Kinda saw that coming. So did everyone else in the world, including the not so jolly Colon. 4-1 Ex-Expos

Not so jolly now. Slow to cover first and it costs Colon. 1-1 Mets

Are... you trying to get me to listen to Mike Fucking Francesa?! He's actually on some TV channel all afternoon over here in SJ. So you can also see him. Isn't that special?

Oh boy. I just went to Twitter for the 3rd time in my life. This can't be good... But some of these responses are classic funny. A few nice ones but everyone's trying to be funny now since it got a spotlight. I don't even know how to enter one. Do I type the backslash bit and then add my comment? Wait....maybe not knowing how to tweet is good. I don't think the world is ready for me.

Since people are a merger of various organs, chemicals and biological processes combined together into a united whole, it could be easily argued that people are the result of incorporation and, thus, are themselves corporations. So deduct away! I'll send you a cake with a file in it, when i find out what prison you'll be serving time in. BoomBamBing! I think that door should swing both ways. I'll defend ya in a court'Olaw, Bats.

zvon ?@zvon #imametsfanbecause they provide comedy gold!

I find this to be hilarious. The Mets media cannot be as clueless as we think. It's a button pushing question for a Mets fan. How could they not know that? It's gotta be any PR is good PR thinking. If not,...that would be amazin'. Amazingly bad.

I really wanted some blue up there too. I tested it with the B&W cityscape, but when I went blue tint I went all out for reproducing the logos correct colors (the initial sky was a white/blue but I changed that to pure white). I will create a sky blue layer see how the sky looks with different shades of blue. Lefty Specialist wrote: Images of the Empire State Building need to be licensed and approved. Don't know about the others. Just saying. Appreciate it. It's something I would need to know. If I wanted to market this there are so many factors that would have to be considered. I may approach The7line and Darren because they have more than a foot in the door these days. This logo work is a spinoff from another project which involves the 2015 Mets and my proposition for a 2015 team slogan. I started that before the Mets Realogo. I collected cityscape pictures for that project and found the B&W one that inspired using photo images of the buildings for the Mets logo. The slogan work also involves use of the Empire State Building, and I wasn't thinking of image rights or anything. Just creating something from a vision. Probably couldn't use it w/o proper licensing and allAdat. That sucks, but I just make the stuff. The marketing part has always been alien to me.

I have a friend, Chris P. (always called Chrispy), a big Met fan who along with me was pissed off over the strike in the early 90s and no World Series. He swore off big league games & teams. I did too but he was more serious than I. I wouldn't initiate trips to the ballpark but I'd go from time to time. I don't think he's been to a big league game since. There was a local minor league team here in AC, the Surf. This guy got his baseball fix there, and he lived real close to the stadium so he went to lots and lots of games. I attended a few games with him. I remember one, the place was almost empty and I was talking about how I almost, but never, got a foul ball. And he says,"Oh you want a foul ball? I go to all the games. If you want a foul ball you have to stand over here....". And he walks up around ten rows and to the right of where we were, says," You gotta stand right about here." And as he says it, the guy at the plate hits a foul ball that flies above & past us, hits the cement facing of the second level stands, and ricochets right to Chrispy, who catches it and looks at me like it was the most natural thing to ever happen. We cracked up for a good 3 minutes over that.

Bridge still needs work. Looks good shrunk small. Full size, not so much.

Slight delay of logo. I'm trying to cut the bridge out better and I made it worse. Gah.

Did you really write a letter to the Commish? If so, I salute you.

That was done for an early version where it needed to stand out more. Drop shadow on NY dropped. Make yourself comfortable. Once again, when you stare at a graphic for hours sometimes you look right thru things, so thnx for your eyes & comment. I hope to post the finished color one tonight. Adding details to make the cityscape more accurate to Gallos original. I can't believe there's no game tonight. WTF? Only a week left before no-mo Mets game at all. WAAAHHHH!

I ran into a problem on a T-shirt design I made- they axed it because it was a re-creation of the 1966 Batmobile. I was pissed off about that because it wasn't a picture of the car, but a graphic drawing I created (I'm sure I've shared it here, yrs ago when I made it). But they said no, the "image" of the car can't be used. Bastages. T-shirts would be kool if it can be done. I'll get a few done locally to see how they look. Under the logo, I want mine to say: " It's time to take back the city." Thanks for all the positive feedback on this. It's funny, I didn't expect this response. Just having fun with the logo.

I think having Wally coach for a season is a good idea. TC can go out a winner (Mets make the post in '15) and the transition to Wally can end up feeling like a more natural thing. TC retires from field work, Backman steps right on up.

Thanks guyz I'll post the final(s) when it's wrapped up. The UN building is and always will be a beautiful structure. It's the base that makes it distinctive to me, gives it character. The whole thing is so 60's looking, even though it went up in '52. Like Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea 60's. It was pictured in the opening of The Man From Uncle. I'll never forget the way it was filmed in Hitchcock's North By Northwest (1959), set to Bernard Hermann's classic soundtrack. Yikes, I just learned this: When he was unable to obtain permission to film in the UN Headquarters, director Alfred Hitchcock covertly filmed Cary Grant arriving for the 1959 feature North by Northwest. After the action within the building, another scene shows Grant leaving across the plaza looking down from the building's roof. This was created using a painting. I never knew that. A matte shot.
