meetthemets Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Looks like they were going for the 80's beach/tourist look (see below). Plain wordmarks, ugly colors, overall fail. Only thing that is decent about it is the actual Marlin icon but it's overshadowed by the suckiness of the rest of it. Gets lost in the shuffle. Hopefully they use it by itself sometime down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meetthemets Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 http://tess2.uspto.g...4007:sv1rv.5.58Found a ton of Miami Marlins marks (most abandoned) but this one is owned by the Florida Marlins and is for the purpose of "...conducting an array of athletic events..."It's from April 2010, so I doubt this is the new mark, but probably someone more familiar with TESS and how to search can get to hunting for something.It's saying not available. Did you save the pic?No, but it was just a very basic serifed MIAMI MARLINS wordmark. Really nothing exciting.There were no serifs on the one I saw.

Insider info? Other?They will be released on the style guide website, the latest, September 15th. I've seen all of the changes for all teams along with the scheduled unveilings for all teams if any.

Really, it's win/win for me! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hm, Toronto has always been pretty progressive for better or worse. Not sure I want them looking plain. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiodrama Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hm, Toronto has always been pretty progressive for better or worse. Not sure I want them looking plain.They're not plain -- just traditional in terms of that franchise. Don't want to get into too much detail for obvious reasons, but it's a great look for them.

Hopefully they use it by itself sometime down the road. The colors alone in the image you posted are making me question their ideas behind this whole identity repackage process. In other words, they are bound to be the next big epic failure!Do they actually use BLUE this time?They are for the traditionalist.I'm not sure I like the sound of that. If by traditionalist you mean early 90s stick letters, then to me it's going to be a letdown. At least it appears that blue will be their main color again.

oldschoolvikings Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Man, I hate these "I've seen it and I'll drop annoying hints with cheesy emoticons" people. Tell us what it looks like, or, preferably, shut up. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
