Brian in Boston Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Another outstanding effort by Dan Simon. Mighty Lex is the best mustachioed Legends mascot yet! I'm definitely going to be ordering some merchandise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 These two logos look like they were done by the same artist; the top one, as an experienced, top-of-the-industry branding and identity artist, and the bottom one, when he was 5 and just beginning to show signs of his future talents. 1 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, Brandiose is responsible for the bottom logo. Despite their reputation for designing goofy logos for MiLB teams, I thought the logos they did for the Legends 11 years ago were pretty good.

The simplest explainer on the difference in finished product between Studio Simon and Brandiose. Dan Simon has such a sophisticated touch with even the most playful brands. Rarely misses and illustrates the quality vs quantity debate. Now that business has seemingly slowed down for Brandiose (unless City Name/Alleged Regional Food fad somehow continues), I look forward to seeing how/if they can step up their game with a little more time for craft. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandiose possesses the potential and talent to step up their game. For many years, they focused on quantity over quality. And, as you mentioned, now that business has slowed, they should be able to demonstrate their true abilities. And, for what it's worth, I don't fully blame them for their reputation in the designer community. They were paid by their clients to create those absurd logos and brands. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGlowin Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The absurd logos and brands were made to sell merchandise, not look good. They know what they're doing. 7 Quote Last updated 5/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 For an example of Good Brandiose, I point to the Traverse City Pit Spitters, which is a magnificent package with a truly clever secondary logo that also looks fully thought through and professionally finished without reaching to justify itself. It's no Sky Carp or RubberDucks, is what I'm saying. 3 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

Spot on. They invented a market to sell more design work under the guise of more merch sales. Smart business move, but the quality couldn't keep up. On the positive side, I'm seeing a ton of new names of designers and studios popping up on some of these jobs. That's great news for the industry.

Dynasty Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Brandiose definitely has the potential to make a comeback. Their earlier works with brands like the El Paso Chihuahuas and Biloxi Shuckers were truly great. Unfortunately, the typical elements they've used (googly eyes, muscle flex, teeth grinning), along with the adjective names, got tiresome when shown with later brands like the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, Fort Myers Mighty Mussels and so on. Maybe they can capitalize on quality over quantity down the stretch. I think it would be good for them because they clearly have the talent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no Sky Carp or RubberDucks, is what I'm saying. I loved the Pit Spitters identity. Got to go to a few games when in Traverse City. My daughter liked the logo as well and has worn the shirt I got her since then. Goes with the Cherry industry of the area. The michigan/mitt logo is perfection. The colors/clean look of the uniform. And it doesn't feel forced as all. "Angry Cherries" or something goofy and over-the-top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One good way to judge a logo (or uniform/overall identity)--at least in my book--is how well you can theoretically extrapolate it back to a given time and design a logo that feels like a faithful update it; in other words, you create a logo that feels like it's been around for much longer than it actually has. This new Lexington Legends logo feels like it's been--in one form or another--around since the 1960s or 1970s, and the work shows in it. 3 Quote http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, their first design on the market was the Clearwater Threshers (they were still Plan B Branding at the time). An identity that still stands strong 20 years later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green27 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I am...whelmed. It's a good name but the logo is very busy with the dog, gloves, bat, and hat. Also so many colors I am unsure of what color to associate with them. I love the KO bell logo though, it should work on a hat wonderfully.
