Jimmyfru Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hey Guys,I have a shirt design available on cottonbureau.com, but would love to hear some feedback on the fluer de lis cardinal design. Thinking of turning it into a full redesign of the STL Cards (Which would be a hard project). Any C&C would be appreciated and if you want, you can buy the shirt here: https://cottonbureau.com/products/fleur-de-cardsThanks guys! Go Cards! Go Royals!

STL_ArchMadness Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I think this is a really nice design (Cardinals fan here), and I can see the Flor-de-lis in it, but for some reason I could see people missing it when they first look at it. I don't really know how to fix that but maybe it's just me. Great work http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/98633-2014-nfl-concept-expansion-series-dallas-cowboys/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgdmhl Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I would change City to Club. Other than that it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsherald Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Nice concept. The cardinal's turned head messes up the peak of the fleur de lis, making it less recognisable as that shape, so attempting more of a full-face cardinal might help. You could also consider an outline or superimposing the cardinal on an actual fleur de lis to drive the point home. Use the rules of heraldry for more effective sports logos! i.e. keep it simple, use good contrast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also consider an outline or superimposing the cardinal on an actual fleur de lis to drive the point home. I agree with this. I would have no idea that it fits into the shape of the fleur de lis if you hadn't mentioned it. A thick outline in the shape of a fleur de lis would do the trick I imagine.

worcat Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 i love it but the face should be facing the front, otherwise it just looks like a dead bird on the ground.... Bleeding Blue since 1986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Agreed the fleur de li could be driven home a bit more, but disagree with the front facing Cardinal... I like it. Just the tuft on the top of the head is not centered. Which is normal, but takes away a bit from what you're going for.And put me in the category of not liking "Baseball City". Granted... it is, during the spring, summer, and usually part of the fall But I would rather have "Baseball Club" or just "Cardinals" on the bottom. I would definitely buy one if so. Already know people who would buy this. I'll spread the word and the link It is a pretty nice rendering none the lease! Nice job! Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

worcat Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 something is off putting about the "Spread Eagle" cardinal too. Maybe it's just me, but it's a flaw in the sake of a great design. Bleeding Blue since 1986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyfru Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Thanks for this feedback guys! The only reason I choose "City" over club because it was more to connect with St. Louis, but I will see how it looks. Also, I will try to do a forward facing treatment. Thanks everyone! Keep it coming if possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey_Meatballs Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 My Father in Law is a huge Cards fan and he works on the Mississippi as a dredge engineer. He loves to incorporate the Fleur De Lis logo into his work logos, bar room and other projects.This is a great concept, and I think it would more than likely be a big hit in the St. Louis market.

BrandMooreArt Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Saw this the other day on CB and thought it was really good. You might change the type up a bit and i think "club" sou ds better than "city" which actually reminds me of soccerI dont think you need to do anything to the bird. The FDL is clear enough that i saw it right away and never knew STL had any ties to it. What makes it great is the subtle shape and hint at a FDL, it dosent hit you right in the face with a forced FDL shape around it. Ill be disappointed if you shoe horn a containing shape around it to make it scream its message when its already strong and recognizable for those who are supposed to get it GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
