MrAstrodome Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I been ekeing out a Clippers concept for a while and found inspiration from their San Diego days. Not to sure about the placement of the word mark though. All New: NFL RandomWebsite ★ Behance ★ Twitter ★ Geekier Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancealot Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 the logo without the word ark looks great, the word mark just covers too much of the logo. I would try it underneath the sail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg_Fryman Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Largers and underneath the sail might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

MrAstrodome Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 I made some adjustments to the logo over the weekend and the text underneath the sail was a good idea. Also, I worked out the uniform set and went with a sky blue alternate instead of regular blue. The comments under the Clippers' entries were right, sky blue would set the Clippers apart.

raysfan24 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Not feeling the font on the uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDesign Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Number font on the uniforms is not working. Also where the vertical piping meets the horizontal piping on th shorts needs to be reworked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 First of all, the numbers on the jerseys are WAY too big, especially on the front side. Typically the numbers on the front are smaller than the numbers on the back of basketball jerseys. Also, consider a different number font. This one isn't matching the rest of the jersey. I like the idea of making a somewhat retro looking logo for the Clippers here, going back to their San Diego days, but I'm not exactly seeing a boat below the sail. Does anyone else think the shape of the boat is odd, or just me? I would get rid of the gray outlining the sail because there is no other gray in this logo and it seems out of place.

tBBP Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I really like this...you've got a good start.Just a few things though:- that basketball/sun is going to lose detail when the logo is scaled down. Better to leave it as a solid circle.As is now, that sailboat looks more like a hang glider. It probably has more to do with the "mast" if the sail, not to mention the bow pointing down rather than up. Also, clipper ships are known for their many sails, so could you try the three-sail thing with the shape you have now?Excellent script font choice (what font is that, anyway?), but I feel you should also match the number font to it. Oh and, now that I see it on the uniforms, either make it thicker or add an outline to the scripts—as is now they get lost against the background when scaled down.Good start though...keep at it. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Basically what the others said. Make the number smaller on the front, and find a better number font. Maybe something that matches the wordmark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg_Fryman Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I feel like the text still needs to be a couple pixels larger and the red behind the c and under the a needs to be filled in. Then it will be fantastic. Very good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAstrodome Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 I went back the logo and got rid of the outline on the sails and added two more after looking up clippers on Google. Oddly enough, it now looks the original logo.There was one mistake I made earlier that I didn't realize until last night. I thought the white-Home/colored-Away was reversed for the NBA. And Buc the font that I used for the wordmarks is Philosopher.And I made a fourth just for the heck of it.

Ross_Shafer Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Diggin' it, but cut down on the red a little bit. Maybe just a smaller stroke around the type?

BBTV Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 At first glance I read "Chippers" in the primary logo. Maybe there's a way to space out the l and i a little bit?

jaha32 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Much better with the updates. The ship looks like a clipper now. Taking out the thin details of the basketball lines and keeping it a plain circle is a good move. One nit-pick in the logo is the tension point between the top of the L and the bottom of the boat.The jerseys are also much improved now that you re-sized the numbers. The numbers are a little too high and close to the the words though. Move the numbers down a tad on the front side. Also, all the jerseys have an outline around the letters, except the home jersey which has no outline. To keep it consistent, add a red outline.

debo0775 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Loving the update to the logo. The font, to me, is a bit wonky - I'm not sure that I'm a fan of the serif, but I get its inclusion.I really dig the jerseys and shorts, but I don't much care for the piping along the sides of the jersey/shorts. If including piping, I'd be curious to see how it looks by not carrying the trim around the arms/neck all the way around the jersey. Maybe have the piping connect to the arm detailing, wrap the detailing around the front and on top of the shoulder to continue around the back of the neck and back down the front? I'm not sure how that would look/if it would create a "bib" effect, but there's something that feels off about the piping connecting at the arms.

AceHawk447 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Best of the Clippers branding attempts I've seen thus far...excellent choice of wordmark font and great update of the sails.A few suggestions, though: 1) Experiment with arching the wordmark on the jersey, 2) Is there any way a "nautical flags" element would fit? (I'm thinking a secondary/tertiary consisting of the nauticals for "L" and "A.")Overall, some fab stuff, AoA...keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAstrodome Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 One last edit. Added border on the wordmark for the home jersey. Did not like a red border on blue text but instead flipped it to have blue border on white.
