LuberaDesign Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 So this is something I have wanted to do for a long time, and I have finally decided to jump in head first. I will be updating as I create each mark. I will focus on the logo/ mascots first, and then integrate text when all of the marks are completed. (Except for those marks that may include the text into the mark.)I'm definitely looking for any feedback or comments. I will add that I'm not particularly trying to sustain the old 'timeless' conventions or historical points of each team. I just want to make each mark visually appealing in a way that I imagine would aesthetically make the NFL look more sleek and professional as a whole. I just want to make this a great looking series of marks for my own and others enjoyment!So, I will update the title with the team I am working on at the time. To begin, seemingly at random, here is my concept for the Baltimore Ravens. Please disregard all text, it's just thrown in there for continuity and will be reworked later.I am in a conflict with myself over color, so I'd really love any feedback on which looks better, or other suggestions. Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FALCON6 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Yes! Finally a Ravens logo that looks like a raven. Well stylized and the expression of the raven is good. Font is also a big improvement and I would go with one of the two bottom logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmiller5 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I would tone down the jagged edges and remove some completely. Ravens are fairly sleek birds. And I would go with one of the black birds, because ravens are...black. I like the black with purple accents the best, but it might not provide enough contrast when viewed from a distance.

MJWalker45 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Bottom right is the best one. It'll stand out on a black helmet. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackerFan98 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I like the top right. I'd be interested to see a uniform set with that log and colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hettinger_rl Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I really like the idea of this. A couple of thoughts though; the bottom "lip" of the beak seems to be curved a bit too far down and the "feather point" on the far left could be lifted some.

LuberaDesign Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thanks for the feedback! hettinger / davidmiller: I agree, I'm going to tweak those and round off some of the 'gullet' feathers and make it overall a little less 'spikey'. I will pull up the beak a bit.As for color, so far votes are mixed, and I still haven't decided. I am convinced that the mark is pretty pleasing, but not sure about where to go, color wise. Here's a greyscale helmet idea, very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hell, go with a chrome purple facemask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuberaDesign Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Alright, so I'm going to call the Raven mark acceptable and figure out colors when the finalizing stage takes place. So moving on, here is my concept for the Tennessee Titans. I tried to retain the symbols and flow of the original logo, but make a more fierce and challenging mark. The infamous 'flaming thumbtack' logo just has nothing intimidating or exciting about it. I also wish they would change their bland color scheme, so I included a gold version, as well as the classic powder blue. Comments? Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidmiller5 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I really like the Titans logo. Great job. I prefer the gold version. What about a silver version? It might not be enough contrast, but the NFL doesn't have a silver and red team. The 49ers are red and gold (but you did add in navy, so it would be a different color scheme).I'm disappointed you are moving on from the Ravens. I think it is close to being good, but isn't quite there yet. Again, I would suggest smoothing out some of the points to more closely match the sleekness of an actual raven.

Hahah. But I do plan on tweaking the curves like you suggest. I do completely agree. Also, I'm breaking into my design stride for this series, and sometimes it takes a couple of designs for the style of a series to come together. These two logos are already designed with very different stylings, but I prefer where I'm going with the Titans moreso, so I may go back and try to tweak the raven into a similar style.

LuberaDesign Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 I really like the gold in the logo itself, it is certainly more regal. But as far as fitting, the Niners and Bucs both use the red/gold combo, whereas the Titans have a very recognizable scheme. I've made the light blue more 'silvery', in the greyer end of the spectrum, and I like it as-is now. I'm back to tweaking the Ravens, but I think I'm going to call the Titans a finished product as of now. I'll post it here now. I'm also going to update the original post with an image of the teams I have finished. Again, requests on which teams to cover next would be awesome!

ren69 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 First of all...awesome looking logos, you've got some serious skills there! Now, being from Texas I'd say why not tackle either the Cowboys or the Texans. Good luck with the remaining teams, looking forward to seeing how they all turn out! https://www.behance.net/Ren1969 https://twitter.com/Ren1969_Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I wish the Titans would buy that logo from you immediately. That is beautiful! "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuberaDesign Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Thanks! I also just tried it on a helmet, which I think looks pretty cool. Ren: I haven't given the cowboys the due amount of thought, but I think I might try them next. Sounds like a challenge. (After finalizing a better Ravens mark, of course.) Thanks!

eliasrappaport Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Amazing, amazing work. That Titans logo and helmet is magnificent. It deserves a whole rebrand project (uniforms, merch, alt logos, etc). As far as another team, I suggest the Eagles. I've never seen anyone make a logo for them better than what they have now. Their current logo to me, is the epitome of a modern, beautiful, bird logo. I bet you could do one just as good. I'd love to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
