Logo History

Ok, a year later now that the 2 new courts are in place with some shelter and a deck one thing I want to do is get a few shirt designs online and see if I can sell them beyond Fort Wayne. It relates to the idea of a Fair Play philosophy, and to the Fair Play mission statement and the Fair Play code of ethics. I've also wanted to write a "Fair Play Manifesto" and shoot more video and pictures but there's only so much that can be done...

This concentration can emphasize a character and uniqueness to the "franchise" and maybe Fair Play as a volleyball business could be successful in another city... like Pittsburgh, or in Hawaai.. lol.

I don't really have a regular logo for Fair Play. The first one is this one below done by a "Mona" who wouldn't give me a digital copy of it.


So since I couldn't get a digital copy I went to Classic Products, who played in the league, and had a new one done based on that (below):
















I also had Classic do a 9/11 shirt for a charity event:













Then a Mark from the league took some of my ideas and came up with some images. Unfortunately I either misplaced or never received some of them in digital form. Nevertheless there are a lot of circular logos:


as well as the commie logo:


My favorite, of these, was always this simple blue one:


Mark took one of my ideas and then I found a mantis, um somewhere, and a Jen helped make the Mantis logo:



Next up Sandra made a cool merger of the Spiece and Fair Play logos:



and also some logos for the cornhole leagues at that time:



And then last year, after I heard someone say they wished the summer wouldn't ever end, I came up with the idea for the Ouroborus shirt (Endless Summer), and had Classic do it:
















Here are a few shirt shots from the league:





A few other art ideas: here, here, & here.
