Fun fact: The Nanaimo Bars logo is loosely based on Peter Puck, a cartoon from Hockey Night in Canada in the 1970s. Hear more about the team on this week’s Baseball By Design podcast!

Original sketch for World Baseball Classic logo by Todd Radom, 2005

Original sketch, World Baseball Classic logo, 2005. Everything starts with something, somewhere, somehow. Back then you got a sense of what the event's potential could be, but you had to squint a little bit and project forward, far into the future.

The great @toddradom.bsky.social created the original World Baseball Classic logo, which is still in use today (with a few minor tweaks over the years). Three years ago he joined me on the Baseball By Design podcast to discuss that project.
