I guess my commentary would be to sacrifice some authenticity for smoother lines. Most pro sports logos are about motion and lines that lead the eye in a particular direction.  Some examples of lines that could be simplified would be the dorsal fin, the "neck" and head lines, and the rear edge of the tail.  I would say to take a look at some other fish logos out there for comparison. The Chris Creamer main page has several you could use as examples:

 

Minnesota Fighting Pike  (Arena Football League)

Columbus Catfish (minor league baseball)

Gwinnett Stripers (minor league baseball)

Victoria Salmon Kings (minor league hockey)

Idaho Steelheads (minor league hockey)

Waco Blue Cats (minor league baseball)

Minnesota Muskies (minor league hockey)

Florida Tarpons (indoor football)

Northern Kentucky River Monsters (indoor football)

Thank you, that's good advice. I'd shied away from looking at the logos of fish vs. actual fish, but it might be time for that. I didn't want to "borrow" either accidentally or otherwise, but I think I've arrived too much at too complex of a logo as you said. Back to the drawing board.

Thanks for the feedback. I know there's still stuff to do (teeth?), but wondering if this is trending in the right direction.

I need some constructive criticism on a Chinook Salmon logo that I made for a fictional university logo in the northwest.

The "C" shape is important, and the three colors and the university's colors. Otherwise, trying to make it more like a good logo.

I really like how Nashville's colors look on the court. Enjoying this whole series.

I like these teams' identities (color schemes, logos, nicknames).  The Flyers' side trim is nicely reflected in the third jersey. I feel like the Kings' crown trim is a little too forced; perhaps a smaller, repeated pattern?

Little help with this one from Nike?

Haven't really commented, but I really like the work on this. Enjoying watching the detail you put in to all these fields. Keep it up!

Thanks for doing this; very valuable!

I really enjoyed seeing your work on the South Dakota logo. Had not seen that in a long while, and it looks very fresh with how you sharpened it up! Thanks!

Does anyone know what font or free font would be close to this? I'm assuming it is a custom font, but... given USD's athletic budget, maybe not.

I know this isn't an actual font, but does someone have a suggestion about what may be a font that would be similar or imitating some of these letters?

Thanks.

Thank you!
