wquarton Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Thought i'd take a stab at the possible NASL team in chicago, the sting. hoping they don't use some sort of god-awful cartoon bee. Tried a few things, wanted to keep it simple and acknowledge the whole sting thing without being overly obvious. Anyways I seem to have hit a bit of a wall.

RBRND Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Well, I like the soft yellow and black that you chose but your crest feels so rigid with its current lines. The Shape is weir for a soccer team.And it's hard to read the name.Maybe you could add a crown on the top, you know, that would go with the idea of a bee queen. Just sayin', I don't know what that might give.If you keep that royalty/nobility focus, you could also add a ribbon, where could write the team's name.

1insaneguy Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 This looks more like it was made for a team in Maryland than a team in Chicago. I suggest dropping the red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenonDesigns Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I'd suggest switching the font because it makes the logo look bland and I'd agree with insaneguy with loosing the red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefoot Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I agree with the previous suggestions. I'd stick to yellow, white, and black. I suggest using "Chicago Sting" rather than "CS". I found a more soccer looking shaped design for idea inspiration (the top of this example is too Colorado Rapids, but the bottom is the right idea): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrcollis714 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Incorporate stripes into your design, and also drop the red. I think that this would represent the main focus, which is the bee, and ultimately make a better design in the long run.

wquarton Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 any better? Trying to keep the shape kinda boxy and going for a modern ish look. Also was hoping the sting could be implied.. tryin' to keep er classy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1insaneguy Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I understand what you're trying to do, but it looks kinda like the speech bubble cartoonists use. I think it would look better if you did something like Whitefoot suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wquarton Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 ahh that is kinda true. back to the drawing board I guess. Do you think it's possible to do it still somewhat boxy without having that effect, or do you guys think it needs to be smooth? I don't know why but I'm hung up on this.I just find the one whitefoot put up makes me think minor league. and I guess I'm a bit of a eurosnob so I was hoping to downplay the sting part a little, while not ignoring it completely.
