I'd like some logos for the Keystone League

Big Six · 03-25-2006, 09:56 PM

I decided it would be fun to have logos for the teams in my fictional Keystone League.

The league has 12 teams in Pennsylvania cities. It's currently playing the 1965 season, so some retro-style logos would be perfect.

The teams and their nicknames are:
Bethlehem Steelers
Lancaster Red Roses
Lewisburg Profs (short for Professors)
Reading Coal Heavers
Williamsport Millionaires
York White Roses
Altoona Mountaineers
Gettysburg Cannons
Johnstown Johnnies
Oil City Oilers
State College Hillclimbers
Washington Generals

I'd like a logo for the league, too.

Thanks very much for your help. You'll see your work displayed on my Keystone League forum regularly!

See thread later on for revised Oilers logo.

Knuckler, these are great! They have exactly the kind of feel I'm looking for. If you're interested in doing more, please use any color schemes you'd like.

Thanks very much for helping me out. You'll get props in my thread for your contributions.

This is a work in progress, and I'm going to come up with a few color schemes for it, but what do you guys think?

knuckler · 03-26-2006, 03:51 AM

Another try. I like this one a little bit better, but I'm not sure the lettering stands out enough.

knuckler · 03-26-2006, 03:58 AM

one more take with this color setup...

Eugene Church · 03-26-2006, 04:18 AM

Very nicely done, knuckler.

knuckler · 03-26-2006, 04:21 AM

One more take, and then I'm going to try with a different color keystone. Comments and ideas always welcome.

Thanks EC!

Eugene Church · 03-26-2006, 04:26 AM

The last one is the best IMO...colors stand out the best.

Very well designed...like the state in the background...excellent ballplayer, too.

It is nice and simple and uncluttered.

Fine job.

Thanks EC. I haven't seen you around the forum as much lately, your comments are always very helpful.

Big Six, if you like one these for the league logo, I can try and work the established date onto it if you would like.

gbmoore121 · 03-26-2006, 02:51 PM

Great work Knuckler!

knuckler · 03-26-2006, 04:36 PM

Hope this isn't too busy for your tastes:

knuckler · 03-26-2006, 05:04 PM

A couple more, a little more plain:

Your last logo, with the gold border around the lettering, is the one I like the best. The league was established in 1960...I think it would be cool to work that into the logo.

Thanks!

knuckler · 03-27-2006, 05:54 PM

How about here? I can move it anywhere you like.

Big Six · 03-27-2006, 09:53 PM

That's exactly where I envisioned it, Knuckler. Great job!

dcpcarmona · 03-28-2006, 02:41 AM

Knuck,

those are mighty fine logos! I had a suggestion for the first Generals one, if you could just have four stars representing 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base and homeplate that might look cool? Just a thought!

Yeah, that's not a bad idea. I'll give it a shot when I finish off the additional Wiiliamsport logo I'm working on. Thanks for the kind words(and idea) as always.
