NCLL Logo Redesign: Process and Approval
This document outlines the process by which the North Central Little League (NCLL) undertook the redesign
of
its logo. It details the steps from initial concept to final approval, highlighting the collaborative
effort and considerations that shaped the new design.
-
Initiation: The need for a new logo was identified, with the aim of creating
a design
that was more inclusive of both baseball and softball. Chris Cunningham took the lead on this
initiative.
-
Collaboration: Chris Cunningham collaborated with another NCLL parent who has
graphic
design skills to develop the new logo. Additionally, other board members including Nicole, Ryan,
Kirsten,
and Cole were involved in the process.
-
Design Constraints: It was important to adhere to Little League
rules, which
stipulate that the logo cannot include any balls.
-
Conceptualization and Presentation: By the NCLL board meeting on
November
19th, three distinct logo concepts were presented to the board: "Field of Dreams," "Sandlot," and
"League of
Our Own".
-
Selection of Initial Direction: During the November 19th meeting, the
board
selected the "Field of Dreams" concept to move forward with for further development. The board
also
discussed elements such as accent colors and the neutrality of the logo.
-
Refinement and Review: Following the initial selection, the board
underwent
two rounds of visual design mockup reviews. This suggests an iterative process where the chosen
concept was
refined based on feedback.
-
Final Approval: The final version of the new NCLL logo was voted
on and
approved by the board on December 17th. This decision came after the two rounds of design mockup
reviews.
The NCLL logo redesign was a collaborative and iterative process, beginning with the need for a more
inclusive design and culminating in board approval after multiple rounds of refinement. Key considerations
included Little League regulations and the desire to represent both baseball and softball.
