slapshot Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I noticed this on the Spinners website:Don't remember seeing that "S-bat" logo before. Must be part of the modernization of the Spinners logo that had been mentioned by the team.I hope not, Lowell and Worcester are not that far awayI know they are different and two different twists, but the Worcester Tornadoes do a lot better job with it.Worcester had a great chance to have an extremely memorable name by going with "Twisters", but dropped the ball.

whchoclte Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Scrappers logo PDF: http://www.mvscrappers.com/uploads/documents/logos.pdf (in full vector glory and password unprotected!)Looks like the "use part of the face as a hat" trend is marching right along...After looking at all tehe logos Im ashamed at Plan B Branding from doing such a great job on the Threshers and others to put out this kind of sloppy unprofessional work.

Burmy Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 OK, we should be expecting the Avon name & logo any minute (I want the Woolies! I want the Woolies!)Also, sometime later, expect the new Winston-Salem name & logo to come out (Dash would be cool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 OK, we should be expecting the Avon name & logo any minute (I want the Woolies! I want the Woolies!)Barring a surprise, don't get your hopes up about the Woollies. Avon Baseball L.L.C. has had Lake Erie Crushers registered with the USPTO since November 19, 2008. It could be a smokescreen, but I'm thinking that it is the actual choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 While I like the reference to an old nickname for Winston-Salem, "The Dash", I find the "element of speed in the game of baseball" justification a bit heavy-handed. I was also fearing that with such a justification linked to the name that we'd be subjected to a logo that primarily consisted of an italicized wordmark with some trailing speed lines and clouds of dust meant to imply "dash"-ing. Bingo! As an added bonus, we get an anthropomorphic baseball gritting its "teeth" and furrowing its stitched "eyebrow".Meh. I'm singularly unimpressed. While he name is tied to the city, I think it backs you into a corner graphically, resulting in what I consider to be a rather pedestrian logo. I was no huge fan of the Winston-Salem Warthogs identity, but I find this to be a downgrade.Grade: D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadatlanta4 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 As a lifetime resident of Winston-Salem(although Im in college at App State currently) and knowing the tradition and history of Winston-Salem Baseball, I had high hopes for this rebranding. This logo is a joke. Purple and red, seriously? They could have done so much betterBTW other finalist names were Aviators(Aviation History and Peidmont Airlines), Racers(Stock Car History), and Rhinos(???????). I dont think Ive seen those posted on here before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burmy Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Think of the "Winston-Salem Dash" as kinda like the "Philadelphia Phillies" - an homage to a common city nickname! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning River Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Here is the logo set for Lake Erie Crushers. It is very generic logo. No juicy grapes at all! I think the alternate is a "C". Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
