Quoted from CaryCarmichael: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.
