Jvelleu Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 So every couple years I like to redesign my alma mater's (Mamaroneck High School) athletic program, as a way to see my progression as a designer. Its a fun exercise and its something I'm passionate about having grown up playing on Tigers athletic teams from elementary school through high school.Here are the current logos:Here was my first attempt from a couple years ago:And finally here was my latest attempt:Full Project HEREUniform designs coming soon.

mgdmhl Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 You have definitely improved since a couple of years ago. I remember you posting your first high school concept back then and I thought that was good. But this concept is great. Personally, I think its too good of a rebrand for a high school. You should make this into a Savannah State logo (or another D1 school named the tigers with a crappy logo) and sent it to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H11K Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yea, agree with what was above. This re design is very good and professional looking. Almost too good for high school... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'm digging your first attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordyhazy Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I like but what is your tertiary logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThin Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I like but what is your tertiary logoI'm assuming that it is the top of this building:Really good job on these, especially the tiger. Awesome job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake3roo Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Great improvements, but the face is a little strange. Not sure how to fix though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concepts_SM Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I really like your first attempt. Your second is great too. Maybe merge the two by making the lion in the second concept look more like the lion in the first? I think it would be a home run look if you do that!

mattb6 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Any reason the school doesn't use these? So much better than what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martymcfry Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The current logos are outdated, yours are a big improvement. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The face might look a bit off because the halves are mirrored. In my opinion, a logo this good can go to great if you shade half the face. It gives the logo more depth and while looking more complex can simplify the pieces of the logo by adding more weight to the darker portions on one side. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB83 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 This is miles ahead of your school's current set. The only change I'd make is to open the tiger's mouth to make it a bit more intimidating. Nice font too btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jvelleu Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks all. For those who liked the first attempt, I think it came out OK but not great. The face was a little weird and a lot of the curves were really ugly.You have definitely improved since a couple of years ago. I remember you posting your first high school concept back then and I thought that was good. But this concept is great. Personally, I think its too good of a rebrand for a high school. You should make this into a Savannah State logo (or another D1 school named the tigers with a crappy logo) and sent it to them.Haha thanks, I guess having a design being too good for a school is the best criticism i can get.The face might look a bit off because the halves are mirrored. In my opinion, a logo this good can go to great if you shade half the face. It gives the logo more depth and while looking more complex can simplify the pieces of the logo by adding more weight to the darker portions on one side.I think ill give this a shot. To me the face looks fine on its own, but when paired with the full body it looks too symmetrical, maybe I could add shading to the body as well.This is miles ahead of your school's current set. The only change I'd make is to open the tiger's mouth to make it a bit more intimidating. Nice font too btw.I initially decided to not make the tiger look to angry like many tiger logos do, but maybe this could be a nice middle ground.

sportsherald Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Like many schools, yours seems to have plagiarised its current logo from a professional source- in this case, an Australian rugby team, the Wests Tigers. Your version is now indirectly related to it. Use the rules of heraldry for more effective sports logos! i.e. keep it simple, use good contrast...

JB83 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 It IS similar, but personally I believe there are enough differences to not be counted as plagiarism. Just my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaker52 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 That wouldn't be plagiarism IMO and would still be miles ahead anyone else. MUNCHEN LOWEN (WAFA) GULF SHORES OSPREYS (IBL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The face might look a bit off because the halves are mirrored. In my opinion, a logo this good can go to great if you shade half the face. It gives the logo more depth and while looking more complex can simplify the pieces of the logo by adding more weight to the darker portions on one side.This is more or less what I'd suggest for the face. It looks pretty solid as-is, but shading half of it would take it to the next level. Speaking of shading, I think the darker orange color could be even darker, or even just switched to black. It's not doing much currently, specifically on the "M" logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsherald Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 That wouldn't be plagiarism IMO and would still be miles ahead anyone else.To be clear, the only plagiarism I see is the school's use of its current logo. By following its format, there is only a small similarity to it in Jvelleu's work- the indirect relation I spoke of.Regarding the new design, with a closed mouth and rather full cheeks, I find the new tiger concept a little tame-looking.

I didn't even realize you were talking about the old logo. Yeah that's definitely a blatant rip off haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
