Sportslogo Spotter: WBSC Premier 12 World Baseball Championship
January 21, 2015
Global baseball kicks up a gear this November when Japan hosts the inaugural World Baseball Softball Confederation Premier 12 tournament, pitting the top 12 ranked national teams in a round-robin tournament. Basically it’s a reboot of the World Baseball Classic concept.
The new logo has just been unveiled, designed by UK firm The Works Ltd, who have the Brazil World Cup branding under their belt.
The result? A star spangled baseball in a swirl of swishy gradients.

What do you think? Does it carry any weight? Does it hold unique intrigue? Does it look official?
Personally I prefer the surer lines and bolder colours of Todd Radom's WBC design.
