I can't believe that's the best Yahoo could come up with, it looks like something a teenager threw together in 15 minutes.

I'm not keen on the gradients/shading, but am ok with it overall as an improvement over the old logo. Clean, and they have a nice idea for rendering it in individual team colors.

Any idea what the dangling 'extra' bit on the left bottom side is? It makes the shield look less like a shield and reminds me of the flag of the Soviet Union.

According to the MLS site:

SLASH: The slash refers to soccer’s speed and energy. The slash begins outside the perimeter and drives upward at a 45-degree angle to illustrate both the nonstop nature of our game and the rising trajectory of our league. It bisects the crest to create a “first half” and “second half.”

Not that I could ever do any better, but my god does that ever suck. Boring font for starters - it's a wonder they didn't use comic sans. And half of the shield is .. blank? I understand that it will be used for team colors, but OMG. It's like they gave up! It just screams "We lack something! Come watch us and try to figure out what it is!"

I absolutely loved the Word Cup this year and am now following soccer again, but this logo does nothing to convey the sport at all. And the slash? it looks like a sword crossing the shield to me, with the gradient looking like steel and the tail the handle. Seems so out of place.

Blech!

What do the three stars represent? The level of play? How many quality players there are in the league? Years till the league goes bankrupt?

I jest, but still what is the significance.

WORDMARK: MLS stands for Major League Soccer.

SLASH: The slash refers to soccer’s speed and energy. The slash begins outside the perimeter and drives upward at a 45-degree angle to illustrate both the nonstop nature of our game and the rising trajectory of our league. It bisects the crest to create a “first half” and “second half.”

STARS: The three stars represent the pillars of our brand: For Club, For Country, For Community.

PERIMETER: The perimeter represents the lines that mark off the field of play.

FIRST HALF AND SECOND HALF: The first half contains MLS and the three stars. The second half is an open white space that brings you in and out of the MLS world

I think the new MLS logo looks lazy. Like they put more effort into explaining it than designing it.

In the end, everything heads towards red and blue, doesn't it? Even that Yahoo logo is heading towards just being blue on the next iteration.

A funny thing is that when you search online for MLS, you get a 50/50 mix of Major League Soccer and Multiple Listing Service for real estate listings.

When you look at the logo search, at least the current MLS logo says soccer with the soccer ball and the kicking. The new logo doesn't have anything soccer in it all. In fact, it looks more like a real estate logo. Seems like the MLS would be a good place to find a foreclosed property.

So I thought it was somewhat meh as well, but it doesn't look horrible on actual team arms, as shown in this FIFA '15 vid (which was released at the same thing, which is... interesting):

The team colors thing is the part I like the most.

The explanation of the different elements though, it actually makes it look sillier than it could be...

Yes.. I kind of liked the logo when it was just a logo... I honestly do not need the explanations for the different parts of it all. Now it just feels like they tried too hard.

It looks pretty awesome on the jersey sleeves, and in the past 24 hours has grown on me a lot. I think the only part I don't like are the gradients.

Yeah, the blank space was screaming for that treatment really. Don't know why the league designers didn't offer that up.

MLS probably spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and it took the fans to make it worthwhile.

That should have been the way to go, it definitely works in a sense that it combines the identity of each individual team and shows the collectivity as a league.

So this is from the creator of the logo, which is actually a really cool way to use it:

MLS — Athletics — A cross-disciplinary creative agency based in New York City

I think the black and color one is utterly fantastic:

Cadillac's new logo vs. old one (s):

The previous logos:


The new one:




When the new logo is incorporated into the cars in the pictures, it looks better than it does just standing alone.

Part of the old AA aluminum livery was that it helped reduced fuel consumption--since paint adds weight. Obviously, the fuel efficiency of the new aircraft has greatly improved.
