Go Red Sox! Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I find the current Idaho State Bengals logo very outdated (it's from 1997), so I decided to give the Bengal tiger a new look. I was a little tired of the stereotype roaring tiger – the consequence was to create a tiger that looks rather majestic than menacing. And, let's be honest, a tiger doesn't need to growl or roar to be awe-inspiring. The color scheme stays untouched: Black, orange, white and gold as a very sparse accent color. Merry Christmas to all of you...

jrcollis714 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 What you did here is so cool. The lion looks so much better, and I really like the alternates too. Great work on this.

timberwolf Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 IMO, it's perfect. The tiger, to me, gives off a wise, battle-worn, veteran vibe and I'm liking that a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Very nice, but I'm getting a whole Georgia State vibe from this. See what I mean by looking at all the logos released in 2014.http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/689/Georgia_State_Panthers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, GS is a panther and IS is a tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baylorfan Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 You did a great job of taking their current identity and simplifying it. The only thing I'm not sold on is the state logo. It just looks like it doesn't bode well with the others. My suggestion would be to remove the claw mark and replace the current copy with one of your word marks. Also try making the state orange with a bold, black outline. Other than that, it is definitely a huge upgrade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Top Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 This looks great, I'd like to see some uniforms to go along with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSmith48 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I have two suggestions for you. First, the nose area looks empty, maybe extend the forehead stripe a bit further down the nose. Also, maybe you could try a profile view of the head or a full body view of the tiger as a secondary logo. As for the texts, I think that the ISU ones could look cool with a claw mark on them, like what you did for the State logo. Overall, I think you have a great start, it just needs some refinement.

Tygers09 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I like the current, aggressive look on the tiger's head logo. While you did a excellent job on the word script, the paw print, and the state logo w/scratch marks; the tiger head one makes the cat look mundane, no emotion compared to the current one the university uses.

WavePunter Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 The only change I'd make is to simplify the scratches on the state logo.. Similar to the scratches on their current wordmark, to blend better with your simplified identity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gone back and forth, because you do note that I tiger doesn't need to look aggressive to look good, and I do agree with you. But when Tygers used the word "mundane," it resonated with me. He looks very placid instead of regal. Maybe it is the roundness of the face...I'm not sure...but there is something that makes it look placid and maybe mundane or uninterested.

suplauren Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I agree with what others have said. The current logo is a bit too busy, but at least it's distinct. Not many other tiger logos (or even logos in general) have the same style as Idaho State. Your render is good, but it's also generic. I think it could use some of the jagged lines from the old one to make it more interesting. laurenlogos.tumblr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
