n312rb Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 What about red/teal/navy? I get why people don't like red/teal/black but really it doesn't look like any other red/black team, it stands on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Agreed! You place that jersey alongside any other grouping of jerseys, even red jerseys, and it stands out because of the teal. The overall look doesn't come across as red. The teal really gives it a mystical, coral-ish, underwater feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 11 teams are a third of the NHL, why add another when theirs only two green teams and green suits Seattle. Atleast make it teal.

The black hem and extended cuffs make it too Hurricane-esque to be successful. Better in a vacuum, perhaps, but the original would let them hold their own in the NHL landscape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldconcepts Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 All right, here's where I'm at. I haven't fully ruled out the original, but I replaced black with a dark blue. I tried changing up the colours to a rust, dark teal and charcoal. I still like the option of double green with a red eye, a more distinct Seattle colour scheme. What do you think? C&C Appreciated!

Guest darkpiranha Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 A is still the winner for me. B starts to give off a Devils feel. C is fine, but everything is typical and expected. "Seattle with shades of lime and green? Didn't see THAT coming..." I say stick with your original instinct with tea and red and dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_DietDrPepper_ Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 That. That’s much better.

Guest darkpiranha Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Of the four above, I like 1(upper left) and 3(lower left), although 3 may be a bit too dull and desaturated. For your mostly-teal one above, I could get behind this one. I'd be curious to see what it looks like with the red extending up the sleeves, cutting off at the yoke. I feel that would help echo the effect of the "Eye of the Kracken" in the logo and further differentiate it from red teams and shark teams.

ldconcepts Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 I'm putting off the colour selection for a bit to fix an unfortunate comparison that can be made to, well... ... Thanks, Internet. So, I tried to make the eye more eye-like. The new one is still a work in progress. What do you think? C&C Appreciated!

Guest darkpiranha Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Is the white dot supposed to be a light reflection? If so, it's not working. You'd need to take the tower out and it to be a fully-recognizable eye for that to come across like you're intending. I know you're going for a nice symmetrical circle/eye, but what if you had some tentacles continuing outside of the circle in a couple of places? Another option is to move the Needle behind the eye entirely, and reduce the size of the eye about 30% so that the tower can rise above the eye (where we can see a little bit of the tower part.

I think this logo is dependent on the Needle in the foreground, so I don't think that would work. 7 minutes ago, darkpiranha said: I know you're going for a nice symmetrical circle/eye, but what if you had some tentacles continuing outside of the circle in a couple of places? I'm not exactly sure what you mean by circle. Do you mean inside the eye, or making the ends of the tentacles visible?

Guest darkpiranha Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Making the ends of the tentacles visible. Here's a rough example of what I was talking about with moving the Needle behind the eye. https://s684.photobucket.com/user/VicDiGital/media/kracken idea_zpsh2uwwy9x.png.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldconcepts Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 With the colour scheme basically set in stone, all signs point to Sockeyes. So I decided to revive this thread, starting with a rough sketch for the Sockeye name. Before I finish the design, C&C is appreciated on the sketch!

~Bear Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I like it so far. I might darken the red a shade or two because right now the logo is fairly bright, but the design itself is well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally, I'd agree with you, but the colours are taken directly from nhl.com/seattle.
