HRC4 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'm trying to create a logo for one of my fantasy leagues. I didn't come up with the boring name, so don't blame me. I want an abstract looking football on the bottom, but what I've got here I think looks too spherical. I've also tried doing a helmet, but didn't like anything that came of that. Anyone help a brother out? (Note: if this should go under requests, let me know and I'll move it.) Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windell918 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Really like the colors and the arrangement. Don't mind the way the football looks but shrink the logo at all and the football would be real tough to make out. Great start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsherald Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Reference to a model might help you to perfect your depiction of the ball. 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...

I was having a heck of a time finding a football from the right perspective. I'll mess around with this tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 The top curved lines are what's giving spherical appearance.. take them up toward the laces slightly, shrink them slightly, and add a small part going back up towards the center where the laces end, giving it an appearance of the stitches surrounding the laces.. That might help with everything you're trying to fix.. otherwise, I think you're really close to a great logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRC4 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Got rid of the top "lines" addition by subtraction in my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Nice work...but I'm wondering if you need the green AND yellow in your football image. What if you just used one of the 2 colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRC4 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 Green, yellow, and gray are our league colors. The only thing I could really do to get rid of either yellow or green would be to replace it with black or white. Otherwise I lose some of the detail. I'm still messing with this idea though.

The three colors look fine in the overall logo, but the double colored football becomes distracting with the yellow drop shadow. There is more than enough yellow in the overall logo to not know that it's a league color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logo as a whole works well with the colors selected. Nothing else has the dual color treatment like the football, so it looks a bit out of place.
