mcrosby Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I wanted to try something new for BC, and when I think Pacific Northwest I think sea lion before mountain lion. This logo is in very, very early stages and your C&C is what it needs. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Looks more like a gibbon. But I like the idea to focus on sea lions in place of mountain lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCraeWilliamsProductions Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Bottom jaw looks like a line, should be more stream line to the face opposed to just sticking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wgeddes122 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Looks more like a gibbon. But I like the idea to focus on sea lions in place of mountain lions.I don't know how u get gibbon from that.I like the design, I do agree u could maybe do more to make look like a sea lion, and maybe angle it down, the angle of the lion is conflicting with the angle of the letters. I really like to see where this goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsburghRU679 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I like the out of box thinking but it looks a bit like Oregon State Beavers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardedFool Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The right-facing orange shape looks gibbon-ish if you interpret it as left-facing. Could you have the black section be a lion lion outline and have the orange section double as the inner portion of the lion lion AND a left-facing sea lion (or vice versa)?Would the addition of the smallest amount of some lighter shade of blue/aqua help to tie in the aquatic theme of a sea lion?Also, the "B" looks very Baltimore Ravensy.

BigRed618 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Like Pittsburgh said, I'm getting a serious Oregon State vibe from this. Good start on this logo. Maybe do something about the lower jaw. It's looking awfully thin to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsherald Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 While interpreting "Lions" as sea lions makes some sense in the Pacific Northwest, this team was explicitly named for "The Lions," twin mountain peaks visible from Vancouver (also referred to in naming the Lions Gate Bridge). They are the snow-capped peaks on the left side of this image. So, mountain lions is a very strongly entrenched interpretation for this team.All that said, I like your concept, which could still be adapted with only slight changes to be a mountain lion (cougar). Use the rules of heraldry for more effective sports logos! i.e. keep it simple, use good contrast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1insaneguy Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 sea lions are rounder. I would also make it wider but do keep the whiskers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrcollis714 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I like the out of box thinking but it looks a bit like Oregon State Beavers.Totally summed it up. Also not very clear what it is.

jaha32 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Looks more like a gibbon. But I like the idea to focus on sea lions in place of mountain lions.I'm getting a baboon-with-whiskers vibe from this, but gibbon/baboon, either way the features need a little fine tuning to make it unmistakably a sea lion. The top right corner of the C gets kind of lost in the jaw as well. But despite all this, it looks good style-wise. I like the motion and energy it has, compared to the actual BC Lions logo which is very stagnant.

MJWalker45 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'd round out the lower jaw and build up the chin. He looks more like a monkey to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
