In honor of the first week of baseball, we wanted to give a little shout-out to the designer of one of the most iconic logos of the 20th century. Jerry Dior designed the Major League Baseball logo. Though there was previously some confusion about the logo’s authorship, after conducting the proper research, MLB officially announced its recognition of Dior as the designer this past September.
Dior’s logo is an amazing piece of work, and its timeless quality has kept it basically unchanged for almost 40 years, and it’s still the centerpiece of the MLB identity, on hats, merchandise, and nearly everything else.
“I went with the silhouette because it was simple and easy to reproduce. I thought it had a good identity — but I never imagined it would become what it has.”
-Dior on MLB.com
