CJ, it would be my pleasure to give it a shot, but I just want to make sure that I get it right. Did you want the panel sequence to be white and then a large orange bottom or for the logo to be white/orange/blue?

The problem is the proliferation of stickies. I wonder if it is time that we separate the logo and photo postings into separate sub forums. I can't see getting rid of the current stickies but things like this thread should be stickied also and there just isn't enough real estate.

What do you all think?

Oops - photo and logo forums are all ready separate. Ignore the man behind the curtain.

Anyway, is there a further breakdown none the less that would make sense and allow for more good stuff to be stickied without choking out the rest of the forum?

CONN CHRIS · 11-01-2012, 07:59 PM

Looking at it again, the stickies really don't look too bad in this forum. (I am batting 1.000 here).

Shall we re-name this and sticky it?

If yes, decide on an appropriate title and I'll be happy to do that.

I'm all for it!

Love the Athletics classic blue and white. But, if you did a few variations in the yellow and blue trim that would be welcomed as well. Perhaps you could mix in one or 2 of the green and yellow as well so teams could move forward into the future and reach for those when needed. I'd say the same thing about the Pirates, as well, with their classic red white and blue and then black and gold later. However, I know these take time so whatever you come up with will be appreciated and make for a fantastic collection.

It deserves repeating that any of the wonderful logos posted here, while having a classic feel, could easily be used in a modern league, as well.

I think the title change is a great idea and it is much appreciated, Chris. I have to admit a part of me will miss seeing Wasps in the title. Thanks to Steve Sax for the original inspiration with his league.

I think the name change is far more fair to you and tex, it'll show that there's far more than one request in this thread!

knuckler · 11-01-2012, 10:45 PM

Not sure if this is what CJ had in mind, but here's a stab at it. If this isn't quite what you had in mind, please just let me know.

I have a name suggestion: how about "The Greatest Logo and Uni Thread Ever"

These are beautiful! I have hesitated to make any specific request in this thread but I can't resist. I have an All-Georgia league and I have struggled with the logo and uniform for the Newnan Tigers. Dear knuckler, may I have this exact logo with NEWNAN instead of DETROIT, and with purple instead of the dark blue, and with a suitable N instead of D, please? A jersey and cap in this thread style would be fantastic too, if knuckler or txranger wants to do a set.

Just a few ideas that rolled tumbleweed style through my mind.

dward1 · 11-02-2012, 06:22 PM

realized this is probably the wrong thread for this kind of request and moved it

Jabez54 · 11-02-2012, 06:32 PM

While there are so many requests (LOVE those team names) for the K/T Express to create logos from - with great glee

, I'm hoping the concentration would be on the MLB Retros for the moment

... believe me, mates, I would love to see the finishing touch these mates can do with the requests ... just like to see the collection done, so I can selfishly uses them into the MLB Association

... but hey, if they can do it all simultaneously - let it roll ...

I too would like to finish up the MLB retros completed first before moving on...

It will be my pleasure to get to this logo. As for the name change, I like what PW suggested with the classic graphics suggestion.

I'm a little wary of taking on a big request right now as the MLB project is probably going to take up the bulk of my logo-making time and I owe a few other logos to people in this Thea's and forum. If you are not in too much of a rush on them, I will do my best to get to the international teams.

I worked on another MLB team today and should be able to post tonight or tomorrow. DreamTeams, thanks for the feedback on the Athletics.

You have outdone yourself with these! This is an amazing set.

You might find a use for these two. I've been toying around with them for a little while trying to make a Florida Keys and Twin Cities logo with a retro look. Maybe you can do something with them. I forgot where they cam from.
