joelederer Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I'm in a wood-bat adult baseball team in Vancouver and after 15 years as the Big Blue (ugh), we're looking to refresh our team name, logo, jerseys, etc. I came up with the unanymously-approved Maple Bats, a play on the maple wood baseball bats some of use use and the Canadian icon maple leaf. Now I'm not a graphic designer by any means, just mocked up some ideas in Photoshop. Wanted to get feedback on which logo concept works best (and see if anyone wanted to take their crack at improving it!) Thanks in advance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I like B because you see the bat and then you see the Maple leaf. But if you're looking for an even split, then C. A is too abstract and D wouldn't be able to physically fly I wouldn't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D looks like he's been hit with buckshot for getting in the attic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRC4 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 B is my favorite by far. The leaves seem more intrusive in the other ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Definitely B, A would be a far second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 B is the best merger between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsSlothy Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I like C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDLions Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I like C best then B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleylash Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 B is the cleanest of them, definitely. It incorporates the leaf into a place where it feels pretty natural and it looks good, so I'd definitely go with B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joke Insurance Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 B is best for both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddamnrock Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I like B. A looks deformed but I see the Maple Bat. I will say, t works as a silhouette. C and D automatically look like the bat got shot or ripped up. I like the use of negative space but the bat just doesn't look whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelederer Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Thank you for the feedback, everyone...the team was split between A and B. I think we'll go with a variation of B moving forward. Much appreciated, forum! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleclock Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 B is nice but I find an upside down maple leaf to be disrespectful. Just saying. Maybe I’m having memories of the 1992 World Series incident. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtgco Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 C is the best by a mile, IMO. B is second but it still feels a bit awkward going from curvy bat wings to jagged leaf as part of the same line. Clever team name! I think a dark brown and/or tan color scheme might work well here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchins75 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 C is my vote. The upside down leaf in B is not immediately apparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Of the ones you have, C is clearly the best, however, I still don't think you've nailed it yet. It feels like there's still one or two variations possible, out of the box. There's enough similar shapes in both the leaf and the bat that something that ties the two together is still out there, potentially.

Tyrano123 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 B would be first, A second for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krz Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 C for me, at least you can rule out D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYellowWolfMC Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 C is my favorite. I don't like A or D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
