othersbare fantastic, but that similarity immediately jumped out at me.Looked the logo up, and I do agree. They're rendered differently and have different features, but the pose is identical. It may be different enough that it would be allowed, but it's close. Nevertheless, very great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Red Sox! Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Thanks for all your comments, guys.@JoHyphenE: I've read your comment and I also have to agree. My bad. I strictly want to avoid similarities to existing logos, but obviously I didn't research enough this time. I'm not really familiar with MiLB and its teams. After comparing the "stance" of my bee with theone of the Burlington Bees, I have to admit it actually looks like a slight ripoff in terms of the posture. The weird part is that I didn't even know the Burlington Bees or their current logo before, until you mentioned them. If I had, I would have strictly avoided that stereotype pose. I didn't want to create a bee with legs, standing there, readying for the pitch, like in the current logo. My first draft looked totally different because the bee's body was a lot more vertical than it is now. I didn't like that because it didn't really fit to the honeycomb or the font in the back and therefore I bended the bee's tail part to make it more compact and less vertical. Unfortunately, the bee's pose is now very similar to the aforementioned logo. It's actually annoying me a lot right now. Well, don't cry over spilled milk.

Spartan24898 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 These are amazing! Well done. The only issue I have is that with the team initials, I can't help but see the St. Louis Cardinals cap logo, which the Angels might not like to see.

There's just no other way to interlock the letters "S" and "L" differently, like in the famous Cardinals cap logo, without making the whole thing look forced or awkward. Unfortunately both cities have the same initials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 This is an amazing update, I'm just not sure if I'd like to see it replace their classic identity. Does everything have to be sleek, mean-looking, and have three different accent colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you provoke bees in real life, they might sting you quicker than expected. That was one of my initial thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidmiller5 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Great job. The only thing I don't like is the overhead bee in the roundel. It looks like clip-art bee. The rest of your logos are much stronger; you already have good alternate logos, so I'd drop that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
