All Star Week: MMO 2013 All Star Game At Citi Field Logos
An article by 
Here is a re-post of the amazin’ designs that Kelly created for the 2013 All Star Game, which is expected to be played at Citi Field according to multiple reports, including ESPN New York. Major League Baseball plans to play the 2013 All-Star Game at Citi Field, though an official announcement may not happen until later this year. Joe D.
The only time the Mets have ever hosted “The Mid-Summer Classic” was in 1964, the season Shea Stadium opened. The nearly 50-year drought is the longest a major league franchise has ever gone without hosting the game, according to SI.com.
Last summer In July, I created four mock-up 2013 All Star Game logos and posted them on MMO. Additionally, we took a vote to see which one our readers preferred the most.
Here are the results of our poll…
Here are the designs that you voted on…
Each design tells a story about the rich history and imagery of our team and it’s wonderful city.
*Click on each design to enlarge and see the graphic in high resolution.*
1. Mets All Star Skyline – The first entry is representative of the classic Mets logo with such aspects as the skyline and bridge and of course the shape.
Ranked #1 with 895 votes.
2. Big Apple All Stars – The Home Run Apple is one of the most popular and familiar Mets symbols. Many Mets fans remember campaigning to save the apple when the team moved from the beloved Shea Stadium to the new Citi Field.
Ranked #4 with 518 votes.
3. All Stars Across the Unisphere – Arguably Queens’ most iconic symbol, the Unisphere is located in Flushing Meadow Park and not far from the home of the Mets.
Ranked #3 with 567 votes.
4. Mr. Met Is An All Star – A happy Mr. Met sits atop this All Star logo which is in the shape of home plate.
Ranked #2 with 725 votes.
Thanks to everyone for participating!
LGM!

They are all nice designs. But a design that would be nice in the would be one that incorporates Citi field with the Jackie Robinson Rotunda and Mr. Met.
Thinking you could at a star for each year for the Mets. Playing off your Mr Met is an All Star.
It should look more like the Domino’s Pizza Logo…Maybe add in some Brooklyn Dodgers themes.
This is the first time I’m seeing this comment. CLASSIC
You are joking, right? Isn’t it bad enough that the main entrance to our stadium is named after a dead Dodger, when a less-grandiose tribute to Robsinson would have been plenty? I suppose it’s our bad luck that our owner happens to be first and foremost fan of another organization & that he and his son needed an organized online campaign by Mets fans in order to post something about his team’s history around the place.
How awesome are all of these?! The first one is sort of retro and makes me feel like it’s 1970 something, really cool. Great job is a total understatement Kelly.
#3 is clearly my fav. Nice work all around, Kelly.
Pardon me for being so bold but I would like a design that incorporates Citi Field with the first playoff game hosted there in 2010.You could stick Mr Met there with a picture of Freddye Wilpon too… as long as the Mets make the post season.We got to keep our collective eye on the prize!!!!!
C’mon guys, vote for the Apple! lol
Great job on all of them!
Outstanding job! Tough choice, but the apple is so hard to vote against.
All of them are awesome Kell–as usual.
Its hard to pick one but I’m going to go with the first one.
That one is the Mets logo without saying ‘Mets’ anywhere on it. Everyone knows full well that is our logo and has remained unchanged for almost 50 years.
Just looking at that, people will immediately know where the ASG will be.
But really, all of them are great!!!
nice job kelly, i like #1 and mr met
All of these are made of AWESOMENESS! with the Apple clearly the most inspired.
#1 and #3 are clearly the best ones. But #3 is very similar to the world series logo, so my choice is def. #1. ITS CLASSIC METS!!!
LOVE #’s 3 & 4!!!! The first – retro yes, but just reminds me of something I would readily see with the Yankee logo….. The Unisphere – PERFECT backdrop!!! Reminds of all the times we would drive past it growing up!!!!
I like #3, but it’s more of the type of logo for the ’64 ASG because of the unisphere. #4 is good too. And i think i saw a good one on MetsPolice.com the other day.
#4 is by far the best
I like the apple, though it’s similar to the ’77 logo for Yankee Stadium. I do like the Unisphere, but it may be too similar to the ’64 logo.
I voted for the Apple, for sentimental reasons (like the fact that my 3-year-old son always asks if the Mets are playing at Citifield, followed by, during road games, the next question… “Do they have the apple there?”) Mr. Met would be my second sentimental choice.
The unisphere one is very, very classy and nice. But the skyline one probably would have the best chance of actually winning (it just needs “Citifield” on it, but would they put that on the logo because of the rule against Corporate names on patches and logos?)
We all know it is going to be another domino’s pizza patch like on the uniforms last year.
Fantastic work on all of these logos. I voted 3 mainly because I like the unisphere and what it symbolizes particularly with Queens being the most diverse part of the city.
If the skyline could be incorporated into #2 maybe at the bottom where the bridge is i might have voted for that one. Either way they are all awesome
These are incredibly impressive. Please find a way to submit these to people who are actually in charge of all-star logos. I think they would really love to see them.
i think it would be hilarious to have every allstart with a mr met logo on their caps lol
seriously thou i vote in order 3,4,1,2
The Skyline logos is the only logo that has been with the Mets since theri beginning. The apple and Mr. Met are great but I the tradition of the skyline gets my vote although it needs a Mets reference (prefer the traditional NY of Mets).
The Unisphere was more approriate for the 1964 World’s Fair and the last time the Mets hosted the ASG.
all are very well done, but #4 gets my vote!
Great job Kelly!! They are ALL awesome!! I like the apple because it looks the most modern. But the other three have a sense of nostalgia about them. It’s so hard to choose my fave, but I’d go with the apple, unisphere, mr met, then skyline, in that order. Hope MLB does right by you and picks one!!
How about picking out World Series patches? Oh, I am sorry we have given that to the Yankees in this town…along with our hearts & soul.There I said what everybody is thinking!
all of them look good, but i like the apple one, but it would be much better if you added up the rotunda of citifield, but it looks nice, after all, the big apple is one of our top symbols of our team and fanbase.
I like the Big Apple All Stars without the blue box around the logo
I like different things about all of them – great job!! In case anyone is interested, the logo used for the 1964 All-Star Game can be found here:

Kinda pales in comparison to what Kelly has come up with here, don’t you think?!

I voted for #3, but I would certainly vote for all four. The designs are outstanding! Considering that 2013 would have been the 50th season of Shea Stadium, perhaps an homage to Shea Stadium would have been fitting as well. That’s why of the four choices, I prefer the one with the Unisphere, since that was constructed for the World’s Fair, which coincided with the opening of Shea Stadium.
I can understand why you mentioned Shea but I just dont think its proper. I mean they award the all star game to a stadium not really the team, IDK. Unless you did something with Shea and Citi combined I dont think it would accurately represent the AS game. (No offense meant towards Miss Sweet Shea.)
Thank you for your comment and your thoughtful vote
I just want to thank everyone who voted and commented on this post. Its been a fun experience and I look forward to a lot more fun design projects in the future!
An overwhelming 2,500 votes have been tallied and I will post a winner in the next few days.
LETS GO METS!
P.S. I know better than to jinx our team, so there will be no World Series logo mock-ups in the future until its a done deal! LOL
The first one screams mets with out doing so, the third one is classy and appeals to a wide audience, the forth would be an amazing patch for the team to wear all season, the one with the apple just doesn’t do it for me but and nice job with all of them
