AAO Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Since they have to ditch the name Seminoles, FSU is going to need a new name and logo. Decided to keep the same colors. As far as the team name goes, I don't know if Cyclones or Typhoons sounds better, nor which is going to be liked by Floridians and people at the school. I also don't know if i should go with a gold outline, white & gold outlines, or no outlines. If you guys could help me out with that and anyother input you have i'd appreciate.*EDIT* Apparently, FSU is keeping the name Seminoles. Definite bummer...so i changed it to Miami U a few posts down.... Behance Network || ianbakar.com || Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obiwantok Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Well that blows.As do most typhoons.I wouldn't give up on the concept just yet though- find another home for the team.Anyway, I doubt FSU would have gone with a nickname so close to Miami's Hurricanes.

AAO Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 i just read somewhere that they have to change by 2008. Does anybody else know if FSU has actually been approved to keep the name Seminoles, even in postseason play?

lucky Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Well that last set is great. Another downside in the Typhoon-Cyclone idea is those are just other ways of saying "Hurricane", depending on what part of the world the storm is occuring in. I'm going by memory here but...A Cyclone is a hurricane in the Indian Ocean (and, apparently, over Ames Iowa )A Typhoon is a hurricane in the Pacific Ocean, particulary in the Far East.So I know someone as detail-oriented as yourself wouldn't want to committ a Weather Channel faux-pas like this.Like I said though, awesome logo! Yeah do that. Â Do exactly THAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamblinGamblinTiger Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 as much as i detest F$U, this is the only time i have ever pulled for them..... The NCAA is more disfunctional than the City of Atlanta's government...... by the way.... Are any of our board posters proctologists by chance? The NCAA needs help finding its head.....Death to NCAA P.C.!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I love the Miami modification for this. Moreso because you actually used a different font. Seriously, it's hella fine. The first version of it (single grey outline) is the best of them. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

BuddyLane Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 That's sick! I don't know how you made that look so damn cool but it Rocks! What's sick is that I can't do that kind of work. GREAT JOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggman01 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 aao - some of your best work yet, in my opinion - throw some fb and hoops uni's together for this so we can see how great they look...then send it to miami - this would be better than the bird and u...they could even keep the u as a secondary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamblinGamblinTiger Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 would it be possible to mold the palm tree/wave/lightining thing into a "U"....it's already got the basic shape, but some minor tweaking i think could get it into a U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epiphanic Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 A further expansion on that idea could be that make the Lightning into a "U" and the palm tree and waves into an "M" That may require too much tweaking that would ruin the concept. Just a suggestion. The current state is awesome. "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed."I tweet & tumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Absolutely beautiful. The perspective you used shows great depth, the line quality is tight and aggressive, and the use of two highlight colors adds drama and realism to this logo. I do not like it for a helmet or anything, because it's pretty stand alone, without much lateral motion to it, but it's a great secondary, for center court, locker room walls, t-shirts, etc. I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hey, Agains All Odds, the jury is still out on whether or not the NCAA will allow the University of North Dakota to use the Fighting Sioux nickname. Since the North Dakota tribes are against the nickname, my bet is the NCAA will force UND to change. You might want to come up with a new North Dakota-ish name and logo (my favorite has bee to switch it to the Fighting Norse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 If you just got rid of the angle, it would look similar to the "U". Not that it's not working now, but it would really get that Miami feel to it. Good work, even when it was for FSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
