gordie_delini Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well, my wife decided she wants to go back to school, and she's returning to the University of Montana, where she spent her first term of college. So, we're moving out there, and in my excitement, I've decided to give the old walking grizzly an overhaul. C&C welcomed and appreciated.CURRENT GRIZZLY (minus the "volleyball" moniker):My updated version:FULL MARK:STANDALONE GRIZZLY:GRIZZLY HEAD: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 MUCH better! My main issue with the current one is that it's overly detailed and not at all imposing. This one is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 My only issue is that the full body bear looks like a giant fuzzball..... Immaculate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohob Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well done. Did you plan for both the two-color and full-colors sets to be used? Or were you looking for a vote? Honestly, I don't think could choose. Both sets are great!

Mings Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Gotta move the Montana up a little in the space. Looks a little awkward right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmered Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Very very nice.Agree with Mings, move the text up just a little, but the bear is awesome. Oh, and I've got a site.Footy Jumpers Dot Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Now this is being picky....but does it need the double outline? I'd take a look with only a single outline.Otherwise, this is fantastic. A great upgrade that maintains the integrity of the original but is much better suited for reproduction and recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbreadmann Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Game, Set, Gundell.I'm no sure if the text should be moved up or not but the bear wins, no contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB61 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hanna Montana?Joe Montegna?I like these, Brian. I like these a lot. I think the beauty of yours is that it's not as detailed as the original, which is an improvement. The only thing, like Pat said, is the use of the double outline on the standalone grizzly. The wordmarked version is okay, because I think it flows, but not so much on the logo itself.Still, it's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie_delini Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Fixed the Montana text (moved it up a tad). The reason I went for the double outline on the bear was for the version on the left to incorporate the school colors. When I had the single outline, it didn't feel finished to me. In any case, I've thinned the second outline a little bit on the brown bears, and removed the second outline from the maroon bears, except for on the full mark.

leggman01 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 i think you should help offset her tuition expenses by officially proposing these to the university...seriously - they are such a HUGE improvement (especially the bear) over what they are currently using, but as mentioned, they are not a drastic departure - this is fantastic worki would like to see the stand alone and head only with the white outline separating the gray and maroon...i'm not sure i'll like it, but i'd like to see it - i do like it in the version with the wordmark and it seems like adding a small white outline might pull the white used in the teeth and eyes out a little more...

C&C welcomed and appreciated.My updated version:FULL MARK:Perhaps if the chest didn't hang so low it would make the front legs look a little longer. Also, on the left version, you could use red/maroon letters in the word Grizzlies. With a white outline red letters would still stand out. Hopefully it'll still have a pop.

krownjewelz44 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Excellent work!!! I really like the look of this logo. It is a definite upgrade to an already good logo.

kewp80 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Not really liking the double outline on the brown bear. I like rtrich's suggestion of making the word Grizzlies maroon (copper) with a white outline.Very nice update though, really love it.

GeauxColonels Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Very nice. The only thing I would change would be the Zs in the new logo. Make them stand out more like in the current logo. I'm not sure why, but I like how that's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
