Old Logo

New Logo

The Kansas City Logo


Why did they change the logo?

They changed the logo because they believe that it would be more classic looking and clean.



Why these colors?

Resemble the logos of the long-revered Kansas City Monarchs and Blues baseball teams.


Why this typeface?

This typeface is more "clean" and more sophisticated looking for the baseball teams. But some people might call it boring or un original from the old logo.

What i personally like more or less about the new logo?

I Like the new colors and typeface on the logo rather than the typeface and color of the old logo. The old logo was boring and plain white and didn't look very proportional compared to the new logo.

PERSONALITY TYPE

For my exact personality type i had ESTJ which mean Extraversion, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging. all of the screen captures from the website can explain more.


With this it explains the ESTJ trait a lot better and explains exactly what it is and what the personality types for ESTJ are.


This Explains some well known people that have the same personality trait as me. Then explains there exact personality type and what they did in there life time.

Don't make me think - Steve Krug

For each one of these different principles below I've found a website to describe what is going on.

1. A site with excessive background noise or with excessive busy-ness.
LINKhttp://www.lingscars.com
This shows WAY to much of background noise and busy-ness with everything going on you have no idea what you are looking for. Then you also have a very annoying music in the background that is pretty much forcing you to click off of this website.

2. A site with a very low amount of competing noise.
LINKhttp://www.ewedding.com
This is a very good example of a website with not very much competing noise because there are no annoying animations or music in the background that would distract you from the main topic or why you went to the website in the first place

3. A site where it is not obvious what is clickable.
LINK: http://irishwrecksonline.net
This doesn't show any obvious signs that there would be any links on this webpage. There is also a lot other stuff wrong with this website but this probably shows the most.

4. A site where it is obvious what is clickable.
LINKhttp://www.unlocking.com
This website had a very good example of where you click if you go to this website because it doesn't make you think a lot whenever you first go to the website and its very easy to find out anything you would be looking for inside a link.

5. A site not split up into clearly defined areas.
LINKhttp://arngren.net
This is a VERY bad example of a website all together... but i believe that this would be a great example of not very defined areas because of how cramped everything all together was.

6. A site split up into clearly defined areas.
LINKhttp://www.cloudpassage.com
This shows a very good example of defined areas because everything is very spaces apart to the point to where it doesn't look bad but its just right to find your way around and know what your looking for.

7. A site that makes good use of conventions.
LINKhttp://www.amazon.com
This shows a lot of good different convention like the logo, important items, and obvious places to go.

8. A site that make good use of visual hierarchies.
LINKhttp://www.freshbooks.com
This shows a good example of visual hierarchies because it has all of the same color scheme, good contrast, shows whats most important, and the important things are very obvious.

This is another fancy logo that i've done on photoshop that is really simple and easy to make. This is good for anything and really easy to change the text. This was made with a new downloaded font that i've never seen or messed with before with a easy circle in the background to have more of the "logo" effect towards the text.
