Alaska Anchorage Seawolves Concept: Sun Added 1/17/18

UAA has used the same classic, tribal art influenced, logo since 1973 (REF). As stated, the logo is classic; but I was wondering - What if UAA would update their look? What would a Seawolf look like if it were modernized? What is the basis for the Seawolves name?

In Haida and Tlingit culture; a seawolf is an enormous creature that preys upon pilot and killer whales. It as four legs with fins, a head similar to a wolf, and a tail like a fish or a whale or sometimes a prehensile tail. (This is not a wolf with an eye patch ;)) Before becoming the Seawolves, UAA's nickname was the Sourdoughs in reference to old sailors..... good upgrade. After researching historic and contemporary Haida and Tlingit depictions of seawolves I got to drawing out what a new Seawolves logo might look like, so here is my concept logo for the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves:

Personally, I think that the sketch you put in your last post is better than the finished product. The first one is a little bit too busy but your sketch holds the necessary upgrades to the original without going into confusing detail.

Could you elaborate? :)

Dammit, I should probably pay more attention to what I’m writing. I love the sketch, it is exactly what I think would look better, sorry I was kinda rushed and typed it on my phone lol

I'll develop this more next week, but here's my next step:

It’s the perspective. Pacific Native American art is always at that 90 degree angle, if you catch my drift, and yours is kinda at a 45 degrree angle. If it were like the sketch where it’s a flat kind of view, it would be perfect.

Yeah, I was trying to take it into another view point, to make it feel more like a real creature.

That would be gorgeous if it were all colored in and polished up.
