Blues vs Stars


vs
BLUES
STARS
4-5
3-4


The Aesthetics
Both logos are simple and strong if you can look past the wordmarks in the Stars logo. Unfortunately, for this point, I can't.
Blues

The Nickname
The all-consuming ball of fire we call a Star would have its way with anything on this planet. Even the Blues and those who sing them.
Stars

The Analysis
The Blues logo is a blue musical note. Very fitting. I did like the shoulder logo they wore in the '90s with the blue trumpets but I think most St. Louis fans would revolt over that one. As for the Stars, if you can go beyond the wordmarks, which I can for this point, you can't help but notice the the giant star is by itself — like the Lone Star State of Texas. The Blues logo really makes no references to the Gateway City.
Stars


WINNER
2-1

can anyone smell someone who has WAY too much free time?

Well, you'll get no argument from me on that score. On occasion I do find myself with a little too much extra time on my hands. Gotta fill it with something.

And while I haven't yet learned how to smell things through a computer, sometimes I can take 10 or 15 minutes a day to write something fun.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to comment if you have anything useful to say in the future. I appreciate any and all comments.
