hettinger_rl Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I've had this image in my head of a Sockeye Salmon swimming through an S for awhile now. Thought I'd get it hammerd out to make it a realization. Needs some help though so give some C&C please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 The fish overlapping the second T is a problem. I'd drop the text from inside the S for the primary and do an alternate without the fish so you can read it all.I know the text is the way the Metropolitans did it, but it's really difficult to read in that right to left, tilted letters arrangement.

1clkgtramg Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Definitely needs a clean up. It seems the sockeye is too real looking. If it's more aggressive and detailed with the use of shading, it could come along nicely. I would first focus on less of the in-your-face red and make the whole thing green to start off, then slowly incorporate the red so it doesn't look like you filled in a fish with team colours.There is potential here though.

Totems!! Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Nice work and definitely looks better without the wordmark in the main logo, keep the Seattle S as a secondary. Also a big fan of Sockeyes as one of the better options for a future NHL team here but not a fan of the green and red color scheme. Yes Sockeyes are green and red and the logo looks good in those colors just personal preference I suppose. On a side note I see you're from Aberdeen, I grew up in a little town just south of there that has the Pheasants as the local h.s. mascot. Nice to see another member doing good work on here from the homeland, keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hettinger_rl Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Ok, I've decided to work out the fish first, then circle back and pair it with the S again.Nice work and definitely looks better without the wordmark in the main logo, keep the Seattle S as a secondary.

CanucksBrad Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I like the call back to the now defunct Victoria Salmon Kings, whether intentional or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hettinger_rl Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Ok, I've decided to work out the fish first, then circle back and pair it with the S again.I was playing around with the Seahawks colors because I like the idea of "city team colors," but also think the classic Green and Yellow of the Sonics would be great. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamiller99 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'd like to see this in both Supersonics and Metropolitans colors. That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totems!! Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 You know the green and blue sockeye looks real nice. Actually better than I was picturing in my mind. This might be the right direction to go since I think the green and yellow should be reserved for the Sonics and blue and green is unofficially becoming Seattle's sport color.

hettinger_rl Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Ok, here are some color options:1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerFan98 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I like the uniqueness of number 3. Second choice would be 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OchentaYOcho88 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I love #2. Vancouver Grizzlies colors were always some of the best in the NBA. But, the best is #5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG30 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Personally a fan of #1...had an idea of maybe using yellow AND navy? I really like the idea of city colors too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macalesterscots Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 1 and 4 don't really scream "sockeye" to me, so I don't think I would go with either of those. They're more tied to the city than they are the name. While 2 looks really good, it's hard for me to see that color scheme and not think Vancouver Grizzlies. The other two are much more unique so I would love to see a concept with those if only for the sake of seeing something new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I rather like the Haida-influenced #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totems!! Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm liking #4 and #2 with the blue and green being my first choice. The fish seems to get lost amongst the colors in the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
