brew crew concept

any c+c is ok in my book

not feeling it

uhhhhhhh... i'm not crazy about the colors. maybe a little darker blue. or maybe just go with their current colors, ball in glove logo, and keep the wordmark cause i like and see what u got from their.

[sekuloguy]

you know what i think it is though. the template kinda kills everything. just like the shape of it. I would like to see on the template that UnWind23 uses.

Well I like it...

However, there is a large and vocal group who would rather see the so-called "ball-in-glove" logo disposed of like baby wipes. But I see this logo as genius, so I have to like it. However, I'm not sure about making the M and B stand out by coloring them differently. The powder blue (or whatever you choose to call it) is pretty good, but I could live without the brown.

Other than that, this is pretty solid work. Now let the barrage of "DEATH TO THE BALL-IN-GLOVE" cries begin.

(Take cover, man. )

I love you saved it as a .swf file. Zooming in and seeing all the detail is great. I wish I knew how to work in flash.

Anyway, the concept itself looks good, but I like the Brewers' current set more.

it has the glove logo

meaning its an automatic failure

Damnit Shark, you beat me to it! That's what I get for sleeping in on my day off...

If we can get passed the ball-in-glove logo, I like the wordmarks a great deal. I'm not a fan of the brown, but I like the blue. It's a classy yet simple look, and the Brew Crew needs classy and simple (and I even like that template, anyone know where I can find it?????). The numbers work very well with the wordmarks. The only thing I don't like is the fact that the "m" and the "b" are different colors and the "b" isn't outlined like the "m."

BTW, It's great to see someone else use flash.

I dislike the glove logo as much as the next person. But I really like the coloring to make it more obvious. Brings a more "Expos" feel to it. So I don't give it an automatic failure. My big gripe about it is the font style. I don't like how it fades on the right. Just make it simply across and it would be alot better. I like the current referencing to brewing that they currently have. But if they would go back for some sort of nostalgic reason or other. I would like to see them in these. Excellent idea.

I love the colors and this is a great concept!! Could you post a more crisp version, so the details are better?

This is where I beg to differ.

I fully agree that the ball & glove is unique and extremely creative. I salute it on its merits. But I don't think it is the best way to go for a Brewers concept. While I don't think the Brewers' current look is the ultimate look, I do think it ties the team nickname - and indirectly, the city's history - far better than the ball & glove ever could. And it is for that reason that I would just as soon not see the ball & glove return. I'd rather have something that refers better to beer, brewing, or the people who do it, who are the inspiration for the nickname.

These are... OK. Changing up the ball and glove makes it look worse, paradoxically. When it's one color, it's more subtle, and you can see the logo both ways (as letters, or as the ball & glove). This robs it of subtlety. The rest of the concept, to me, is... OK. OK numbers, OK font. Well executed nonetheless, but it doesn't make me think that this is what they should be wearing all along.

That's all very true.

I have no problem with the current set, either. The cursive script is downright lovely, really, and I appreciate the nod towards the agricultural roots of the area and its main industry with the barley head below the "M". Still, I understand that the MB logo has nothing to do with brewing beer, and your reasoning holds a hell of a lot more water than that "Death to the ball-in-glove logo!" nonsense.
