Thoughts.

This is a Rookie-level league with one sub-league in Columbia and the other in Venezuela. I feel that the logo is missing something yet at the same time it feels crowded.

I can't put my finger on the problem. I'm looking for honest criticism from a second set of eyes. What's the problem here?

have you tried a light colour for the text?

Not sure about the font over the crossed bats. Also, the fonts used for the countries don't seem to fit, IMO. Maybe add an outline to those so it contrasts better with the background.

the font for the country is really busy for how small it is, but i'm still curious to see it in a light colour first

I would get rid of Columbia and Venezuela text and maybe the bats. Not sure about the bats though.

or maybe something like this...

Yeah the blue and red are fairly saturated so I would have to use almost white and white isn't in the cards for the theme of the league. A dark font is necessary.

I like that but what I was going for was a picture behind a glass frame or something. Maybe something like a clock. I wanted it to look like something hanging from the wall instead of something on paper.

I do like what you did there though.

Here's where I'm at now and I'm a little happier. Much better without the top and bottom font. I do like the crossed bats so those I'm going to keep. Anyway ehre's where it's at now:

Thoughts?

BTW...thanks for the honest feedback all. Much obliged.

Longer glare so the edges aren't so dark?

justafan · 03-02-2014, 06:57 PM

Looking much better.

Agree. Maybe keep it confined to just the center and leave the borders alone.

Honorable_Pawn · 03-02-2014, 07:07 PM

I'm not going to go with gold because that would not work for the theme of the league. But I see that the lighter color you used with the black background turned out all right. I may try a medium/light tone gray with a black border. Essentially vice versa what I first chose.

Thanks for the crittercisms.

I actually liked it with the country names, but the fonts were nigh on unreadable.
