That totally looks like Jeff Neuman's stance. Next time I seem him, I'm going to call him 'The Logo'.

Quoted from KingNine:Love that Grand Rapids one. Only pinball people will get it but damn it looks good.
I wore my GRPL T shirt to Disney last week. Got a lot of looks, questions while in line, compliments etc. Nobody got the BOP character though I had to explain it.

Good story and glad to know I was right. Only pinheads really get the image. As a side note related to your story I wore my PAPA shirt home and the security guy at the airport leaned over to his coworker and said "I love those pinball shirts" as I walked by him.

Quoted from thadawkins:Here's ours. Had it done on Fiverr.
As a designer, please dont use that site. Its insulting to artists who deserve to be paid a fair wage for hours of original work. Good design just doesn't happen for $5.

Here is the pinball logo that me and my boys (also designers) rock when playing around Chicago. Jack spent a lot of time making it sweet.

OK, who wants to help me out with a little fun for my league organizer? I've been thinking about logos and since we go by "NIPL" I've got a great idea for a joke, but it's not up to my PS skills. Who can put a couple pinballs in Kate Upton's hands for me? Something like this picture:

With NIPL across her belly or something? Just a quick job for a joke?

Our League tried a few basic logos, but ultimately we chose to use a famous local mural as the basis for our League Logo. We have done a number of different revisions for different uses, with the most recent being our League Trophies.
If you are interested in the original piece and its history, here is the link to the image and an excerpt from the original artist, John Cerney, regarding the image: http://www.johncerneymurals.com/images/boblyman.jpg

Bob Lyman (1995)
One of the 3 original 'giant' figures that Cerney painted for the Crown Packing Company in Salinas, CA. Bob, a fieldman for Crown for over 50 years, was honored with this painting on his 80th birthday. It was originally installed on Highway 101 just south of Salinas, then moved a few years later to Highway 68 near the Salinas River. It was completely re-done in 2002 with the new acrylic paints that the artist now uses.

I roomed briefly with the artist's older brother Phil in the early 80's in Santa Barbara.
At the time, his older brother Phil was an art grad student. This was way before John achieved success as a muralist.
Those giant murals are really impressive.
