hettinger_rl Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 As I was working on my Water Wolves Hockey concept the thought of the Minnesota Fighting Pike AFL team popped up and I realized how many issues I had with their logo. Firstly, it doesn't necessarily depict a pike, more of a walleye (which in some circles is nicknamed the walleyed pike, i guess). Second, so many little lines. And finally, colors placed all over to depict scales, but it comes off almost camo. So I decided that I would try my hand at altering to logo and re-working it. Please post your questions and C&C, I can feel that there are some things left to do. Here is what I came up with:Old: And mine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHcreative Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Very solid upgrade to a rather beat up looking logo. The only thing that I would suggest is perhaps incorporating some of that beautiful emerald-green color seen on the helmet, I think that would really make the logo pop.

sportsherald Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Yes, but it does look more like a walleye. Use the rules of heraldry for more effective sports logos! i.e. keep it simple, use good contrast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Really nice. I wonder if it could use a little more black for accent on the body. Maybe vertically in a curve next to the white? cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But changing colors and flipping it could work: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updates based on feedback: As far as the black line, what you did actually helped with consistency, but actually I meant like a thicker black vertical line and it could taper towards the bottom. This could give it shading and depth. But no one is complaining about how it looks now, though. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
