illwauk Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I'm doing a project where I'm trying to figure out what the Division 1 conferences might look like if the NCAA started enforcing rules such as "no more than 10 teams to a league," etc. Anyway, this league would be for the the non-football members of the Big East who in my scenario would break off and form their own conference.I was looking for a way to work a way to emphasize the "north" and came up with the compass/star. I'm also not sold on the name "Big North," but the only other name I could think of was "Northern Sky," but the more I say it, the more it sounds like an airline. Anyway, y'all know what to do...

swilson160 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 How about the Northern Athletic Conference (NAC)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 This is something I got from an article I read some time ago, but how about the "Private Party".All the Big East basketball schools are Catholic run, right? How about the "Holy League". Edit-just saw the "North" thing.

ltravisjr Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Not to shabby at all. I would probably have made it midnight blue, but black is quite alright. My only other suggestion would be to skew the compass/star to match the skew angle of the lettering. Regarding the name of the conference - I like it!LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 It seems a little plain color wise, but everything else is fine, I'm likin the design and the name, nice job, just wondering if your gonna be doing any other fictitious conferences. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I agree with the remark about the color. I would probably make the logo midnight navy with some silver and maybe even some white thrown in there. Nonetheless, it is a great logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardgr Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Make the 'tail' of the H carry through the cross instead of coming off the top. This will create symmetry with the G in Big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eye Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Most of my thoughts have been echoed in previous posts, maybe look into changing the colors, italicize compass/star... Lookin' good though, illwauk, I hope you do some other ficticious leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 As far as the lack of color... I would imagine the color being changed to suit the needs of each particular team (it was on a Georgetown program, for example, it would be navy & grey). But I probably should choose a "default" color, regardless.And since this was received so well, I'll probably take a crack at some of the other conferences created by this hypothetical shake up.Big Sun ConferenceDesert Southwest ConferenceGulf Coast ConferenceGreat Midwest Conference (I know this was a real league for a few years, but I liked the name so I brought it back)Pan-Atlantic Conference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Nothing in the logo says "North" to me. You have big pointed serifs going left and right, which to me would signify east and west. Add the compass star, and it's somewhat confusing. You shoulddo something to emphasize "North", even if it's one single arrow shape pointing upwards. Why not connect the right stem of the N to the I, and make it one big arrow?One you really emphasize the symbol of "North", then you can go in an add little flourishes or serifs to make it less ordinary looking.

illwauk Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 I italicized the compass rose, added color and added the logos of the schools that would play in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
