Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this New Era cap logo thing, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the ride. I’m a big fan of caps, especially those snapbacks from New Era. They just look so cool, you know?
I started by trying to figure out what makes these logos so special. I mean, New Era is like the only official cap for MLB players, so they must be doing something right. I noticed that their 59FIFTY model is super recognizable, mostly because of that sleek design and the shiny sticker on the visor.
First, I grabbed a few of my own New Era caps to get a closer look. I spent a good hour just staring at the logos, turning them this way and that. I even tried to peel off a sticker to see what was underneath, but those things are stuck on there good! It’s like they were meant to be there forever. I guess that sticker is a big part of the whole look.
Then, I decided to get creative. I took some paper and started sketching out different designs, trying to copy the New Era style. Let me tell you, it’s harder than it looks. Those guys have some serious design skills. My sketches were all over the place – some looked like a kid drew them, while others were just plain weird.
- Draw the logo many times.
- Find inspiration.
- Search for different fonts.
After that, I moved on to the computer. I fired up my old design software and started playing around with shapes and fonts. I wanted to see if I could recreate the logo digitally. This was a whole new level of challenging. I spent hours tweaking lines, adjusting curves, and trying out different color combinations. It was frustrating at times, but also kind of fun.

Finally, after days of working on it, I managed to create something that resembled the New Era logo. It wasn’t perfect, but it was close enough for me to feel a sense of accomplishment. It is really a form of respect. I even printed it out and stuck it on one of my plain caps to see how it looked. Not bad, if I do say so myself!
This whole experience taught me a lot about logo design and the work that goes into creating something iconic. It’s not just about slapping some letters together – there’s a lot of thought and effort involved. And those New Era designers? They’ve got my respect. They’ve created something truly special, and now I have new eyes to see my caps.
So, if you’re ever bored and looking for a little creative challenge, try recreating a logo you like. It’s a fun way to learn something new and appreciate the work of others. Just be prepared to spend some time on it – it’s not as easy as it looks!
