Brandon Corbett, of
Wiffle in SE Michigan, has began constructing an interesting wiffle website. It's called
Wifffle Logos Resource and he's been archiving the team logos of leagues and teams. So far he's only done a few leagues but I'm sure he'll have it all done by the end of next season. So why is he doing this? He explained on a thread on the NWLA messageboard, "
Well, first off I love design and logos in general. Second, there are a ton of great (silly-great, and great-great) logos in use throughout NWLA, but usually don't get noticed outside of their own leagues. We already learn a bit about the cultural nuances, similarites, and differences of our leagues bumping shoulders on these forums; so, the WLR is a good way to extend that into seeing a bit more about a league through its creative side, as well." Noticed that teams from your league aren't featured yet? Try to help Brandon out by saving him a lot of legwork and drop him an email with the logos attached. So far he only appears interested in doing NWLA logos, once he gets that done he may or may not do GSWL and other non-NWLA organizations.
The NWLA is just a convenient list to mine as a starting point; I'm definitely looking to include GSWL and other non-NWLA leagues, too. Once I have a handle on most of it, I'll probably start running down your league tracker.
ReplyDeleteThe legwork is almost always a strange sort-of hunt; every league displays them in their own way. Of course, many leagues don't have team logos, at least not online anyway, but even their league logos often can be hidden in the weeds. Two of my biggest "white whales" are Palisades and Potomac. Potomac has some really cool logos (DC Twits, for example), but not every team has a logo; so I don't know what to do with that. Palisades has their script and league logo built into the design of their background, which isn't impossible to deal with, but I usually just say, "I can do two or three other leagues in the same time." Hah.
That was a long rambling to get to saying: yes! E-mails are very welcome! Submissions for your league/team and any corrections that need to be made.
