mcrosby Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I've hit some creative blocks near the end of my MLS rebrands and have decided to take that creative block as an opportunity to go North. The CPL recently released their 'Original 7' clubs as well as league logo. For the most part, the branding was done very well, but I've always thought that leaving things untouched is boring. Here's the league as it stands, as well as 9 expansion clubs to form a 16 club team. The first expansion club: Québec.

sky1324 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I feel like the lines of Hamilton are a little heavy, but other than that, this is excellent. One question though: could you explain the meaning behind Quebec's name? the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Let's pretend the CPL is wildly successful and the MLS is willing to sell their 3 Canuck clubs so that other American cities can get MLS teams.

BigRed618 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I’m loving all of these, especially Edmonton. Lagomorphs are not well-represented in sports, so they should really embrace that imagery. Montreal is hard to get right in concepts, methinks. You want to have something traditional and classy, but at the same time you want something edgy and dynamic to fit the "Impact" name. Seems no one can decide how they’re supposed to look.

appleclock Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Love the work so far. Not sure about the snowy owl/fleur de lise—should be a way to incorporate the wings a little better, whether it’s negative space or part of the flower. Right now it’s not super clear. Also, I’d call it “FC Vieux Québec.” The name you chose is grammatically incorrect and not really a common way of referring to Old Quebec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Another expansion club, and we're going about as far East as possible. St. Johns Town FC: https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoE38_Concepts Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Not a bad start for St. John's. I would have all the jellybean houses follow one slant instead of being randomly placed, because of all the hills in the city. @noe38concepts (Instagram - Twitter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I'm not sure if it's the effects, but that logo seems drab for what you're going for. I think it could look something like the Oakland Roots if you tune up the saturation and make it white @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 I'm not sure about this one yet, tried to go outside of my comfort zone somewhat. Regina Royal SC: And the map so far https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtgco Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 After doing my CPL concept series, it's always interesting to see others' takes, and how different or similar they are! I like that Regina concept quite a bit. The buffalo is really well done. I take it that's the western lily up there! St John's is cool, but I agree with @NoE38 about making it a hill, and maybe try pastel colors. That second version for Quebec with the new wings looks much better! The MLS teams all are slight upgrades. I like the NASL font for Vancouver and the integration of the fleur de lys for Montreal. I look forward to your takes on Saskatoon and Calgary! I find your idea to include Anchorage pretty cool! However... how could you separate the Whitecaps from the Sounders and Timbers after 45 years of rivalry!?

Dan O'Mac Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I like that on Hamilton, there are 11 visible chain links, so, even if unintentional, you can claim it was "one for each person on the field". I like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
