ZionEagle Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Well, I'm back to logo working after a long dry spell. I decided I wanted to take a crack at the Elmira Jackals logo, mainly because I feel the current one, although good in design, looks more like a wolf and less like a jackal. This was my first attempt, but I didn't like a few things, so I changed it a bit, reworking edges etc. First attempt: I also felt it was lacking aggressiveness, so I tried to work that into the second try. Second Attempt: I also made a alternate logo, but I'm not a huge fan of it. Here is the logo,alt, wordmark together. And I also did a jersey just for fun, even though it sucks, so I could see the logo on a jersey. Feel free to fire pointers and criticism.

C-Squared Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'll try to get nitpicky since you're clearly a talented designer and this is fantastic overall... I think the red around the mouth should meet somewhere in the middle of logo #1 and #2. I like that there's more direction/definition in #2, but I also like the simplicity in #1. The best of both worlds might be reducing the total number of spikes out from 10 to maybe 4-6... I would also smoothen out and maybe even reduce the dip in the dark blue section that wraps around the eye, it looses a bit of its sharpness/pop as it drifts downward. Again, a fantastic job overall, and I really like the way the red pops with this color scheme. My TeePublic Shop My Instagram Art Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZionEagle Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Thanks for the feedback C-Squared. Is this any better? Suggestions appreciated. "Winners never quit, and quitters never win." ~Vince Lombardi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 At first glance it looks good, but then after a second it becomes clear that the line work is very rigid, and the red on the snout seems to be randomly splashed around with no rhyme or reason. If you smoothen up the lines and cleaned up the red, this would make a very nice logo. DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLeNt WaVe Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I do see the doggish features so don't take it the wrong way when I say...it reminds me of a bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
