29texan, I can't see image on link you posted, I'm getting a blank page.

Thanks! Can I use this as my avatar?

Yeah, sure can

U dub?

Jeez Ren, you are on fire lately.

I'd love to see a color correct Ren update of Herky

Love all the work (especially the first Texas logo).

If you have the time, an updated Oski would be awesome.

Thank you all for the compliments! Currently working on Cal oski.

Rambulance, are you referring to the yellow shade of Herky?

This one was requested. Skier, hope I did it justice. Not sure how accurate it is...couldn't really make out all the detail from image.

These are all spectacular. Any general tips for other people looking to try this out?

For me it's about keeping it simple & not overthinking the design. Use the more defined lines of the logo as your starting point then progress from there. This can be easily achieved by simply printing out the logo you want to work on & tracing those defined lines. A light table or tracing paper are ideal for this but not a must. Once you have your line work laid out then you can begin adjusting those lines to your liking. Once that's complete just scan it & use your favorite drawing program to finish it. Always take your time because rushing through the design will more than likely show in your finished artwork. Hope this helps & maybe we'll see a vintage logo design from you sometime soon.

Really appreciate all the positive feedback on these! Will post SMU hopefully tomorrow, also working on U of Colorado.

These are really terrific versions of great logos. You managed to update them without altering their essential character.

Would you take some suggestions on a few logos that need updating?

Sure, Just worked on this NDSU vintage logo yesterday for Milkman14.

Both updates are beautiful. I'm curious to see if maybe a soft gold would look better than the silver shading though. A shade similar to the one used on the red river uniforms this year.

OK, I went ahead & took stab at the other Longhorns logo. C&C

That is a really well done update. Have you considered updating this version:

I actually did consider doing it but went with the other because it had more of that vintage look to me. I still may take a stab at this.

thank you all for the positive feedback!!

I'm a big fan of vintage logos so I decided to try my hand at updating the Texas Longhorns logo. C & C is always welcomed!

*EDIT*

Here's an index of all the updated logos done as of 2/16/2015 in this thread courtesy of Doyle524 & davidmiller5. Thank you!
