Pre-Made Logos

Also, the logos need not all be particularly complex. Given that for game purposes they shouldn't include the city name but just the team nickname, that helps simply things somewhat. If you use real-world examples of simply designed logos like that of the Cubs or Giants, there could be a number of pre-made logos for OOTP that use similarly basic designs.

Agreed. But Cuss's logos are rarely simple. For instance, this in-process Badger logo has taken me several hours. Usually the hardest part for me is getting the overall design setup rather than the actual art.

Yeah, I believe he did the fictional team logos for TPB, which were great. Of course, that's 30, a much more reasonable number.

I think the idea of a quickstart league with fictional logos would work...

Agreed. I was just pointing out alternative approaches. In my case, my drawing skills don't allow me to create appropriate animals or similar creations for logos so I have to use simpler designs. Which I don't mind, actually, as sometimes a more "plain" design (for lack of a better word) can produce a logo that feels like one from earlier years.

Same here. I usually end up constantly shifting between two small choices over and over because I can't quite decide which I like better. My big downfall is colour selection, I really struggle with that one.
