LOOK: Padres, MLB release 2016 All-Star Game logo

Here is the logo for the 2016 All-Star Game, which will be played in San Diego.

The 2015 All-Star Game was just this week, but MLB and the Padres are already looking forward to the 2016 Midsummer Classic. The logo for the 2016 All-Star Game, which will be hosted by San Diego's Petco Park, was released on Friday.

Here's the logo:

Very nice. Simple yet colorful with some Gaslamp Quarter elements. Very ... San Diego-y.

Interestingly, commissioner Rob Manfred suggested promotional events for the 2016 All-Star Game could take advantage of the locale and extend into Mexico.

Manfred has said one of his main goals is to grow the game globally. Another is to generate more interest among younger fans. Holding some All-Star Game promotional events in Mexico next summer would help accomplish both.

The 2016 All-Star Game will be the third in San Diego and the first in Petco Park. The 1978 and 1992 games were played at Jack Murphy Stadium.
