EvilChameleon 179 Posted August 7, 2018 Love it. And even though I love our toothbrush lights, it became a bit cliche to use them in just about every logo we put out. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MJWalker45 3,794 Posted August 7, 2018 There's so much empty space in that logo. I want to like it but I can't. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pharos04 704 Posted August 7, 2018 I really like that "Cleveland" script. Could be something to incorporate in the future 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet we see that font used for the BP jerseys. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MJD7 2,244 Posted August 7, 2018 Overall, I'm not a big fan... While the baseball stitches making up the guitar is pretty clever, without a base color the logo overall looks empty to me. The main font (although good-looking) looks like they started with a template of this year's font. It also bugs me that "Cleveland" and "All-Star Game" are angled differently. As a side note, the "American" and "National" scripts remind me a lot of those used in Detroit in 2005. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MJD7 2,244 Posted August 7, 2018 Some of the designs in the background of the thumbnail look really compelling. Are these possibly some rejected proposals? Most of them even look better, I'd say: 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of them even look better, I'd say: I think some of them will be used for different purposes. The bottom right All Star Game logo would fit the sleeves much better than the primary does. I think the intent of the background is to mimic rock band flyers. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digby 3,359 Posted August 7, 2018 Rock'n'roll and baseball are really peas in a pod as rapidly dying forces of American pop culture. So the synergy works. Otherwise I'd agree that the lack of a base and the weird shape are pretty poor, and the shape is corny on top of all that. I like the league scripts though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BringBackTheVet 12,085 Posted August 7, 2018 It'd look better if they'd use proper case for All Star Game rather than all caps. Just doesn't seem "friendly" for what's supposed to be a fun exhibition. I'm not sure how I feel about a logo that doesn't have a firm base color. I get that a good logo doesn't have to, I just think it can limit the applications if it doesn't. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, it's a defunct WNBA team, but it's a defunct Cleveland WNBA team. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Griffinmarlins 1,002 Posted August 7, 2018 This might be my favorite all star logo since I've been alive. It's between that and 2011 in Arizona. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
