lich0037 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I checked the threads and couldn?t find this posted any where. If this has been posted already I apologize...I was at the Vikings game over the weekend and found these early Twins schedules on the concession counters. I was surprised to see them out like that. I checked with the Twins website and couldn?t find anything there. So I scanned the schedule to share with you all...it?s the best I could do.I am guessing this is the ?final season? logo on the front of the schedule. I?m sure this will be a patch on the jersey sleeve as well. I?ve heard through some of my graphic design buddies that local ad agency Periscope designed the logo. Although that is only a rumor. I also found the new Target Field ad on the back of the schedule to be interesting as well. Maybe it?s a sneak peak of the Target Field Inaugural Year logo?... The front of the schedule is on the right and the back of the schedule (when unfolded) is on the left.Thoughts?...

McCall Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Gotta say, I like both logos. The Metrodome is alot better than I was expecting. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebod39 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I'd like to know who designed them...nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Very nice, but if I had to guess, there will probably be some sort of remade version of the Target Field logo for the jersey patch when they move in with the whole lack of corporate name on the jersey thing. On a side note, does anyone else think building an outdoor only baseball stadium in Minny is a bad idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallWonk Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 On a side note, does anyone else think building an outdoor only baseball stadium in Minny is a bad idea?Well, yes, in theory. But then you attend a baseball game in the Metrodome, and the prospect of playing through an April snowstorm with a windchill below zero doesn't seem so bad by comparison. Besides, now that the earflap caps have made it onto the field in the World Series, the Twins will be just fine playing out-of-doors. That's a very nice HHH final-season logo, and it looks decidedly patch-like to me. I'm already out of sleeve room on my Twins jersey, though.

brandon11 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 i like the final season logo. Looks sharp. brandonjbrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJBerthiaume Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 On a side note, does anyone else think building an outdoor only baseball stadium in Minny is a bad idea?No way. The Twins need outside baseball sooooo bad. That Dome is a dump and also, they did try to get a retractible roof, but didn't have the money. That would be a perfect stadium.

Sguse1 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Emphasis on the TC...hmm sign of things to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Emphasis on the TC...hmm sign of things to come?A sign of what exactly? It's not like the TC is underplayed now, being the logo on the team's home hats and all. Can't get much more emphasis than that.I love both of these logos. That Humphrey Dome logo is really nice.

BBTV Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Metrodome logo = fantastic.Target logo = generic. Not bad, just too generic for my tastes. Frankly, that skyline could be anywhere, and that "rings of Saturn" cutout of the stadium could be almost any park.

lich0037 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Actually, Studio Simon did the Metrodome logo.I didn't think logos were Periscope's cup of tea. They must have put together the schedule then...thanks for clarifying that.

Viper Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I like the Metrodome patch. In fact it's way too good for the Metrodome. A crappy ballpark deserves a crappy commemorative patch. I wouldn't read too much into the Target Field logo though. In fact I've wondered the Twins aren't quietly planning another rebranding of the team, to coincide with the opening of the new ballpark. You may have noticed from renderings of the new park that the seats are green, an odd choice for a facility built for a team that wears red, white and blue. Unless of course they're not planning on sticking with that color scheme after 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMadSport Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Both logos are well done, though I imagine that the Target Field insignia is not so much the new stadium's logo than it is a tease for the stadium itself. I'm sure the actual logo will surface sometime in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course they're not planning on sticking with that color scheme after 2009.Green is a pretty traditional color for baseball-stadium seats (even though more and more teams are going to team-colored seats) so if they're trying to push the whole "traditional" angle, it's probably not anything to look to much in to.
