PhilaLogos Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I started out with this just as a fun project since I own a Boston Terrier, but seeing as this is also the mascot for BU and their current logo is sort of dated and cartoonish I developed it into a concept. C&C apprectiated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohob Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 The face isn't bad, but there are issues with the body. By using the grey for wrinkles instead of looking at the entire form, it looks flat to where the back half of the body doesn't recede into space. It's a good start though.

Fjm Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 The art is nice, but it looks like the dog is flying, or that it was just tossed up in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I like the way the dog is jumping, it reminds me of the Hamilton Tigers logo.But it is hard to tell front from back, wrinkle from muscle, etc. It looks like it's somewhere between a drawing and a logo, keep at it. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jab8281965 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Since BU's arch rival (my alma mater, Northeastern) has black and red as its school colors, and its mascot is also a dog (Husky), BU has been trending away from emphasizing black as part of its color palate.The BU hoop team had black trim in its jerseys for a while, but the last few years they've gone back to the more traditional red and white.I like their current logo.I do think Northeastern will be in the market for a new athletics image package in the near future, however. Our current logos for athletics stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad BC can whoop all of them Anyway, I think his is a pretty good illustration, but not logo. The body, as others have said, is awkward, especially the hind legs. The face looks kind of weird too. So yeah, it's really good as sort of an illustration but not so much for a logo. If only they still had football.

PhilaLogos Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Ok, thanks for the feedback people. I agree the body does look kind of funny for the most part, so I made it a head/neck logo which I think should make it look more like a logo as apposed to a drawing or illustration. Tell me what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 my first thought at the head/neck logo was to put it in a shield, because of the way the neck comes to a point. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 The whole teeth thing is bothering me. If the dog is growling, emphasize that around it's eyes as well or something. Make the whole face look fierce if that's the way you want to go.I would suggest going with just a plain dog's head. I don't think there's any need to make every logo look mean or intimidating or modern. Just make the dog's mouth normal, and go with head/neck idea. Perhaps put it in a shield as was suggested before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericjjyy Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 maybe try the head and neck concept on a circle, kinda similar o the one that Boston has today, see how that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say something about you folks from the University of Chestnut Hill.Remember, Boston College isn't a college, and it's not in Boston.Sheesh, lighten up... I think you're taking the Beanpot rivalry thing a little far for this situation. Just poking some fun.Yes, I know it's not a college and you're wrong, it is partially in Boston (you know... Brighton and West Roxbury). Not downtown, but Boston nonetheless.I don't love the logo... I just don't hate it. The older ones were plain awful. It's not badly executed at all, you have to give it that. And as for what that says about me (who doesn't even go to BC, FYI), I'm not sure... is it a bad thing?Look, I have nothing on NU. I have close family members who have gone/are going to BU and NU. Just... take it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
