OliverP Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hello, long time no see on the boards. Today I'm back with a new project I've been working on in my spare time. It's a logo for FC Bucuresti who have lost the legal battle for their historic name Steaua. The flower in the center is a Romanian national flower called Romanian Peony. Behind are the stripes in red and blue. Also added the gold because of the Romanian flag. I'd like some C/C because I want to upgrade my Behance page so I can expose myself a bit more.

jdp Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 This looks great. The only thing I noticed is that your yellow of the flower is different from the yellow in the roundel. Is that intentional, or is it shading/gradient overlaying the image? "Type something, will ya?

crashcarson15 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Even though I don't know who this club is I do like The FC Barcelona-esque color comboBiggest club in Romania, 1986 European Cup (now Champions League) winners.I really like this. It's solid, clean, and would look good on a shirt. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I think this looks great, but there is one small thing I think you could do to improve it: rotate the points extending from the flower to make it mimic the star in the old logo. I might go so far as to try and make the star points yellow, but that might be a bridge too far. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

marble21 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hard to see anything wrong with this. The only issue is how similar or different you choose to make it to the original. Considering they lost a legal case over the name and colours, it might be wise to avoid any similarities to the original. I think what you have right now does a good job of not crossing the line.I think also given the connections between Steaua's most successful period and communisn, this name change incident is an opportunity for the club to distance themselves from all of that. You managed to include a very Romanian symbol as well as avoiding the communist and military based symbols Steaua were originally connected with. That can only be a good thing in my eyes, UBI FIDES IBI LUX ET ROBUR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverP Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 I really didn't want to have the star in it, because of the reasons marble21 pointed out. It's instantly reminds me of communism and I'm sure the team wouldn't want that. Here, have a kit mock-up: Dribbble Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I suppose I get that, but the upside-down star it creates now looks odd. Plus I like the idea of a subtle nod to their past; even if you don't like the communist period, it's not like "everyone was on vacation" for all of those years.

$teauA Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I like it as a concept but the club and the army better figure out this mess. It's a disgrace. They are making a mockery of the most important brand in Romania sport, heck in Romanian anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love how you incorporated the Romanian Peony into the crest. It gives it that look of purely Romanian. I wouldn't change the colors of the crest even though Steaua lost the court case. It's all about history. And I like how you inverted the star behind the peony. It still reflects their club history but no where has ties to communism and the military. Simple, clean and a nice piece of work. Even that kit mockup looks great! THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverP Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Wow, thanks guys, I haven't been working on it much these last few days, but i'm planing to do mock-ups on couple more things and when I'm done I'll post the Behance link so you can check out the full project. Thanks again! Dribbble Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverP Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Hey guys, I am trying to revive this concept by doing the whole brand identity. I just finished the home kit concept and I would appreciate some C&C. I changed the sponsor on the shirt; I am trying to make it look authentic, so I picked one of their other partners (the previous sponsor logo was bad, it had gradients and a white background). Went with the collar to make it look more traditional, and I am pulling the light blue sleeves from their old kits from 1986 (the year they won the Champions league and Super cup). Those had some light blue accent stripes on the sleeve/shoulder, so I said, might as well make the whole sleeve light blue. The trademark red and blue stripes are there, of course, can't lose those. Tell me what you think. Thanks! Dribbble Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Kaiser Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I'm really not sure what to think about the light blue elements on the jerseys and the socks. I mean, I totally understand the team's history and it avoids the kits from being too plain, but I'm not sure if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was all I needed, those sleeves looked a bit weird to me too, but I went with them anyway just to make the jersey a bit more unique. Here's an update: I've also did some work on the logo to make look it a bit cleaner. Picked a more modern and minimal font, and I fixed the strokes on the peony flower. I think it looks much better now. Dribbble Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
