Patchez Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm sure a final design has been approved for the Twins' Inaugural logo for next year's move outdoors, but here's one I came up with.Following the guidelines that sponsors are not allowed on uniforms, I put in a graphical tagline of "home sweet home"Comments welcomed.

nmsuaggie Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Inaugural Sweet?What's an inaugural sweet?I think he was using the home plate for "home sweet home." Inaugural is separated by the TC logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesi427 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 AWESOME!home plate (home) SWEET home plate (home)...hence the graphical representation.How did you make the patch look like a patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJworks Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Wow that's really cool. The only thing is that it looks like it says Inaugural Sweet. I see Home sweet home though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Inaugural-season logos almost always (the Mets being a big exception) have some kind of trademark of the stadium in them. Here's some examples. Maybe try adding something unique from Target field in your logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchez Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 If all one sees is Inaugural Sweet, then that's what you see! Some may see twin plates! Why can't an Inaugural (season in new ballpark) be Sweet? Besides, if you read it as a page, it reads "Inaugural 20 TC 10 Sweet" anyway! It's not a page.How did you make the patch look like a patch?I used Adobe Illustrator -> Corel DraWings -> Adobe Photoshop is create the patch image."Inaugural-season logos almost always (the Mets being a big exception) have some kind of trademark of the stadium in them."Very true. As you said, "almost always". And I believe the Mets logo IS a variation of the ballpark's logo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasatch Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I used Adobe Illustrator -> Corel DraWings -> Adobe Photoshop is create the patch image.I see your signature is sporting some patches as well. Do you have a template for this or could you please possibly explain how you created the patch effort with those three programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchez Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 I used Adobe Illustrator -> Corel DraWings -> Adobe Photoshop is create the patch image.I see your signature is sporting some patches as well. Do you have a template for this or could you please possibly explain how you created the patch effort with those three programs? I created the design in Illustrator CS4, saving it as an Illustrator 3 file. Then I open this in Corel Draw and export it as a Corel exchange file.Opening this file in Corel DraWings, you need to "digitize" for embroidery. I can then produce a file for actual embroidery, but I just export it as a bitmapped .png file. Opening this up in Photoshop, I just do some minor tweaks.I did this for all the helmet patches in my Signature as well.I did find somewhere on this Forum that someone posted instructions on how to fake an embroidered look using only Photoshop. I believe it was a post for a baseball cap template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undead Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 This is GREAT! The twin home plates fits perfectly with this team. The only problem with the patch is it doesn't look enough like a restaurant logo, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchez Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Being a collector of sports logo embroidered patches, I am NOT a fan of those ballpark/stadium logos that are slight variations of their "Inaugural" logos.I like a bigger variety of designs so a bigger variety of patches may become available for my collection!

Firefly Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 The angle of the bases threw me for a second. Perhaps you could set them straight to make the pun head-slappingly obvious. Otherwise it looks pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When and if I do find the topic, I'll post the link in here just in case anyone is just as curious as I am. Thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackerBadger Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I think a more accurate logo would be a logo that looked something like:GAME CALLEDDUE TO RAINThat would be the Memorial Day-to-Labor Day logo.
