ZionEagle Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I had really wanted to come up with a griffin logo for a long time, and finally got around to making one. I'm thinking of posting football jerseys later if I get around to it Thoughts?

NoE38_Concepts Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Good job! IMO it would work better if the color scheme that like that of a real griffin. Still, It looks really good. EDIT: A 'Real' Griffin. *facepalm* @noe38concepts (Instagram - Twitter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suplauren Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Your lines seem a little shaky. What program are you using? 35 minutes ago, NoE38 said: Good job!

Yeah, just like all those REAL griffins we have scampering around But I agree, I think The colors are too soft for a logo that's quite aggressive. It'd also be nice to have a full-body mark to really emphasize that this is a griffin. laurenlogos.tumblr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZionEagle Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks for the feedback guys. Greatly appreciated. Your lines seem a little shaky. What program are you using? PowerPoint, and before you say anything, I can't afford Illustrator, and I don't like Inkscape. Sometimes my lines are a little wonky to begin with, if I go over the logo a few more times I think it will work better But I agree, I think The colors are too soft for a logo that's quite aggressive. Yeah I agree. I just wanted something that was differently colored than most other griffin logos, but I wanted to use a bluish color scheme. If you have better colors in mind, I'd love to hear what might work better. It'd also be nice to have a full-body mark to really emphasize that this is a griffin. I could definitely try that. I'd rather that be something similar to a secondary though, the head would work better on a the helmet I have. IMO it would work better if the color scheme that like that of a real griffin. I couldn't help lolling at this Thanks for the nice comment though! "Winners never quit, and quitters never win." ~Vince Lombardi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 There's a prep school from Glendale, Arizona called the Grffins. Is this just a weird coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZionEagle Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Coincidence. I didn't know that there was a school there I originally wanted to use Grand Rapids as a city, but they already had the Griffins.

ZionEagle Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 I guess I'll have to look for another good city name then. I should of guessed a good name like Glendale already had a griffin team.

There are always a name Sorry I think you guys misunderstood me, I love the city name and team name I was just wondering if this was designed for them! Don't feel obliged to change it by any means, I just played that team in high school so it was just funny. Looks great though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZionEagle Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Thanks for your thoughts again. Sorry I think you guys misunderstood me, I love the city name and team name I was just wondering if this was designed for them! Don't feel obliged to change it by any means, I just played that team in high school so it was just funny. Looks great though! Nah, it was my fault No problem. Fantastic logo, congrats! Glad you like it. You made that logo on POWERPOINT??? Wow, now that's impressive. Haha...not really. It's more versatile than most people think. It just takes practice, like any other program Thanks though. (If anyone's interested though, I have a tutorial I made that I could PM to people if they want to learn more.) I think the eye needs a pupil. just my two cents Well, I already tried a few pupils, and didn't really think that they went with the look. Thanks for the suggestion though! I think this would look great in a red and copper combo. Maybe add a cream for highlights. That would also be a nice color combo if you did want to make this apply to the prep school in Arizona. I'm not planning on associating it with the school, but I might give the colors a try I should have something new later tonight.

ZionEagle Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 So I won't be able to post the full bodied griffin tonight because I'm still working it all out...buuut, I have smoothed out the old logo and tried different colors. Old: New (With same colors) New (With two different reds) I don't know if I'm really happy with those colors. Any suggestions? Full bodied griffin coming soon.

suplauren Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 What would it look like if you kept the dark dark red outline but changed the gold to the lighter red and the cream to gold? laurenlogos.tumblr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyTopper Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 It's definitely stepping up in quality as you've given it more aggressive colors and cleaned up the lines a tad! This is a bigger picture idea you might wanna try down the road, but perhaps you can explore the idea of a full-body alternate logo of some kind? Griffins have some of the coolest bodies in all of mythology so I bet it would make for some cool stuff. ☦ICXC NIKA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
