rentz Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Thanks for the reply.I was hoping for more replies for that concept, but here is a logo sheet for the Palm Beach Pelicans.All C+C for this and the Spartans concept are appreciated.

CAB Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 These are all looking really good. The Spartans logo is a beautiful and the unis are just as great. For the Pelicans, the logo looks pretty good, but it appears he is missing legs. Would they be visible while flying?Heh heh... pee peeReal mature.

OrangeBalloonCoast Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 all around great job...each one of your concepts has gotten better and better, and I really like what you did with Palm Beach's secondary logoI look forward to more updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undead Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I love everything about the Pelicans. Don't change a thing. Solid work. Portfoliobobschultz6' class="bbc_url">@bobschultz6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 SWEET logo for the Pelicans! Don't need to change anything there.(though I would like to see how that set would look on uniforms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rentz Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Presenting...The Palm Beach Pelicans.This concept arose out of the fact that I really wanted to make a team based around Pelicans, which are some of my favorite animals. I cannot entirely take credit for the logo, as it is based on this picture: http://weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/news/speci...log/pelican.jpg.My original plan was to use the colors of the Miami Dolphins, except lightened. So Aqua would be light teal, Coral (Orange) would become Amber and Navy would become Royal. However this ended miserably in failure. The three light colors caused it to be dangerous to epileptics, and when Aqua is lightened, it just looked like a sickish light green. I did like how the amber-ish color looked, and I wanted to try it on a sports team because I don't think anyone has used a similar color since the Buccaneers abandoned along with Bucco Bruce. I liked how a light blue contrasted with this color, and because the concept needed a darker trim color to counterbalance the two very light colors, I kept navy. The colors, therefore, are Azure, 'Creamsicle' and Navy.I have always thought Pelicans had very interesting wings, as the feathers at the end almost resemble fingers, and I wanted to integrate this in to the concept. I managed to use it as an abstract striping pattern.The pants stripes are wings.Home:Away:Alternate:All C+C welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 This is pretty good, I love that color scheme. The design on the shoulders is nice, but I'm not entirely sure about the wings on the side. It sorta looks like feathers are falling all over the place, not really like wings. Maybe if you made it all one continuing wing, that might work out. All in all, I really like where this series is going, I would love to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rentz Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yeah... the side stripes did not really turn out as I had hoped. I changed them to a previous design that I think looks better. Thanks for the comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the comment.That design looks much better. One thing though, (and this may be just me) the helmet logo looks a tad too large, I think it could be sized down a little bit. Other than that, the update looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayor Daily Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Tremendous job on the "PBP" logo, so creative. I'd actually like to have that on a hat lol. But for this reason it MUST be on the helmet; it's a no-brainer. Bird should go, "B" should be there. Again, GREAT job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyrwulf Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 You need to work on the profile of the full body Pelican. The body and head suggest a broadside profile, but the wings suggest a 3/4 profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Presenting...The Hartford Spartans.They are the Jets' affiliate. I came very close to calling them the Titans, but I couldn't bring myself to do it because there is a big-league team with the same name. As a result there is no direct correlation between the Jets and the Spartans.The Logo is the Titans logo from earlier, simplified to eliminate the superfluous details. The colors have also been changed from navy and mustard gold to the greatest color combination ever, Garnet and Gold.I wanted to think outside the box for this concept. Typically I'm not a big fan of piping in jerseys, but for this design, I saw some functionality. While the shoulder striping/piping on these is a bit out there, it's actually supposed to be a representation of plated shoulder armor. For an example, look here: http://www.mbohbot.com/Legionnaire.jpg . Yes that is a Roman Legionnaire but you get the idea. I realize a piping design like this would never fly in the NFL, it is a D-League concept, so I thought because these teams have absolutely no history I could try out some crazy unique looks. I was looking for a number font that would be original and I think I found one; it is also used in the wordmark. I thought it was vaguely- ancient Greek looking.Home:Away:Now, onto my questions...Should I keep the Titans colors?Should I edit the logo, as it is on a Gold helmet and the Spartan helmet is gold? I was thinking that I could make the helmet white and the scarf/cape thing red, and then it would stand out.What do you think of the side panel/ pant stripe? It started off as being a sword sheath and it sort of evolved into a modern striping design that connects to the shoulder piping.All C+C appreciated.wow that Spartans uniform design is kickass!!! exactly my style. I absolutely love the numerals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momentum Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Love the color scheme on the Pelicans. Not so sure about yellow numbers on the white jersey though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rentz Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Thanks for the replies. I'll make some updates soon... is the consensus that I should change the Pelican on the helmet to the PBP logo?I'm going to close out the AFC East with the Patriot's affiliate. I'm thinking that I'll put them in Providence... I don't have the slightest idea about Rhode Island culture and what not, so if someone would like to suggest a name they think would fit I'm entirely open to suggestions.

rentz Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Here's another alternate in Navy... I also changed the helmet logo to the secondary, so you can get an idea of how it looks, and made the numbers darker on the away.Let me know what you think of the changes.

RichardWitham Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 i think pelican wings on the helmet, ALA the eagles, would look sweet. Â Â The Danimal said: Texas is the state that gave us George W. Bush and Sarah Palin. 'Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnmrwrw Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 i think pelican wings on the helmet, ALA the eagles, would look sweet.I agree, but you've got to do it just right. I think you'd need something more detailed than the wings you're using on the jerseys, but I don't think the wings from the logo would quite work the way they look right now. If you tweaked the logo, adding some touches of highlights or shadows to show definition where the feathers are, you could greatly improve the logo and have a better starting point for doing a winged helmet, maybe the logo outlined in white on an orange helmet.

One, just about everyone has or presently smokes marijuana. Two, people around here seem attached to heavy industry (factory jobs are actually considered desirable).
