and no idea why I didn't think to make you a SOX hat logo before, [pause for effect] smh

Delightful! Love the Hoppers logo you originally made this for and very much appreciate a SMH version. I think the 'Mountain Hares' variant is my favourite. The White Sox lettering will be my go to when letters are called for. Maybe for a cap like you say!

I got this idea from the guy who posted a Grimace Mets jersey. star is from Dallas' seal/flag, colors are from the Pride flag.

Yes! Great idea, Cosmopolitans it is! Just needs the date changing to 2058 but no rush on that (doubt you'll be able to see in game anyway!). I'm close to finishing my first 'blog' post about the league. So I'll start a thread on that soon. These look great as always. As a side note. I've now added the expansion teams and noticed that the Blossoms and Hotpots would be in the same division, so I'm saving the Hotpots for the next expansion and replacing them with the Ashgabat Akhal-Tekes in this one, if you fancy a challenge...

One of your best concepts yet! I'll gladly read about Turkmenistan

I can update that date.

What are you using for Toronto Grey Jays? Looking fo ideas for myself for Toronto, Baltimore, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Washington- replacing the rest of mlb in my league- and if you have any good concept ideas, the might help me

I keep thinking I'll figure out an Athens Philosophers idea, but I haven't yet, I want it to be something more interesting tha just a greek key pattern... give me another updated list

Well seeing as you asked! I'll put a list together of what teams could do with your magic touch tomorrow. I've also started learning to draw/use some design software. Am firmly at the 'useless' stage but maybe one day I can repay you by making a few logos for you too! I'll send you the Gray Jays thing I have when I'm at my laptop, it's an icon I found that I quite like, but it could do with being more logo like!

As a heads up to anyone interested, I've now posted my first 'blog' post about this league on the relevant part of the forum here: https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...79#post5117179

Thank you all for your continued help with logos - especially you 20_range, without you this league wouldn't be anywhere near as fun!

As requested, an updated list of the main teams that would benefit from some of your logo magic:

Addis Ababa Lions (established 2040)
Antananarivo Lemurs (established 2040)
Ashgabat Akhal-Tekes (established 2058)
Athens Philosophers (established 2058)
Bucharest Sounds (established 2040)
Cairo Pharaohs (established 2040)
Cape Town Penguins (established 2058)
Dar es Salaam Giraffes (established 2040)
Idaho Owls (I was thinking basically the Topeka Owls logo for this one) (established 2040)
Managua Motmots (established 2040)
Moscow Blizzard (established 2040)
Nashville Rockabillys (established 2040)

I'm not tied to any colours for any of them, but happy to suggest some if that helps!

I'll dig you out my Gray Jays logo, and have a think on some concepts for the teams you mention tomorrow!

[20_range]

Well I was thinking an owl for Athens, the Owl of Athena, which could double as the Washington [Neo]Classicals? Columns, serifs, idk Hadn't seen the Topeka Owls before, it all looks great

edit: here's the Topeka Owls Athens version one... the colors look wrong and the text is silly I'll chop at it when I have time this weekend

The Athens logo is a thing of simple beauty.

Very well done.

Agree with EC, that Athens logo is really sleek. So good. The owl of Athena is a great idea, one can never have too many owls in my view!

Thanks for the updated Cosmopolitans

I've added what I currently have for the Gray Jays below, but I don't think it's even a Jay, I just like the boldness of it! It's from flaticon.com (where I got a lot of logo placeholders from at the start of this league). I don't have any teams in Baltimore, Seattle or Pittsburgh lined up for expansions but will have a think on some concepts.

[20_range]

I agree I love this Owl, it's from the ebbets flannels version of the topka owls. I'm definitely going to Mae myself a version - Washington DC or maybe Austin?
Perhaps I will try and draw a similar Grey jay and also use it for Toronto. I also like it
I'll l isolate the head of the owl for a smal logo, didn't have time last night (child is back to going to sleep extremely late), and there are other things about it that can be improved- the font, darkening the blue, and what text should be on it?

I really like the blue, but interested to see it with a darker one also. For the text maybe 'Philosophers Baseball Club' across the top, and 'Athens' at the bottom as it is now? I just really like Athens there...

Yes, I've had my eye on their gorgeous Topeka Owls jersey for what feels like years now..., but alas, there's no way I'll ever be able to afford it! My son is also going to sleep later at the moment, I think it's the heat?

Look forward to seeing your Gray Jay, and will likely steal it for my Toronto team!

in Greek!

Too good 20_range, too good. Any chance of a big one in the same blue as the first small one? These are delightful - glad you thought of the owl idea for them!

text is google translate greek for Philosophers Baseball Club, Athens

I've been thinking I'll add a Seattle team in a future expansion (a long way off) but did some thinking as thought might help you with a concept. I like the idea of a monorail themed team and there seems to be a famous-ish one there. But then I'm unsure on the name, Seattle Monorail sounds quite boring...

There's also the technology company link, but again struggling with a strong name there. Even if I'm desperate to make some sort of Nintendo link. Seattle Sidescrollers?

Finally, I went down my usual 'city symbols' route and discovered the Great Blue Heron is the official city bird. I love a heron, so maybe the Seattle Blue Herons or just the Seattle Herons if you're into the whole brevity thing.

The city flower is apparently the dahlia, so Seattle Dahlias? Has a nice ring to it, but, again, not the most exciting name. I think I'm going to go with Herons, although I think side-scrollers with the right logo could be pretty great...

[20_range]

Those are all good. I've tried to draw a heron before, and will again. Flowers - more flowers is good. The Seattle Controllers?



Here is something for Ethiopia. As usual, I have used the national flag colors and art by Rockwell Kent.

[dinosauryoshi]

These are superb! Really bold, and feels like a different style to many of your other ones. I like the national flag colours theme as you know, and these go so well together. I've not put it in the game yet, but I can tell it's going to pop. Thank you

My fault - I need to be clearer what team was established when... - but these are an OG team, so established in 2040, if you can change the date if you're ever tinkering with it again then that would be great, but no worries if not, just happy to have such a lovely logo!

I'll update my list above with established dates to help in future!

Seattle Controllers sounds good, works on a few levels. I like the N64 controller idea too as that's the console I grew up playing (perhaps giving away my age), and still my favourite!

I don't know if it's still true because I'm still in OOTP22, but older versions of OOTP used the alternate spelling of Addis Abeba.
