Blackjack76 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Keep your eyes peeled for this. I hope it looks as good as Chico, Long Beach and Yuma unveiled thus far.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Yeah... I'm going to drive down to the unveiling. It's at 4:00 PM PST at the Santa Fe Depot in Fullerton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Speaking of which...Given that the unveiling is taking place at the Santa Fe Depot, as well as the fact that the city was founded and sited to take advantage of a proposed right of way for a subsidiary of the Santa Fe Railroad (and named after railroad official George Fullerton), I'm thinking that they're going with a railroad-themed identity package. Rumored names are said to be Falcons, Flyers and Fury. Flyers could fit with a railroad theme, as you often hear about historic trains that were nicknamed the "(fill-in-the-blank) Flyer".

Blackjack76 Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Excellent choice. And seeing as Long Beach is the Armada, plural noun nicknames are not required.Other possibilities:TiburonsSpikes (rail-theme)LocomotionSteamBoilermakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack76 Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 It's the Fullerton Flyers. Logo to come.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I went to the unveiling. The logo features a train. Pretty sharp looking. I've got a photo on my digital camera that I'll try and get uploaded today. I've also got a request in to team officials for a copy to be e-mailed to me.

Blackjack76 Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 Brian, what did the caps look like? Are they like the old Osh-Kosh engineer hats, because if so...THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I like it, but the perspective bothers me. I can't tell if it's supposed to be slightly coming at me, or a profile view. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 It's really hard to make out the 'r' and the 's', but I like the baseball-themed steam I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 It's giving me a headache, because the train looks like it is moving towards me, while the lettering is totally flat.

See Red Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I like it. I like the colors, and I think the baseballs in the steam are very cool. I agree with AAO, this league has some nice looking logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal-State Fullerton + UT-Chattanooga = this. Great logo I must say; the front even resembles an elephant/titan, at least to me. Does the League have any sketches of merchandise out at least?

paynomind Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 the tilt perscpective is doubled up.. like it was a logo with a good 3/4 view of the train, with lettering, then they put that logo in perspective. Odd.Also, is there anything less likely to take flight than a train? Thats a wierd name-logo combo. NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!

Brian in Boston Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Also, is there anything less likely to take flight than a train? Thats a wierd name-logo combo. Actually, nicknaming a train the "(insert geographic reference here) Flyer" was fairly common during the age of steam locomotives. Examples were the "Dixie Flyer", "Heartland Flyer" and "Exposition Flyer".Dan Simon and Joe Bosack are doing an outstanding job generating logos for the GBL's member teams. Right now, I'd rank them...1) Long Beach Armada2) Fullerton Flyers3) Yuma Scorpions4) Chico OutlawsIt will be interesting to see what they come up with for the clubs in Mesa, San Diego and Surprise.

It does look a little like that train, but I cut ties with that logo when I found out the "clipart" I had used for inspiration back in the day used several elements of the NIFL's River Cities Locomotives. Lesson learned: use photographs of real items, not clipart, for inspiration, which I did for my later locomotive logo, the Pittsburgh Smoke (now the logo for the New York Express of the CFA).

pcgd Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I did a train logo for CityofWalrus that ended up looking alot like yours SyPhi. Once I saw yours, I hated myself. But, what else can you do with a train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
