NAHL Aberdeen Wings Rebrand

Recommended Posts

Using my VT Hokie Bird as a guide I drew up this hockey playing pheasant as an idea for the NAHL's Aberdeen Wings. Their colors are red, black, and white. I added in some extra colors though to make the pheasant more lively. Which looks better though? C&C appreciated.

I prefer the one with only red, black, and white. It takes the design from the "illustration" end and pushes it more toward "logo." (Though really, it's splitting hairs: both I feel are more detailed than a simple logo, but as this would ostensibly be a crest or a primary mark, the extra detail is OK. So I guess either way. Haha.)

Here are a couple color tweaks. In the first I replaced the orange with yellow, in the second I dropped the silver for bright red, darkened the main red, darkened the blue and used a light gold accent.

Sioux Falls pheasants were a reference:

Further tweaked to use just shades of the main colors:

Definitely the best of em so far, but I agree with the white in the tail, and I also liked the blue on the head. The colors on the pheasants head is one of the defining characteristics IMO. Looks fantastic though.

Here are a couple of new additions to the set. Because these are for the Aberdeen Wings I made an "A"/Wing combo and patterned it after a pheasant's wing and using a script styled "A". To that idea I added a pheasant body for the next addition. This one got a bit long but I think there could still be a use for it. Finally the team currently uses a winged "W" logo and I may try to use my wing shape and make another. Does anyone think that the silver highlights on the wing should be replaced with the lighter red used in the hockey stick logo? As always, C&C appreciated.

Man you keep making this better and better! The ones on the right, with the lighter red accents are way better IMO. Maybe make the white in the wing to silver to make it more coherent to the tail, but other than that this is fantastic. You should really send this to them.
