Another Baseball Design

[Joe Diaz]

Had a customer stop in with plans to build a memorial baseball field on his property. We developed a logo and sign layout.

Very nice design Joe.

To be honest it's too hard to read. Poor contrast.

That said, it's very pleasing on the eyes and laid out well! Has a great feel to it, I just think a wee bit more contrast would've helped.

Well, I wouldn't go as far as saying "poor" contrast. I don't know how I can go with any stronger contrast than white text on forest green with a black drop shadow. I could just do white on just black but I got to get some green in there. I didn't think it was that hard to read. I mean it is a script, but a pretty easy to read one and it matches the theme.

Perhaps you are talking about the two brothers??? What I did do was add an extra color and darken the clouds to gray on the background, perhaps that will help the brothers pop a bit more.



Keep in mind this isn't a corporate logo. It isn't to advertise a business. It is simply a memorial for the guys son. They want to print up shirts, have a sign made, and that is about it. It was important that he have both his kids, corn fields and a baseball theme. I'm not trying to make excuses for the design, but I do want to explain the purpose of the layout and why I chose not to go with a clean and corporate look. It just wouldn't fit in this case.

This version is real nice Joe! I like the few extra colors. Subtle but nice.

I don't care if he does spell it differently how can anyone see that without thinking "The Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field"?

I guess with it being more as a memorial layout that does change things too. I'm just always on people about contrast, I like loud. But loud doesn't fit here.

But you're probably right, for the application it'll work good! Nice job, I could tell it was a Diaz piece if I saw it in real life. You've established a "style", but it's a good one.

I know I know. I almost turned the job away being a Bears fan.:ROFLMAO:

I liked it in the first post but I like it even more with the added color, Joe.
It's a real feel-good kinda sign, reminds me of a few fave family pix from when Grandad lived out near Weaselboogie.
Love....Jill

I like it looks good and it has that field of dreams feel to it.

I really dig the main logo. The cornfield is a great touch!!!

The font is a bit hard to read, but then again I do not care much for script type fonts. It would be been cool just for kicks to see it in a more traditional style font.

Overall, that is an awesome design concept. Your client should be very happy.

Side note:
It's so cool they are building a baseball field in memory of someone special.
