In general I don't like the Marvel designs... they are too fancy and sometimes weird.

Asheville is fine... not too, too fancy... modern, but traditional still.
Buffalo Bison... fine... not overdone which is what the Marvel series usually does... still in the traditional logo style.
Northwest Arkansas... really bad... poorly designed... the old one was much better and gave you a sense of the Ozarks and clean, fresh air and the out of doors.
Salt Lake Bees... too modern... Bee is too scary and has a weird alien look... but I like the SL if they use it.
Somerset Patriots... modern, but nice... prefer the old logo... I like simple logos.
Sugar Land Space Cowboys... good nickname, but poor logo design... should have used a cowboy on a bucking rocket ship.
Lansing Lugnuts... this is nice... no problem with it... modern, but still traditional.

In general I prefer traditional logos... not modernized too much... also like traditional names... in my opinion too many teams are creating poor nicknames now... New Orleans Baby Cakes... Rocket City Trash Pandas... Montgomery Biscuits... I understand they are try to increase merchandise sales...minor league baseball is not about competition anymore... it's all about developing the players and selling caps and jerseys... and creating entertainment for the young fans, who go to game to be entertain and eats hot dogs, not to watch the game.

The Savannah Bananas are ridiculous... EC will never go to one of their games... sorry, I'm tired of seeing people spin around with a bat and get dizzy and fall down.. and watching mascots race around the field... tired of loud music and songs for batters... just play baseball... I am old fogey... a baseball dinosaur... I go to watch a game... I keep score at the game... watch every pitch... most people don't pay much attention to the game... it's all about the food and the theatrics... and the game outcome is meaningless to the major league teams... all they care about is the player development... developing a winning team is not a factor... however, some MLB teams are beginning to realize that it is good to keep the players together throughout their minor-league careers and try to win games and pennant in the minors... this instills a winning tradition that could carry over to the MLB parent teams... Atlanta does it... so does Kansas City and they won World Series in recent years.
