LeeTraylor Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Thought it would be neat to see modernized versions of the NFL Europa teams, so I'm giving it a shot. Starting with the Barcelona Dragons. I'll post original identities followed by my ideas on modernizing and any changes based on criticism/critiques I receive. Thanks in advance!

LeeTraylor Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Toned down the green a bit to make the color scheme less "Christmas-y". Modernized the cartoon dragon to something that I hope is sleeker and a bit more fierce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeTraylor Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Cleaned up the wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeTraylor Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 And a color version of the wordmark.And finally, some uni's. What do you think? Is this project worth pursuing? Changes that need to be made to Barcelona? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 It's a worthy project. I think the Dragon's jaw needs to be more defined. It's not there right now so the neck looks like it goes into the skull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeTraylor Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Totally agree about the neck. How's version two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1clkgtramg Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 hmm, the logo itself is missing something. I don't know if it's the lack of an outline so the pieces seem separated, but something just isn't finished. The Jerseys look great though. Gonna be interested to see how this goes.

neo_prankster Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I would bring back the red lips, and put in a few more teeth, and then make the teeth white.Maybe a white eye with a green pupil, and a nostril for the nose.Will we see London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam or Rhein anytime soon?

LeeTraylor Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Next up we have the Rhein Fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeTraylor Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 I was (and still am) a bit torn on this team. I was actually a pretty big fan of this team growing up (relatively so, anyway), so designing a huge departure from their funky original identity was bittersweet. Decided to rev up the red to a more "fire red". Definitely wanted to simplify the logo and make it less of an acid trip to look at, but still trying to decide if what I ended up with is oversimplified.Went for a wordmark that was more legible and simpler than the original. Rhein's uniform sets. Thoughts on the Fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeTraylor Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 And for giggles, here's a set with their original red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilton92 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I'd go with the original color scheme since the orange seems to stand out a little better and just looks unique compared to the other. You might need to go with another number font also. As is, it doesn't fit well with the rest of the identity. http://www.manic-expression.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Im not feeling Rhein Fire. The R ball logo is weak. The uniforms are good in the original colors but the number font is not strong enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeTraylor Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Tried to make the suggested changes. New font, original reds, and a new (still boring) logo. I'm definitely struggling coming up with a "fire" logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeTraylor Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 And one set with a crazy number font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 The split pant stripes for Barcelona is bugging me. "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FALCON6 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I like your sleek, simple, and stylized take on the Barca logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_prankster Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 For Rhein, I would just have the flame without the R. The pant legs should have a flame design a la the 1984 Arizona Wranglers of the USFL.When you do Frankfurt, I think they would be okay with just a touch up of the original logo.When you do the London Monarchs, their original logo is perfect as is, but I would like to see your take with the original blue, gold and red colors.When you do Amsterdam, the orange ribbons around the shield could be simplified, and green can easily be phased out to just have blue and orange.

Jake3roo Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I honestly think these are perfect. (**) (**) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 IMO, the Rhein Fire helmet logo was iconic so I'd at least like to see that or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
