Melbourne Sports Museum Critiques.
Melbourne Cricket Club logo.
Design by J. Raulson in 1838.
The Melbourne Cricket Club was founded in 1838 and is thought to be the oldest sports club in Australia. The logo resembles the times of the clubs formation. It has that vintage feel to it, practically the typeface and the bold outlines of each letter. Contrast has being created by the colours chosen for each letter which focuses and brings forward certain objects creating a Hierarchy. In this case it's the bright red of the letter M. The symmetry and balance of the letters create a nice shape, along with the smooth curves.
I quite like the logo. Its symmetrical, nicely balanced, simplistic and has a modernised vintage feel to it. It represents, in a strong way, a very important part of Melbourne and Australia’s history and culture, which is probably the most important factor.

Melbourne victory Jersey.
Melbourne Victory is a soccer team found in 2004 with the inception of the new A-league season.
There logo and branding was done by Mileage Creative, A design studio based in Bendigo. There jersey’s main focal point is the V going across the chest and along the arms. The colour of it (white) creates contrast with the darker colours of the surrounding areas. The triangular shape also forms symmetry and balance. Also the tip of the triangle points to there main sponsor, Samsung, which I doubt wasn’t done unintentionally. There’s also a sense of unity with the shape connecting to the white stripes. The colours are coolish blues and greys and silver. They encompass the traditional state sporting colours of Victoria.
The jersey’s colour is what I really like about it. I don’t like the placement of the logo’s, there to low and close together (the A-league logo and the Melb Victory logo). But at least there aligned perfectly. Also the sponsor, reebok is a downgrade from adidas.
