Logo needed for Toronto Smokies 1880 style

TraderBlue · 02-19-2010, 08:44 PM

Hey folks, relocating an 1880s online team to Toronto and renaming it the Toronto Smokies, in honour of Toronto often being called 'The Big Smoke'.

If someone could incorporate a logo with a smoke-stack or factory kinda feel, i'd be much obliged.

Thanks

How's this?

I'm not too thrilled with the picture or the color of Smokies too much... let me know what you think.

New one (I like this one better):

I think it's a little too modern looking. It's an 1880s league, so I'd prefer not a shot of the CN Tower and I'd like an old-school font. I'm going for a level of authenticity.

Took a real quick shot at this...since there is no "authentic" 1880s logo...since teams didn't have logos other than maybe a script letter...

Let me know how you like it.

Thanks tombair. You're right, there were no logos, but I think you've captured an authentic feel.

Much appreciated.

That one is very nice Tombair... way more applicable to what was asked.
