gordie_delini Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 This is a baseball concept for Astrobull21 for his American Association Baseball League fantasy team. Here is the full mark, the cap logo and a couple of wordmarks, for the jerseys. Alternate/BP logo and uniforms to come soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallWonk Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 What was wrong with the Gray Nurses?Nice shark. With only two colors, though, the full logo just doesn't work for me. It's too plain. Even adding some white would help a lot. Say, make the letters white with tan highlighting. Something, anything, to make it a little less flat. Alternately, I would love to see a touch of medium blue in this logo. It would work with the green to create a stronger "underwater" atmosphere. One can almost hear Jacques Cousteau: "Zee sleek an' deadly Gray Nurse shark, known to zee local population as zee tiger of zee sand and celebrated for its savage ferocity in song and sport, detects its prey by ..."

quantum Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I would dump the tan outline and incorporate tan as an accent within the white lettering.

leggman01 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 gordie - a couple of nitpicky things - the forward pectoral fin bothers me...it seems a bit too rounded, even with the "notch" - maybe give it a more triangular shape - 2nd, and this may be more difficult to do, but sharks are counter-shaded with lighter bottom sides and darker top sides...i understand you're trying to imply light coming from above and the bottom portion being in the shadows, but it doesn't work here (for me)...maybe this is where you could incorporate a third (lighter) accent color and give the logo/wordmark a green outline? - 3rd, the snout/mouth area needs some work...not sure how to improve it, but the mouth is a bit undefined as it is - this might be difficult to do without adding significant detail (which would not correspond to the rest of the logo) so take this as the least critical of my suggestions - lastly, the tail seems a bit too thresher shark-like - maybe tone down the top tine of the tail a bit...please don't take this as my being overly critical, because i think this has potential to be a GREAT LOGO with a few minor tweaks - i really like the wordmark and the "pose" that this shark is taking - that must have been REALLY difficult to render in that position and it's pretty unique - great work!

gordie_delini Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 here are some of those tweaks made, let me know what you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie_delini Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 ok here's the alternate ive come up with. like i said before, i'm really happy with the buoy part, but i know the waves need a lot of work. please help with those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling84 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 REALLY good start man. Love the idea. I like the addition of white very much.Only advice? The bend of his "torso" is a little severe. I'd like to see a little more flow. ALso, Nurse sharks are pretty docile but have wicked looking, overlapping, croc-style teeth. Lets get some of those bad boys in here.I really like it though. Nice.

creativelysain Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I think what hurts the wave/water the most is that it's white. The overall shape is a little confusing too, so I would just simplify it as much as possible, and maybe just make one or two curves in it to get the point across. But overall, this package is coming along rather nicely. Good job. Follow me on twitter @jrsainGo Heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. as far as the bend is concerned, i tried to make it seem as tho we were viewing the shark from below - not sure if i accomplished that, but hence the bend.i tried to do some of those teeth, i used many photos as references, but i couldnt make it work without losing the overall feel of the design.suggestions for the alternate logo?
