Title: Multiple Logos for one Course/Club
Post by: Steve_Roths on August 30, 2013, 01:29:36 PM
I played a course in the NE that had three logos.  I had never seen this before.  They had their logo as two letters in script, they had the full name spelled out, and then they had crossed flags with the script logo on one flag.

I had only ever seen two logos before... Member and Guest logo.

Is there a club with more than three logos?

Go to Scotland and many clubs have multiple logos. St Andrews had more than three as did Carnoustie.

I believe Pine Valley GC has two logos.  The only difference between the two is the word PINE VALLEY.

Pine Valley also has the "new" logo that is in honor of their 100th anniversary. I believe it is the club's original logo brought out from the past.

Yes, and one is for members only.  Many clubs have a members only logo do distinguish from guests.  Aronimink, and Caves Valley to name a couple others.

I think Carnoustie's logos are for different clubs.  I think this is essentially the same at St Andrews.  There is a Links Trust logo and an R&A logo.  Plus there are various "fake" logos in shops about town and various club logos.  

One of the more interesting double logos I have come across is the Sacred 9.  The official logo is the plume of feathers and crown etc.  Then there is the more common Pink Jug logo.  

Ciao

Course and Club don't necessarily mean the same thing. In parts of Scotland the linksland is often, although not always, owned by a Trust within that city/town, examples include St Andrews, Montrose, Aberdeen, Carnoustie. The golf courses on the linksland are thus effectively muni's and most have several private members clubs that have the option to play over the links. There are many clubs, some established centuries ago, with names like Caledonian, Mercantile, Bon-Accord, New, etc, and each has there own crest/badge/logo. There are also Ladies only clubs like the St Rule at St Andrews. Result.....logo's galore!
All the best.

What is the members only logo at Aronimink?

Sam, it's an Indian head very close to Cricket or Seminole.

The Cricket logo is awesome, as is the member's logo at Aronimink.  Then again, I am an absolute sucker for indian head logos.

Then we'll go play Colonial Terrace on your upcoming visit.  ;) :)

I believe Essex County Country Club also has two club logos.  One is a fox and the other is the scripted ECCC.

Not sure what to call it.  I suppose you would say its one of those busy shields (think a less gaudy Trump logo).  Not sure what you call those things.  I got one in the shop there about 15 years ago.  The whale is much better.

Also, Oakmont has two logos.  As does Kingston Heath.

Olympia Fields has two as well. The clock tower is the newer logo and the older "Greek Key" logo (circle with the 4 pt star) is now the members logo.

Shinnecock has an old logo which is really nice. You can see it on some of the old trophies in the cabinet.

Maidstone has three - whale, MC and a crest/shield usually with the word "Maidstone" underneath.

In St. Louis, Old Warson has two logos, one with 4 different colored elongated diamonds and one an acorn with OWCC in the four corners.   Bellerive has a shield with a knight's head and Bellerive written in an Old English font as well as a circle with BCC inside.  Can't think of any other examples in town.

In Philly, Gulph Mills has the classic A. J. Drexel Paul Cup with the crossed golf club as the logo, but if you play in either AJDP Cup (Regular or Senior) you get apparel with just the cup, no golf club.  Subtle but pretty cool.

Their member logo is really neat. A Sand Hills-style cattle branding.

I agree the member logo at RCCC is great.  When I was there this summer, it seemed like all the best stuff in the shop had the member logo.

Also - Plainfield has 2 logos - one is the PCC in a shield and the other a very neat blue and white striped flag.
