AusGiant Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi Guys,I've decided to give my AFL team's logo a bit of a refresh...I'm pretty happy with it, but i'd like to run it by you guys before I plan on proposing it to the club. On that note, I'd also like some opinions on how I would show the club the modernized logo.Thanks DRIBBBLE - BĒHANCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I don't think you need to darken the red but thickening the borders was a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdp Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I know nothing of the AFL, but that's definitely an improvement, all around.I do like the darker red, though. I think I just have an aversion to that hue in the original red.Following this for sure. "Type something, will ya?

GeauxColonels Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I don't think you need to darken the red but thickening the borders was a good thing.I agree with this. I think the red hue currently in use is fine.The one thing that bothers me about the update is that the period under the "T" isn't on the same baseline as the other periods like it is in the current crest. I think it should be on the same baseline. It just looks weird to me right now and creates a small bit of blank space that draws my attention.

mamiller99 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Agreed with all the comments. Will you plan on improving upon the team's kit? That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AusGiant Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks for the comments guys, I'll be updating soon.Agreed with all the comments. Will you plan on improving upon the team's kit?I'm not planning to and really don't see a need to. The Saints already have some of the best kits in the league atm.Here's the current home..and our away.Also are their any ideas of how I go about proposing the the logo to the club? Even though it's only a logo refresh, would something along the lines of what Brandon Moore did be suitable? DRIBBBLE - BĒHANCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganPackers Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Second one is better on all counts, but I personally would get rid of the quotation marks around the motto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it seems like the CCSLC is in an all out war with Instagram, YOLO. Another example other than Brandon Moore is what happened to the Saint John's IceCaps. A local graphic designer proposed a third jersey to the team, and they accepted it. So go do it, there's no reason not to try.

So go do it, there's no reason not to try.What's happening with the board and Instagram? Anyways, I fully get where your coming from in terms of having a go at a Jersey design. But the club is very much centred in the traditional approach to their brand. Although the club have had some varied looks in the past, the 'tripanel' has been part of the clubs identity since the 1920s; it's what makes the club so recognisable in Australia. I personally don't want the club to go fixing something that isn't broken. However if their was one small thing I would change it would be making the crest larger on the heart of the jersey, replicating the the kit worn in the glory years of the club...So would a casual email to the club with a PNG file of the updated crest suffice?

Guest darkpiranha Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I think the crest should be more in the shape of a 20-piece bucket, original recipe. And I've always thought that Colonel Sanders was a pretty good guy, but a saint? Shows what I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Man...I can't unsee this, and I'm happy that I can't. The bolder strokes and darker red give the Saints crest a more modern touch, yet retains everything that makes the St. Kilda crest what it is. I'd see about tweaking the period under the T, as others pointed out, but that's about it.

Maybe just elongate the 't'? Kubiak Designs, Buffalo, NY- Est. 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AusGiant Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Made the T's dot touch the baseline, got rid of the quotation marks and made the red like the current media-used logo. Thanks for the input guys. I'm experimenting with the idea of a secondary monogram logo. I'll update soon with the half finished product.

1clkgtramg Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 A great simple clean up! I personally prefer the historical looking logos as opposed to the modern ones. Are you planing on doing anymore AFL teams?

mcrosby Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I think if you make the ends of the banner follow the curve of the shield it would look better. It's not a very noticeable change, but it's one that can make things look a lot cleaner. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
