patsox Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I don't mind the logo - it is different, unpredictable - but I do wish it didn't have the black box and rays over the top. That is what makes it cartoony. There's kind of an overkill of gold too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I wish they would incorporate a pirate in there somewhere, or a pirate ship. The Pittsburgh Pirates dont even have a pirate ship. Now if it was for a Super Bowl in Tampa Bay that would work. Didnt they get XLIII? Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnylived Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 PANTONE hit the nail on the head. Way too cartoony. Even the font is cartoony.Maybe it'll grow on me. maybe it will grow on me like a malignant tumor... yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyRock Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Since others have done their revision of the logo here's mine It's hard to call that a revision or new look of the primary when that's the uniform patch from MLB.com with the black background taken out and the stripes on the bats removed. You lose.

Puckguy14 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Mixed reactions on this. Kudos for a daring design and great to know they went with a unique look. (This ought to be fun making a media kit with next year.) But then again, you know how much stitchery there will be to make hats, patches, etc.? That's the down side. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightynine Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I like the alternate more than the primary.I can't link to it since I saw it in the gallery at MLB.com. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kess Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I dig this thing instantly. I looked up the designer's web site before the unveiling and really liked his work. I'm glad MLB let him use his style and it was a good choice to use something very similar (if not identical) to the Pirates' font on the logo. It's vibrant, it's eye-catching and it's different. I love it.And "gay pride" colors? Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 It's certainly different and that can be a good thing. To me it makes a statment that Pittsburgh isn't all about the black and gold and it also isn't the sooty, smoke belching city of which it is often portrayed and caricatured. The purple, orange and red kind of remind me of the effect that the diffused light of sunsets can have on landscapes, and seeing as how the game will start right about sunset in Pittsburgh, I think those are appropriate color choices.This is a nice logo, IMHO. I also thought this year's logo was different, distinguished and attractive. It's nice to see MLB doing some different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moser316 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I don't know why there's so much hate directed towards this logo. A lot of people here complain about logos becoming too formulaic, this is one that most certainly is not. It's about time somebody broke that mold and did something that had a little more creativity than simply regurgitating team colors or design elements of the home stadium (which this one does, but unlike the 2002 Milwaukee or 2003 White Sox All-Star Game logos).This is a great logo and the Pirates players should be proud to display it next season.

Pat Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Woah that is craptastic.Too complicated, too many flamboyant colours, the bats are what DET used.And it just looks childish, and really really lame.

barnesdesign Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 anyone notice that the box around the top of the skyline, along with the crossed bats, forms the shape of a home plate?
