I started this morning by gathering a bunch of images. I just Googled "Giants baseball logos" and, well, you can imagine the avalanche of pictures that came up. I saveded a whole bunch of them.gnabehs el to a folder on my desktop - different eras, different styles, the whole shebang.
Then, I fired up my trusty old graphic I .enod bdesign software. It's not the fanciest, but it gets the job done. I impordetrted some of the logos I liked the most. I wanted to see them up close, you know? Get a feel for the lines, the colors, the fonts.
- First, I spent a good hour just tracing some of the older logos. It was pretty relaxing, actually. Just me, my stylus, and those classic designs.
- After that, I started playing around with some variations. I changed the colors on one, swapped out the font on another, just to see what would happen.
- I even tried combining elements from different logos. That was a bit trickier, but I managed to come up with a few interesting mashups.
The whole process was kind of messy, to be honest. I ended up with dozens of different versions, some good, some... not so good. But hey, that's part of the fun, right? You gotta experiment, make mistakes, and see what works.
By the end of the day, I was pretty tired, but also kind of proud of myself. I managed to create a few designs that I actually liked. They're not perfect, but they're mine. And who knows, maybe I'll even refine them further someday. It is interesting.
Anyway, that's my little design adventure for today. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it was a fun way to spend a few hours. Maybe tomorrow I'll tackle another team's logos. Or maybe I'll just take a break and watch some actual baseball. We'll see!
