TBGKon Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Appears to be brought to you by the people who gave you the C U B S road jersey.News stories I have read state that this may not exactly be the final logo. Due to the timeframe at hand and the approvals that have to be done for logos thru MILB, USPTO, etc. they were able to provide this as a defacto placeholder.

Brian in Boston Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Appears to be brought to you by the people who gave you the C U B S road jersey.News stories I have read state that this may not exactly be the final logo. Due to the timeframe at hand and the approvals that have to be done for logos thru MILB, USPTO, etc. they were able to provide this as a defacto placeholder.We'll see. For what it's worth, this is what the team's owner - Tim Berlin - reportedly had to say:Berlin also unveiled a new logo for the team that he described as the model that the team expects to use in the design of new uniforms, apparel and other South Bend Cubs branded items. "We're moving fast," added Berlin. "Officials gave South Bend a special waiver so that we could show you this today, but something as important as a logo needs to be approved by the league and by the Chicago Cubs. So, I can’t call it official yet, but it is what you’re likely to see on all our uniforms, apparel, advertising and merchandise from now on." There could well be some tweaks, but "from now on" gives the impression that the logo unveiled today is going to, at the very least, be incorporated into a more permanent mark.

twi Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Great logo. The visually interesting color scheme and realistic, non-anthropomorphized animal are great qualities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leggman01 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 as i suspected, it was Skye Design Studios that did this logo http://ballparkbiz.wordpress.com/2014/09/25/its-the-holly-springs-salamanders/i'm not buying the fact that the "name the team" contest truly produced the name, though...the contest just ended on september 12 - that's a REALLY quick turnaround for a logo, especially one this good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaha32 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 One thing I really like about this is the way the lettering and salamander itself all fit within the stitching on the ball, and it flows along the same general path as the stitching. So many minor league baseball logos have seams that clash with the other elements in the logo. This Salamanders logo has a very clean composition.

bigreid07 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The Nashville Sounds, the new Oakland A's Triple A Affiliate, is in the process of rebranding for our new stadium next year. They released a little today, which can be foudn at the below link.http://nashville.sounds.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20141009&content_id=98034748&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_t556&sid=t556We all expected a change, but this is a diametric shift. It's almost like they're proposing an old-west theme (really???) while trying to KIND of please Preds and Vols fans. It's not the worst ever, but I'm MEH on it.

SuperLeafsFan Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I like it. The look is sharp, but I'm not sold on the colour change. That's my one big issue here with this. Other than that, I'd have to see the rest to get a good feel for what they're going for. 1 Quote I think I like smilies too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Every time I see a quote like this: The Sounds are the first professional sports team to use Neon Orange in its color scheme. ...I think to myself - "I'll be the judge of that" (!). Once I get the Pantone values, I'll be able to verify that statement. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
