Okay guys... So, I have the 8 team concept logos roughed out in colour comps... Next step...is to tweak them, simplify them, clean 'em up and create the final vector art. -

I went super-gaudy with this one, and tried a 1930-ish cartoon style... (Gotta tweak this one and make the faces look more like kids' faces when I do the final art). -

Well... you learn something new every day. I've probably seen the "Wizard" a dozen times, and I always thought that these guys were repping the "Lollipop KIDS"... Apparently not... They're the Lollipop GUILD...But who says "guild" anymore? So I'm sticking with... The Lollipop Kids... Who were these guys anyway?...a Munchkin street gang?...moppets from the orphanage?...Canadiens fans?... Whatever...They had a unique look...diagonal plaid shirts...striped socks...weird hair... -

I tweaked the "Wizards" uni...made it a little more artdeco-ish... ...Up Next..."We Represent the Lollipop Guild" -

Thanks @chestnutz...just about got the coloured roughs completed...then onto the final vector logos & uniforms. Wizards... The WofO movie had a strong artdeco influence, espescially in the design of the city itself... and in the lair of the Wizard... I thought I'd try to capture an artdeco feel in the striping and numbers... -

Flyers... I'll admit...The Flying Monkeys used to creep me out as a kid... Winged, blue-tinged simians decked out in some of of gaudy Bell-Boy outfit? They shredded Scarecrow and stole Toto. But, they may have inspired a team in an upcoming drafttournament.com event. Rough colour Logo... Uniform concept... -

I'm gonna use @Blindsay's suggestion and refer to the Wicked Witch of the West's team as... The Wickeds... 3 W's in "Wicked Witch of the West"...so I've paired up a 3-outline "W" with a green-faced witch riding a hockey stick... I also roughed up a secondary idea based on the rather intense "burning broom" scene... ...and the uniforms... -

Hey Section 30...Great stuff! I'm lovin'the Flamingos! As an old lacrosse player, it's nice to see the game being repped! -
Great idea!...Looks good!... I like the stirrup hockey socks.

Thanks john... I'm going to use the Johnny Canuck-ish Woodsman logo as a secondary, maybe up on the shoulders... Lions... The Cowardly Lion's (CL) story in the movie was about finding his courage. In fact, at the end, the CL receives a medal from the Wizard for his bravery... I roughed up a primary logo based on that medal... And thought it'd be kinda fun to have it looking like it was actually hanging on the CL's body. The tail hanging out on the pants, from under the sweater should work OK... (as long as the player doesn't wear the pants backwards)... -

Tinmen... Initially, I was thinking of doing an Ozian take on the NHL's Woodsman, Johnny Canuck... But...I wanted to rep the goalies in at least 1 logo/uni...so I figured a metal-clad figure would be the perfect choice. ( I still might use the JC Tinman as a secondary)... Rough sketch... Colour rough... Colour Uni Rough... -

Team Dorothy... There's a scene in the movie where, after a hit to the head, Dorothy imagines herself caught up in a twister. Cows, chickens, etc. swirl by in a tornado of debris... Thought I would attempt to capture the scene in a logo and uniform... -

Scarecrows I was considering a scary, psycho slant to the character... However, the whole Scarecrow schtick is that of a likeable sort who is less scary than the crows he should be scaring... So... for the logo, I'll keep the crossed hockey sticks with the crows...use a more friendly Scarecrow, and put him on a plaid & denim uni w/suspenders... -

Thank you, Silence...Hardly the case, but much appreciated. Thanks Blindsay...great ideas!...diggin' "The Wicked"! Okay guys...Let's get on down the yellow brick road. I want to develop these through the various stages, from rough sketches, to colour roughs to vector finals. The uniforms are completely sublimated and style will be more "illustrative" than traditional hockey design. So here we go... -

For starters, I took a shot at designing an event logo that would appear on each uniform. I intertwined the "O" & "Z" (I know...it's been done before), added a hockey stick and a few stars, and will add the tourny location when that location is decided. Here it is in the various team colours...
