LOGO DESIGNERS: "FAVORITES COMPILATION" #4 INDIANAPOLIS ROUNDERS

LOGO DESIGNERS: LOGO #4 FOR THE "FAVORITES COMPILATION"

INDIANAPOLIS ROUNDERS

"ROUNDERS" was chosen because of its ties to an English forerunner and ancestor of baseball...the game of "rounders"...circling the "posts" (or "bases" in baseball) is called a "rounder" and is award one point in the game...similar to a baseball "run".

Also chosen because Indianapolis is the home of the Indianapolis 500 racing event....where the Cars go "round and round and round"...hence "Rounders". This connection may be a little bit of a stretch, but I will include it here for your edification about the selection process.

Sorry...didn't want this in this thread.

canadiancreed · 02-02-2005, 02:47 PM

what about CornHuskers or something along those lines? Lord knwos that's all there seem to be when I went there a few years back

Le Grande Orange · 02-02-2005, 02:59 PM

Oh man, I'm 0-4 so far. Four different team names, and all four times nothing jumps out at me as a design concept. Back to my usual bag of tricks it seems... not that that's bad or anything, it's a pretty good bag of tricks, but it would be nice if one of the names would just pop out at me with a great idea...
