Darth Brooks Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I was doing something else and ran into a page with the Pirates logos though the years. I saw that when they did the retro thing in 1987 they used a fairly weak drawing from the 20's instead of the nasty looking fellow from 1934. So this is the 1934 head, the 1987 square and the modern wordmark. I thought it looked cook and wanted to share. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_DietDrPepper_ Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 It looks a tad bit to detailed and the gradient could use some work, maybe even removing it good make it a lot less clustered Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the one from 1958 is the most "welcoming," or "kid-friendly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Brooks Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Here it is without gradients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I like it, but something about the cream/tan colored diamond seems out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Brooks Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 The color came from the 1987 diamond logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Maybe the problem isn't the cream but that the pirate is too colorful. Try making the pirate's color scheme closer to the 1987 version (black coat, red shawl, black hat, etc.) and maybe make the "Pirates" wordmark solid yellow with a black outline.

_DietDrPepper_ Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Try removing some of the detail from the face of the pirate Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Brooks Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Those two suggestions would turn it into the 1987 logo that I thought looked washed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
