29texan Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 2016 / Arizona 2017 / Tampa Bay 2018 / Atlanta 2019 / San Francisco Bay Area ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ORIGINAL POST My first post of 2016 will be something I've been thinking about for a while. Like the old Super Bowl logos, I wanted to make location-specific logos for the College Football Playoff National Championship games. I want to create a template (like the Final Four) where each logo features one constant item, but they all still have elements related to the city in which the game is being played. I've started with a rough draft for this year's game in Glendale. You can kinda see where I'm going with this. (p.s., if anyone knows any fonts that would work well with Arizona, let me know) Rough Draft: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H11K Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 While I like the idea, its really rough on the eyes. Maybe try simplfying the whole thing to 2-3 colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29texan Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 How about this?By the way, I wanted to give you an idea of what the "template" will be. - The CFP trophy logo will be in the center of some kind of image. - The image will of course be anything related to the location of the game. - The words "NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP" will be on top of the image and the location of the game will be at the bottom - Within the image will be the year of the game with "20 on the left of the CFP trophy logo and the rest of it on the right. - All text will have matching font.

H11K Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 what i was saying was with the entire logo in general just because of all the shapes involved, the least amount of colors the better IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I really really liked the original. Didn't seem too blinding to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29texan Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Ok, well I simplified the background to just two colors and reworked the text. But I'm still looking for a proper font. Something that says "Arizona"... Here's the 2nd draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanjf83 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Maybe make the CFP logo the zero in the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Maybe make the CFP logo the zero in the yearAnd go with Arizona State's numbers. That's something that could rotate with each host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrcollis714 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I actually like the first one the best out of them all. I think the colors work nicely, and I like the font better than the one used in the second draft. Favorites: Dallas Cowboys, New York Yankees, New York Rangers, New York Knicks, Cam Newton ND Irish Least Favorites: New York Giants, New York Mets, Washington Capitals, Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Eagles, OBJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29texan Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Maybe make the CFP logo the zero in the yearI thought about that, but I decided to make something on my own. I wanted to get as far away from what you see below as possible: You all really like the first image better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (Waves hand frantically) I know I do.The yellow double red and Teal look really arizona-y together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29texan Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Alright. I'll go with the first image and use ASU's font... See how that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (Waves hand frantically) I know I do.The yellow double red and Teal look really arizona-y togetherI'd put the numbers above it and add a background similar to how the NCAA has started to do with the Final Four.

I'm pretty sure they would if they actually decided to go this route instead of the cookie-cutter, non-logos they have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
