 I
created the LogoServer website in the fall of
2000
to showcase my interest in sports and sports logos. For five and a
half years, the site grew and took on a life of its own (with the help
of the free time I had during summers as a teacher). While I searched and
found many of the logos at the beginning, I began to receive lots of
contributions as time when on. Teams and leagues began sending their logos
and I developed a number of connections and friendships through the process
including former players, league officials, and a lawyer here and there.
I learned a huge amount about the history of different sports, leagues, teams,
and even cities. Without ever spending time to publicize the site, it eventually
became the number one listing on Google
for "sports logos".
Finally, in the late winter of
2006,
I was contacted by
baseball-almanac.com.
By this time, I had lost some momentum and wasn't able to spend nearly enough
time on the site to keep up with the gigabytes (literally) of logos that
people were sending me. I finally decided that it was time to hand "my baby"
over to someone else and I knew
baseball-almanac.com
would be a good home.
At some point, I may expand on this little "history" page, but until
then, I want to say that I appreciate all the contributions, contacts,
compliments, and emails I received over the years and I wish everyone the
best of luck.
