    I think you ended up in a good spot for your Pittsburg redo. I'll admit the 70's style isn't my personal favorite in general and you've definitely hit that, but this is well executed and fits the franchise well.

    Thank you!

     

    Onto the next team-

     

    This time I went way out west… into the NFC West!

     

    San Francisco 49ers

    FPn5xXMWQAIOq1V?format=jpg&name=large
    FPn5xXHXwAYNWrd?format=jpg&name=large
     

    Gone is black with a heavier emphasis on the main colors of red and gold.

     

    I prefer the top option, but wanted to see how people felt about the bottom option as it mimics the correct 49ers jersey striping

     

    C&C appreciated as always!

    I like the first one in an alternate 70s universe

    You could use the top option as a secondary to the circle in the first post. Not a fan of the last two. I see what you were trying to go for, but that effect doesn’t really work out in practice.

    Thank you for the feedback!


    Here’s the Primary, Secondary, and Wordmark for the Steelers-

     

    Primary- Slightly bolder “P” is the only change

     

    Secondary- More evenly spaced steel sunrise

     

    Wordmark- Mimics the secondary

     

    PITTSBURGH STEELERS

    This entire set developed into a very retro-70s identity for the Steelers. Which, works well in my opinion as I wanted Pittsburgh to take on a new identity that still felt classic. Overall, I’m pretty happy with the outcome!

    I think B is the best option here.  You'd have to adjust the curvature of C for it to look like a football.

    Of these four D would be my preferred choice. The blue and green don't work great when contacting each other in my opinion so I think generally having a yellow or white in between them works better. The thicker striping helps and I like there being a gap between the outer rings and the G. In all the others the G is right up against the edge of the circle.

     

    With B, I would consider adding a gap between the G and the blue ring, and making the part of the G that goes in go a little further in.

     

    My main critique on C (I appreciate you trying it) is that the G is at a different angle than your seams indicate the rest of the logo would be, so the implied perspective is a bit jarring. I think if you either kept the G level like the seams are, or adjusted the seams and the perspective to align with the angled G (this may take more effort though), it would work better.

    Thank you as always for the feedback!

     

    I’ve decided to roll with Option B with the slight adjustment of adding space between the blue and G. While it’s not the approach I was going for initially, it’s likely the best to not stray too far from the original and current logo. I also updated the wordmark. Scrapping the horrendous stencil font.

    Onto the next team-

     

    Again, one of those franchises that I’ve always felt needed a little update as I’ve never really been a fan of the identity.

     

    Pittsburgh Steelers

     

    First and foremost, I understand the significance of the current logo. As that may be, I still don’t like it. The team needs something new while remaining classic. The two constants throughout these options are replacing the “Steelers” with a “P” as well as removing the stars in favor of stripes. “Steel Sunrise” I’ll call it.

     

    Option A- Retains the roundel, placing the “P” up at the top with the Steel Sunrise. Circle is white.

    FPSx9wlXIAYucQE?format=jpg&name=medium
     

    Options B1 & B2- Effectively the same, with B2 sporting a bolder “P”. Again, Steel Sunrise at the bottom, all enclosed in a Keystone shape.

    Option A keeps the similarity stripe-wise to the current logo. I think if you add blue, make the logo more circlular and change the stripes on it, that’s one too many changes.

    I like where you've landed with the Texans. It helps connect it with Houston in a better way I feel than the bull logo does.

     

    As someone who does like the Packers logo, I think adding the dark blue could work and connect different eras of the team's history. If the goal is to get the team into a roundel style logo, I think maybe taking inspiration from the viewpoint looking at the end of a football instead of the current logo's side profile view could be a way to make it work a bit better. Putting notions of tradition aside, the things I noticed for these round G logos are that there is a pretty good amount of negative space inside of the G right now, and the G itself is looking a little plain and generic. Shaping the G in someway to hint at the end of a football may help to give the G some character like the H/T in your Texans logo have and fill the space a bit better.

    Thanks for the input!

