Toyonaka-San Mateo Sister City AssociationLogo Design Contest

Thank you. If you ever need logo or other print or web design help, you can message me on here. Good luck with your new logo and the rest of your process! - Jake

Jake - It has been a pleasure working with you. I thank you for being so enthusiastic and fun to work with. At the last minute another design came through that caught our eye so your logo is in the 2nd spot. Wishing you all the best as you continue doing your great work.

All sounds great! I actually have to leave now suddenly for the day, but I will be on in the early evening to knock out these next additions. Have a great Saturday...

40 years less bold and what if "Toyonaka-San Mateo Sister City Association" were in blue at bottom of logo

What if "Toyonaka-San Mateo Sister City Association" were in blue at bottom of logo

Just got confirmation that the bottom of the circle should read the full title "Toyonaka-San Mateo Sister City Association"

WOW! what about the 40 years not quite that bold. match thickness to letters around the circle.

yup. this is getting better and better. I think the bridges curving up from the bottom - curving like the stitches will still be a nice effect. 40 years could be a little less bold? i am going to be offline for a bit but will do my best to respond soon

I really like how this looks with the cities being larger :)

I love the words extending beyond the circle - drop sister city association - still think it might be nice to see the words not curved and let the stitching be the curved part

Maybe try dropping 'sister city association' and just have the two city names

Love that idea... will do it now!

i like the size of the bridge on #3 - then the challenge is to find a place for the 40

try bridge on the bottom of ball in a curve to replace the curve of the ball stitching

40 and bridge in the middle could be a good mix

a blend of this and #4

Something more simplified like this might end up being the way to go!... (Your bridge logo could be saved for other uses if needed.)

too much in the middle - 40 years / flag not enough space

Sounds great. Yes, that may be the case... it is seeming that way. I will work on a couple more based on your most recent comments. Thanks again!

try taking out B&F from the middle and putting the blue color to the B&F on the top outside ring. Leave 40 years in the middle perhaps straight across and not curved

Thanks! I will try to get some feedback from some others to see if we need to keep the bridge. It seems like it would be so much easier and cleaner if we didn't include the bridge.

How would this look without the words being curved

A new set of designs is up, per your feedback! :)

(I purged out all of the old designs to make things easier.)

I really appreciate all of the detailed feedback! I am working on revisions per your comments right now.

change font in circle to be less script due to language issues we need to be more simple in font choice

decided i like a white circle since it looks more like a baseball.

really like the font choice and placement on the outer circle. but would like to see 40 years placed differently.

try a logo without the bridge

the bridge proportion may be too small. how about if we took out the bridge?

I think the Baseball & Friends font needs to be less script like

not a fan of the color and i don't like the solid filled in background

perhaps the letter format of #5 with this graphic would look nice

I like how Baseball & Friends are larger than sister city and i like the stars but that is about all i like about this one

I like how it looks like a baseball. Can 40 Years be more prominent? Sister City tag line can be smaller font and rotated so 40 years is at the top or bottom

And just because I know one of our main uses is t-shirts... this would allow for a very easy and affordable 2-color screenprint for you guys.

New designs are up! Love the idea of bringing the hybrid bridge to the top...

Nice... thanks for the quick feedback! I will get some new designs posted up soon.

I really like this one too! I like the prominent placement of "Baseball & Friends" with the association name at the bottom. Struggling with the flag placement. But I just realized that a pennant is a good concept!

Very attracted to this!
Can I see what if we reduce the font size of the outer circle which would allow for a bigger baseball in the inner circle.
What if the "Baseball & Friends for 40 Years" were under the bridge?

New design that incorporates a custom baseball script font as well!...

We can also easily update colors on the fly to pretty much any combo you want!... :)

Hello,

Here is my idea for the logo design for your new 40th Anniversary mark! I think something very clean and bold is the way to go here—you don't want to get too cliparty or complicated with imagery. I think a simplified round emblem might do the trick. I can see this looking great on shirts and then maybe a simple logo of the '40 Years' portion for hats perhaps!

Take a look when you get some time, review with others, etc., and we can go from there :)

I look forward to any thoughts you might have, and will gladly provide swift revisions as needed.

Thanks!
