How does the Pine Valley member's logo differ from the ones in their pro shop?

RH Hobbs:

The Pine Valley logo you can buy in the pro shop has the logo and says Pine Valley.

The Members' simply have the logo with no mention of Pine Valley.

Cheers

Ah yes, well said Mr. Huntley.  The R&A logo is indeed the coolest of all... that trumps all others every time!

I agree. Merion's is really cool. Very understated.

Hod - as you can tell I kinda favor the understated.  And what struck me as particularly cool about Merion's is that as a Californian, it wasn't obvious to me.. I had to look at it and think about it for a second to "get" what it was... but then I knocked my head for even taking that long!

Same goes for R&A... if you just see their logo and don't know what it is, with a little thought you surely can figure it out...

NGLA one just plain needs to know - no figuring that one out.  But it is just plain "neat", to me anyway....

I kinda like Winged Foot and Olympic also, in this understated vein... there are many others.

The great thing about Merion's is that you could figure it out without the name on it (obviously the name was not on it). But that to me is what makes great logos...without the name you know whose it is. Maybe that goes to tradition. Castle Pines has a great logo. I kinda like the Kaanapali whale, too. Maybe not as much as the Pink Dog, though.

I think Augusta's logo has almost become its own brand. Pebble's may be close to that also.

Hod - no doubt re both of those... Pebble's particularly is splashed so ubiquitously that it seems to have lost any meaning.  It WAS a great logo at one time....

What about the Fire Breathing Dragon for Lagoon Legend?  I just wish it was a little bigger on the shirt I bought.

Some subtle but classy logos are Camp Creek, Sand Hills (pretty clever to work it like a ranch brand), and Merion.

i've always liked Fishers Isl.

ever notice similarities in logos?

Shinnecock/Wampanoag/Seminole (that's more an evolution)
Creek/Machrihanish?
