It's a script font, it's based off of handwriting and not suppose to be perfect. As far as the Oilers "issue", I love it and think it looks great. That Mets script is gonna drive me nuts now. Not cool man. The Oilers thing is pretty cool though. Drives home the oil dripping concept in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the logo: The "can't unsee" part is how the letters kind of droop at the bottom - there's no even white circle between them and the blue border, it gets squeezed narrower and narrower as you get to the bottom. It's almost as though the letters are melting and bleeding into the white. Ugh. "The asymmetrical circle represents that Earth is not a perfect sphere, but rather an oblate spheroid. And the lettering gets squeezed and compressed towards the bottom, indicative of how oil is compressed and harder to extract the closer it gets to Earth's center."

Or something. "The M is moving in a different direction from the other letters, just like New York is full of many diverse people going in all sorts of directions. And yet it shares the same colors as the other letters, blue and orange, the colors of New York City. The script shows that while there are might be differences, we're all New Yorkers." Or something.

Not to be that guy, but I'm pretty sure a circle can't be asymmetrical. *DUCKS* As for the Oilers logo, I honestly have no problem with the wordmark being non-concentric with the blue outline. I'm not sure if the difference was intentional or not, but it doesn't bother me.

shaydre1019 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 That bottom part of the M doesn't bother me as much as the inner stroke on the middle corners of the M, on the logo version of the script. It's rounded instead of sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rounded instead of sharp. I don't think it's actually supposed to be that way; I think it's another mistake carried over into sloppy MLB master Illustrator files. It looks to me like they just might have traced that wordmark from a patch, where the embroidery rounded off those points, creating those rounded points in the official file. Again, once you've seen it you can't unsee it. Uni Watch made this graphic to show the first two versions of the logo from the team's earliest days, and the interior corners are sharp in both. At some point this was changed, possibly in the 90s when the Illustrator files were created. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
