Whitefoot Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I have created a concept logo for our soccer supporters group in Las Vegas. The idea was to relate the badge to the atomic past of Las Vegas, but use a modern style. I am not a professional graphic artist and am a beginner at using AI, so any constructive criticisms are welcome. The colors are based on the City flag's blue and silver, and UNLV's scarlet (as we support all levels of soccer in LV - and hopefully a new MLS team). The group is also made up of supporters from the entire Las Vegas Valley (LV, Henderson, & North Las Vegas) so I wanted to use images in 3s to represent each city.Here's some of my inspiration: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaker52 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 It bothers my eye that the star is off center but I understand why. Maybe put it above the badge. Other then that, I love it. MUNCHEN LOWEN (WAFA) GULF SHORES OSPREYS (IBL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 It is really, really busy. Way too busy, I dare say. Pare down the elements you've got in there. You don't need them all. If you're calling yourselves the Atom City Army, then I would focus solely on the atom and the mushroom cloud, and forget completely about the sign, the flag (you can still take some of the colour scheme from it, but lose the striping), the military badge and the compass rose. Addition by subtraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefoot Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Here is a couple of updates from the original. I'm not sure if I am going in the right direction. More constructive criticism please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Looks much better. I still don't think you need anything in between "ATOM" and "CITY", especially since the atom is included at the bottom.I'm leaning more toward the version on the right. I think you could put "SG" on the left side of the atom where the "S" currently is, and "15" on the right side where the "G" currently is. Wedging the "15" into the grey space at the bottom leaves it much too small.I like how the cloud goes over the thick grey stripe and right to the edges of the shield in the left version, though. If you could do the same thing on the right version, I think that could work well.I'd also increase the thickness of the grey outline on "ARMY", probably to the same thickness as it around the cloud.

Whitefoot Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 UPDATE: I redrew the mushroom cloud (it needed to be more symmetrical and simplified) and it made a big difference. I came up with a few different ideas. Which looks best? As always constructive criticism is always welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
