mcrosby Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I got bored and decided to try my hand at some soccer crests. Cameroon wore a lion patch on their recent jerseys and I wanted to try to incorporate that into the Indomitable Lion's fulltime crest.The shield shape is based on the current crest, with the addition of the 3 flag colors on the top, instead of in the background.The nose and cheeks of the lion form the top of a soccer ball. It's not obvious, but it's there.I'll probably do some more national team crests, so if you have requests/ideas feel free to throw them out there. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashcarson15 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 This is sex. Well done. It's a little quirky in ways but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shumway Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Wow. This looks phenomenal. My only minor gripe is where the ribbon meets the bottom of the lion's mane. It doesn't look bad as is, but I'm curious how it'd look of it were yellow...or maybe even red or green. Nice stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udubs03 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 This is fantastic. The only thing that bothers me is the little fang-looking bit on the inside corners of the eye. They make the eyes look kind of sad rather than aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFight Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 this is wonderful...really amazing use of the lion...I always thought their logo was classy but a bit bland, but this is really great. Maybe you could do a USA or Ireland one, their logos are in need of some serious work. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Let's try another shall we? This time around: Burkina Faso. I wanted to avoid the usual containment of a crest with this one and went with a more simplified coat of arms style.

mcrosby Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 One more, I'm going to try to get a lot of these done. Angola: I used the sable antelope as well as symbols from their flag-the cog and machete. I wanted to do a unique crest shape as well. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed618 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Amazing work as always, crosby. My favorite right now would be Angola, with it's tongue-in-cheek socialist vibe. Do you plan on doing the entire Dark Continent, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Amazing work as always, crosby. My favorite right now would be Angola, with it's tongue-in-cheek socialist vibe. Do you plan on doing the entire Dark Continent, then?I'd like to do as many as possible. The hardest part is knowing which symbols are important to each nation. The team nicknames help, but there is a lot I don't know. I've been doing lots of research. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The Angola crest is very clever, though I'm having trouble reading the black of the nose as a nose--maybe hit it with a small outline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatFatCat Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 They all look phenomenal, the red on Burkina Faso is a nice touch for the features towards the back. You should try to make jerseys for these, they would be very tasty. The soccer ball/ lion face is a very clever touch, though not at all noticeable. I'm rather embarrassed to be asking this, but what is the animal in the Angola crest? You could try to make the animal for Angola more defined.Overall very nicely done.

mcrosby Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 The animal on the Angola crest is a Sable Antelope. Thanks for the great comments everyone. I should hopefully have another crest for you today. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 And now for Algeria. The crest shaped is based on the Hand of Fatima, the rest is pretty simple. I was going to make a fennec fox the basis of this logo but I wanted to get away from the nicknames for this one. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFight Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 All of these are just beautiful...can't wait for Ghana and South Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancealot Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 It would be cool to see a fennic fox in the shape of the crescent, similar to the fire fox logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Algeria is fantastic. I likewise want to see South Africa and Ghana (even if Ghana keeps kicking our butts in World Cup.)I also appreciate that you are pairing (most of) these with the original crest so we can see what your new direction is with your work.
