CanesCop86 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 While the very minimal update is helpful, the team should have just changed their dang name because nothing we have seen so far gives me the impression this is a space related team. Most probably don't agree but I'm not impressed by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 It's OK, but when I think of 'Astros', I don't think of a stationary star. I think of speed, movement, etc. It's too Texas Rangery for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonz Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 That's some horrible beveling. Do it right or not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I don't see what is wrong with the beveling... the way the star is situated, and the direction the light is hitting it, the light and shadows look fine.Calm down, angry mob...

14er Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I don't think they will try to bevel the cap logo. Raised and multi directional stitching will create the same look itself using only 2 colors. In other words, the print logo is a 2D replication of the 3D cap logo.

I recall it looking much better embroidered than its flat, digital version did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCdog Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 SportsLogos friend/reader, Twitter @HeyItsBraden, sees it like this...which is much, much better obviously, compared to the t-shirt design. Very nice, Braden, by the way.. The beveling may be incorrect, but it looks better this way for some odd reason. I still would've gone with the Shooting Star paired with the 1965 Home uni's.

bradsbeard Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Well, the new primary posted on the main blog site looks very nice. No beveling (or whatever the dual orange is) would certainly look better than whatever they're going for here, but I think the roundel logo looks great. My guess is the final uniform won't break any new ground or shake the design world, will look dignified and classic, and will still be more exciting than, say, the Padres.

CDixonDesign Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Photo from main site looks like the beveling is present in the primary, just low quality makes it tough to see. Not that bad, could be improved vastly, but could also be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Despite the beveling problems on the star, I actually like the primary logo. Unlike the rest in the recent waive of roundrels, this one doesn't look forced. The star touching the circle feels like a nod to the old west without being over-the-top hokey like what they did in their last set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I like it.To the designer if you are on here: This logo never had a chance on this site, don't let the hate get to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
