Morgan33 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The logos and word-marks are nicely rendered. I just wish you used a more distinctive colour scheme as the black and white is very similar to the L.A. Kings. Adding a third colour would be the perfect way to rectify this IMO.

BBallSuperFan Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I like the color scheme. (Morgo, he did use Gold as his 3rd colour) I also like how the logo isn't overally detailed, but more simplistic. The Air Force idea is a unique one, and would be a clever way to get people from Nevada to games. Hit up those owners now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Wow. You just never fail to impress. Gary Bettman, look here now. Along with that prospective owner. Great work.Nothing much to say other than these look sharp. I don't necessarily agree that you need a third color, I think black and white alone look great. If you did though the stroke around the secondary on the bike wouldn't be bad as a seldom used third color.I always enjoy your concepts in terms of thoughtfulness and presentation, looking at your graphics as well as reading your explanations is just as enjoyable as seeing the concepts you come up with and make this section of the boards way more fun than just clicking and looking a pictures. Thanks for sharing.That is an incredible design with what would be a unique color scheme. I hope the NHL is reading this.Amazing, you keep on making these amazing logos for any hockey team! Keep it up! Thank you guys. Much appreciated. I'm glad the logo's getting a "thumbs-up". Fifty8, I wanna go with B&W, but it IS close to what the L.A. Kings have.Love that wordmark. I'm imagining now that the wordmark could be on the jersey's crest and the logo would be on the shoulders, but it's up to you, really. It's your concept after all.Stay tuned Big Red...I've got an alt concept coming up that I think you'll like.Two things, it looks beautiful, and it "might" need a color. Just so that it won't get confused with the Kings. It'd also be cool to see the team get the score bug treatment from each broadcasting group.I'm going to "show" several colour combos as well as the B&W. Thanks mm.I think the identity needs much more color to work as a vegas team. Logo is outstanding though!EDIT: I recommend a bright yellow because the color keeps the identity in its current great look, represents Vegas well, and would be unique in the NHL. (I was thinking a color similar to the Nike color Yellow Strike or the Las Vegas logo I made for my indoor soccer series in my signature)Hi jaker...of course "Vegas Gold" would be an ideal choice, but Pittsburgh is using that colour.I'm not sure about yellow, because of its inclusion in the Boston, Nashville9 colour schemes (and now Pittsburgh with their alts).I am going to try a darker yellow-gold.Sexy logo and word mark. I agree with the others, maybe some color? Even just some piping or outlining? Beautiful and totally realistic though!Thanks BK. Colours coming up....The logos and word-marks are nicely rendered. I just wish you used a more distinctive colour scheme as the black and white is very similar to the L.A. Kings. Adding a third colour would be the perfect way to rectify this IMO.You're right Morgo...black, white and something else, if black and white is too similar to the Kings.Thanks for the feedback. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Colours and UniformsWith the logos completed, we can tackle the colour-scheme issue.I was totally going down the B&W path after seeing this commercial...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXE_p_1SqugBecause of its contrast B&W really pops!However, even though the L.A. Kings are technically black, white and silver, they pretty much look B&W, and geographically would be one of the closer teams to Vegas.What do you think? Too similiar?.... *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBallSuperFan Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Way too similar. I'd love to see some gold trim like you put on the bike when doing the promo stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Team Colours and Uniforms cont'd...I wanted a simple, unique pattern to the unis.As far as I know no team is using the shoulder stripes.NHL standard (on the arms) seems to be -shoulder patch- numbers- and then stripes below the numbers.I wanted the striping to reflect the striping within the logo, and I wanted a curvy seam somewhere to tie in with the rounded "Ace" shape.I made up with this template... *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 For colours, I'm going to try out several options... but for starters, I thought I'd try- Black, Dark Gold and White- Black, Grey-Blue and White- Black, Brown and White- and also throw in a B&W for comparison... *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-mer Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I actually like the black, but the Gray-blue is definitely the way to go. Awesome look. Maybe keep the black as an alternate. The gold looks nice too, but I like the blue a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 The grey-blue works well for the military-jet theme, but the dark gold feels more Las Vegas. You probably can't go wrong either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-mer Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I love how the Aces mark looks on the motorcycle with gold as an outlining color added to the grey/black/white scheme. Even if it was just that, outlining the logo and maybe in the numbers as well. A minimalist touch would make it stand out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamo Moscow Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 This might be a bit out of the blue, but I think a jersey with blue shoulders, and a red chest might look pretty intresting and maybe throw the main logo on the sleeves or shoulders. (I'm referencing the CSKA Moscow jersey that was in the late 70's or so, look up Valeri Kharlamov and look at the picture on Wikipedia that has him in his CSKA Moscow jersey)NHL needs more colour! I think more colours may actually be the way of the future, judging by current fashion trends.Keep in mind, I'm not attempting to intrude on your design in any way! Just throwing it against the wall! Favorite teams: Dynamo Moscow, Detroit Red Wings, Jokerit, Manchester United, Kitchener Rangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty8_Black O Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 As some have said the grey-blue fits well but I like the suggestion of trying olive green. That would be a unique scheme to the NHL and would be different enough from the kings without being too close to Dallas. I like the uniform a lot though, it does a good job of looking like the logo without trying too hard.Fake Edit:Every time I look at the brown option it grows on me. It's a sneaky good choice.
