Shachihoko Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 That logo is a joke, especially the whole "V" look forcefully place on it, just trying to be like the Golden Knights. Meet your newest member of the Kamen Masked Rider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Can we just be glad that Brandiose didn't design this...otherwise, we'd've wound up with the "One-Armed Bandits" with an anthropomorphic slot machine swinging its own arm or something like that...

schlim Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The navy on navy application may be the worst use of negative space in a logo ever. The top of the helmet disappears and makes the visor hard to recognize, and the mouth-mask takes on the Elvis Patriots logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Underwhelming. I didn't even know it was a face at first glance. That alone makes it a terrible logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 This cap is pretty good, though. They’re having a bit of the same problem that the Chargers did when they tried to introduce an italicized logo - the two strokes of the V, heading in different directions, disrupt the flow. But it’s still a good-looking cap. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary, this is the one time in recent memory that I would have welcomed Brandiose being handed the creative reins on a minor league ballclub's rebranding. I imagine that their identity package for the Vegas Hammerin' Hermits would have featured a primary logo depicting an aged, disheveled, emaciated, and bare-assed naked Howard Hughes swinging a rolled-up will like a baseball bat. Granted, the extended suite of logos featuring secondary mascots comprised of an anthropomorphized facial tissue, pint of banana nut ice cream, and bottle of codeine might have been tougher to pull off successfully, but I'd have been interested in seeing Jason and Casey take a shot at it.

hendocfc Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The logo looks more like those generic logos you find in WordPress template previews than one of a sports team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimball Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 A few takes ... The Aviator head is a HUGE downgrade to the alien logo. Especially considering it was a top MiLB seller. Heck, I have one. It’s one of my favorite caps. The LV cap is nice. I’d buy one. But, not the aviator hat. Woof. I love the color scheme, sure it’s a bit Astros inspired, but outside of the Vegas Strip that is Southern Nevada - red rocks and desert. Which I love. I don’t blame them for going with a non-Vegas Strip inspired name. Though the Vegas Flamingos would have been cool. In a way, I wish there were some elements of this look that were a bit cartoony? Or at least playful. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific." Lily Tomlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerws Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 That V should have been put on the visor/ hard surface. Once it gets to the lenses it's a mess. A miss here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Lankford Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It bothers me how high the glasses seem to be sitting on the bridge of this guy's nose. If you took the helmet off and tried to draw this guy's head, he'd look like Hector Hammond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebuy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 It's a fairly serious downgrade from the 51's which was an identity that was above average but still had enormous untapped potential. As someone mentioned earlier, something cartoonish would have worked well here. It's Las Vegas, the brand is supposed to be fun and playful. I would have liked a bi-plane with a cartoonish pilot and LV marked somewhere on the logo. The colors are intriguing and pleasing, it doesn't scream Vegas to me and definitely an interesting choice for an Oakland affiliate since this is basically the Astros color scheme.
