DTConcepts Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 As much as I want to like the Sockeyes, I just can't imagine that being used in the NHL. As good of a concept as it is, I can really only see it as that - a concept. I'd throw my hat in for the Sea Lions. There's just something about that logo that I love. Mets are a close second. As always, freaking amazing work, Sparky! "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnclearInitial Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 That Sockeye concept is just gorgeous. Great colors and logos, the only thing that I didn't get was the captain C patch. Love that SockEye logo, wouldn't mind putting it as a shoulder patch, it wouldn't be too dissimilar to the silly Blue Jackets stinger logo (and it would make a ton more sense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section30 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I absolutely love the Sockeyes, just wondering, what would it look like if the shade of red was lightened a little to be closer to what you're basing it off of?

Pulv! Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 All your logos are amazing but the Totems and the Sea lions are even more outstanding than the others! Probabily a good deal are the flashy color schemes... My Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRC4 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 One of the best parts about your logos is that they don't necessarily look like the same person designed each one. There are some threads on here where I feel like I can tell exactly who designed it because of similarities across a bunch of the logos. Fantastic work on these. The Seal and Sockeye logos are my favorites of the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the color combination and uniforms, but something about the primary logo isn't doing anything for me. Not the Native American/tribal motif, buy the way the fish in a complete circular motion.

Dan O'Mac Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 These are all great. Sockeyes is my favorite. Unique scheme, great logo. The only thing we're missing now is the Battle of Seattle Hockey Cods. I like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Dan...you're the man! ...And you are 100% right...these all need to be cod'd The Seattle Kraken I left this to the last, because I pretty much have it done (I did a Kraken concept about 5 years ago). So, I'm playing catch-up with the other 8 concepts. For starters, we should decide on the proper pronunciation of "Kraken"... Of the 3 options...(cray-kin...crack-in...crock-in), I think that "cray-kin" sounds the cleanest, (least guttural) and with "cray-kin", you may avoid a lot of the butt-crack, crack-head references (although you're gonna get those from the haters anyway)....also, "cray-kin" rhymes with Awaken, Shakin', Quakin', and bacon. (Anything that rhymes with "bacon", can't be bad, eh?)... So on any word mark, I put the long-vowel-slash over the "A"... *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Man, all of these are phenomenal. While Steelhead/Rainbow trout are the state fish of Washington,I find it's becoming overused in hockey with Mississauga and Idaho. That being said, Sockeyes almost has a double entendre with getting "socked" in the eye during a hockey fight. I love it. I've been a huge fan of Sea Lions since you did a concept waaay back and this one only makes me more of a fan. As cool as the idea of Kraken is and as wicked as your identity is, I can't back it as a name. Same with Emeralds, but that freakin' frog man! Awesome. I gotta go: 1. Seattle Sea Lions 2. Seattle Sockeyes 3. Seattle Totems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreamingViking Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I'd say the best pure logo is the Totems-"S" Best uniform colours are the ones with a green primary. I would really think the OVG will go with green, and why not the Sonics old Green and Gold? Points for the Sawbucks (even though there's no way they risk messing with Starbucks on a similar name). Though the Sockeyes have a great logo, I just don't see that de-saturated ochre being either a great merchandise seller or a good look on TV. Maybe try the teal as a primary uni colour - though admittedly, you have the Sharks to the south - the ochre is a dynamite secondary/tertiary (see your Kraken concepts). Best overall unis are the Kraken, love the layout and striping.Also love the Dark green/lime contrast.Works for the Totems too. Whichever concept wins the BoS, I think you've created a great baseline for what OVG should be shooting for: Green, flora/fauna-themed, and contemporary.

Jake3roo Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Wow, I've been away for a bit but this is amazing. I think you nailed the emeralds but I think the primary should say "Seattle Emeralds" or something of the sort. "Emeralds City" seems like the sort of stuff that would go on merchandise. Sockeyes are perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldconcepts Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 You nailed the Kraken logo, but I don’t think the colour you used for the home uniform is needed at all (though it’s growing on me). Can we see what a lime green dark jersey looks like? Twitter: @ldconcepts / Instagram: @ld.concepts / Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
