Charlotte Knights AAA Ballpark in Third Ward

[Urbanity]

uhm - yeah.   

 

[tozmervo]

here's to putting competitor's towers on your corporate-branded logo.

Hey that's unity right there! 

[nonillogical]

It's got a lot of problems but I'm usually braced for these kind of logos to come out a lot worse. I was under the impression that we were going to see a refreshed Knights logo though, not just the ballpark's logo?

The announcement was specifically for the ballpark logo. It was misstated on here.

That logo looks like a default avatar for Halo 2 or something. Very, very bleh.

It's a corporate logo on a minor league stadium... It's not like they just rebranded something that's known worldwide. Honestly, it looks fine to me. I actually like how they blended the signature Charlotte buildings into it.

I love how it incorporates the skyline, personally

[jednc]

I agree...not too bad at all. I like the skyline nod as well.

It's better than the Bobcats scoreboard which is missing 7-10 buildings including Duke Powertower.

Clearly we need a basketball team with a better record if we're talking about this...

That's BS, it was outdated when we won 45 games and made the playoffs a few years back.

And that's my main issue with "skyline" logos.  They look cool for a couple years, then just look horridly outdated.  It's not like they are going to go back and add new buildings.  What if this Crescent project really is transformative and defines our skyline for the 2010's.  And is completely missing from this logo.

 

Again, it's not the end of the world, I'd just prefer something more classic that won't look dated by 2016.

I think it's bland as all hell and says nothing about Charlotte - looks more like someone giving the middle finger than the skyline .

 

Looks like something a rent-a-security guard uniform would have sewn on the side shoulder sleeve.

This is my last post on this since we've gotten way off topic, but is it really THAT big of a deal? At the rate Charlotte was putting up new buildings at the time, it was outdated in a few years. Perhaps they should just stick with something that highlights the signature towers like BB&T's logo or just do nothing at all that references it.

Sounds like the Bobcats are missing 7-10 players.

They have won 2 in a row, and are looking like a real team lately.

[Dale]

Two in a row ? Break up the Bobcats!

[MilZ]

If we win our next game... then in the matchup with the Heat this weekend will be "2 teams with the longest win streaks of their season on the line!" haha

Was looking through the Knights UMUD Rezoning for their signage and noticed this great spot for a Brewery that would seemingly serve both the general public on days when the park is closed and the baseball fans during games. I had not seen it in previous renderings so I thought I'd share.

[atlrvr]

Any idea if they plan on using brick-pavers for the sidewalk?  Just noticed how ugly the concrete looks in that rendering.  There is brick-pavers along Trade in front of TWC Arena (I think).

[Guest]

I think they are on the corners and on the park side of the project, I'm not sure about the rest. I'll read into it tonight.

[michaelef]

Looks like the signage passed for the stadium.

Looks like signage could be a little loud, hopefully the ads aren't too tacky. It could be nice if there's some level of conformity.

Interesting on page 27 it shows a street between the stadium grounds and the proposed hotel/office complex.
