hugevolsfan Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 My Daughter is getting ready to start her freshman year at Anderson County High School which is where my wife attended high school as well.She is on the Volleyball team & for years I have been thinking of coming up with a logo for them that is not a rip off of someone else. I finally put the time into it.They currently use some of these logos as branding for their sports.Obviously they are ripoffs of the Bulls & the Longhorns. Here is my logo that kinda pulls the two together. Let me know what you think I may expand to do some uniforms.

Nabil Hasroun Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Maybe if horns are thicker.- Nabil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Not bad! I wonder if you spread the eyes just a bit more it would seem more bovine. Also, the dark bar where the horns connect to the head should be a bit wider. I like the M on his forehead, too. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugevolsfan Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Here is an update changed the eyes just a little and made the hair on top bigger added some shading to the ears to kind of balance the logo more. Improvement? My Fictional Football League Version 3 My Fictional Football Leagues WebsiteMy Church Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I am really glad you did this. I teach at a HS that has the Mavericks as our mascot and I hate our current logo. We have used the longhorns and a couple of ugly bull designs, but I want to use something like you have here, but I am not proficient at making one. I am very interested in what you design and the final result you create. Our colors our green/orange (U of Miami). Please post your developments to give me ideas.

suplauren Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Here is an update changed the eyes just a little and made the hair on top bigger added some shading to the ears to kind of balance the logo more. Improvement?Definitely an improvement. I think the mouth area could use some definition as well. I think there's something about the eyes that makes them look concerned rather than determined or intimidating, but I can't put my finger on what it is. laurenlogos.tumblr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugevolsfan Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Changed the eyes a little, changed the top of the head & the nose part.I think this will be the last update.

Trouble Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 The eyes are better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'm not sure if you referenced a real bull/longhorn photo when making this, but cattle eyes rest on the side of their head. Currently, the eyes in this are very much in the front still. They also seem a little too large. The size is making it look somewhat cute and the angle of the brow and pupil is making it look bored. If you are still planning on making updates, I'd consider the eyes. DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugevolsfan Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 I did look at the pics in the beginning & used them to actually frame the overall shape but I see I have lost a little of the longhorn look probably from looking at other Logos of Bulls.I am going to take another crack thanks Jaha32.

I used to reference other logos before and during the design process, but I find they often lead me astray, so now I mainly just stick to photos for accuracy.

MrWonka Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yea, he seems a little bored or uninterested right now. I assume you're trying for him to look angry? Maybe adding some sort of outline of a brow to show the distinction of it being angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugevolsfan Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Ok here is a pretty big change completely redid the eyes actually used my first design I had that I did not show but this time widened them out to be more bovine. Changed the nose to be more defined.Also changed the M hair to better show an M I may use the top of the M as a basis for a wordmark & font.C & C please!

Trouble Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Although I liked your previous version, this is definitely better. The eyes are wider and the sharper nose send a "Tougher" message and give it the look a mascot should have. The M is better and the definition in the nose is more authentic. As I mentioned before, we too are the Mavs and would love to see this in our colors. I think my AD would really like this better than our current Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longhorn looks tired l, I think if you sharpened up the eyes by angling them a bit and maybe adding a more of a unibrow, your logo would look a lot meaner and intimidating.

Critical Thinker Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I think the eyes and eyebrows need to be larger. Other than that, I like what I'm seeing here. It's _____________ and Toledo still sucks.[insert time here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