     

    Here’s 3 more options to go along with the original (A)

    FPI9EZ3XoAQJyAL?format=jpg&name=large
    FPI9EaeX0AM2Frp?format=jpg&name=large

     

    B- Middle ground between the roundel and current logo shape

     

    C- Attempt at mimicking the seams of a football as seen from a frontal view, as well as slightly rotating the “G”

     

    D- The same as a previous option, but the striping is thicker

    Option B is sort of awkward-looking. The “B” is too blocky to fit in the circle, it looks like something on Cartoon Network. Option A is the way to go.

    Yeah, the more I looked at the “GB” it reminded me of the Warner Bros logo.

     

    Now, I’m placing Option A against a new Option B-

    FPDY_ZnXEAQb0XY?format=jpg&name=large
     

    For the new B, I wanted to retain the new “G” and mimic the collar striping on the current uniforms

    I wouldn't mind orange in their color scheme, would separate them from the other red, white, and blue teams

    Having orange in the color scheme gives it not only a rustic Texas vibe (team name) but also somehow feels NASA-ish (city location). Absolutely perfect.

    Exactly what I was going for! Honestly, I may come back to the design for some touch ups, but overall I’m satisfied with the outcome.

     

    Now for the next team.

     

    Coming in at 103 years young, a lot of history behind the franchise and aiming to take on a fresh new look-

     

    The…

     

    Green Bay Packers

    FPDIQ4lXEAM63hl?format=jpg&name=large
     

    Truth be told, I’ve never been a fan of the Packers’ current identity.

     

    For this new look, I wanted the logo to utilize the three base colors from team’s history. Dark Green, Dark Blue, and Yellow.

     

    Next, I created two different logos. That’s where I need help figuring out if either of these are the right choice or if I should go back to the drawing board

    The shortened version is the way to go! It both gives off space capsule/rocket vibes, but you can clearly see the H and T representing the team. You probably need to drop he silver, beacuse, as you said, that creeps into Pats territory.

    I feel pretty good about the Texans now.

     

    I think this morphed into more of a new primary logo as time has gone on-

    The gradients look pretty good.  I think the best is the navy one that uses the orange tail, as red just blends in with the H. 

    Okay, so I like where this is going. Kept the solid orange, no interlocking and testing out inclusion of silver. However, it may be hovering into Patriots territory.

    Another idea I had was reforming the rocket into a lunar module by shortening the H and T tail.

    These past few attempts are to tie in the Texans with the Astros and Rockets as spaced themed.

    For the win.

    Would the T being red make it look like a flame at the bottom?

    Titled 45°, no interlocking, making the H cross and T cross one in the same, T tail red

    FOv2SOtWUAIWg59?format=jpg&name=900x900
     

    Here’s some variations that include interlocking, varying “flame” colors, as well as color scheme variations-

     

    I feel like I may be onto something with including tan/sand

    FOv2SOrWQAEgCq4?format=jpg&name=900x900
     

    This one was to see how well orange would fit into the scheme. Unsure at this point
    FOv00WaXEAMOoAz?format=jpg&name=900x900
     

    I know gradient can be a sin, but wanted to see if it could make the “flame” pop
    FOv00WYX0AUt106?format=jpg&name=900x900
     

    Tried out a “rustic” color scheme with the next two. Definitely at the bottom, but figured I’d give it a shot.

    Well make the bottom smaller or the top larger.

    I like the second one, but maybe the ends of the T's upwards?

     

    I think the H T would look spectacular in the star, stuff the Cowboys.

    Looking through all the iterations, I keep coming back to this one. I'm not getting "I" vibes from the "T" - I think it's a clear "T", but I do think there's something about it that I just can't put my finger on. Maybe some spacing between the H and the T and some intersection.  I actually dig it more when it's compressed like this as opposed to being elongated. 

    FOp0HgTXEAQ8tsB?format=jpg&name=medium
     

    Plus, a new direction. Trying out an attempt at an abstract space shuttle look. Should I thin out the spacing between the H? Not sure what to do with the T either.
