biscuit faces of them Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Here's the deal. Leaving the bulls one as just unis. Seeing as I'm doing Motorsports threads I had an Idea. A GT Endurance series in my hometown of San Francisco called the Adidas Nor Cal Endurance Championship. In this logo the colors on the two circles represent the two classes. Green is the SC (Sports Car) and Purple is the GTP (GT Prototype Ill be posting factory teams but will be taking requests on Satellite teams for each of the cars. For those also wondering about WRL. This is a thread to help me hone my Motorsports design skills. definitely will get back to it soon.

PaperThin Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 That's a lot of gradients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieRose Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Your logo needs a lot of work as it stands. The gradients give it a mid-90's effect that doesn't translate to modern design at all. For a modern racing series you want strong, solid colors that compliment each other and contrast well. Look at all the NASCAR series logos and notice how they all utilize minimal colors (ignoring the actual NASCAR logo) and strong use of type. By this, I mean colors like black and yellow for the Sprint Cup logo, for example. For your logo I think sticking to colors like navy, green, and white could begin to pull this together. Think Seahawks sans gray.If you're going to put outlines on the stars or anything else they need to be much thicker. Right now they're just barely there and would be difficult to impossible to distinguish at any smaller size or greater distance.The Barcelona font isn't really working for this. You'd be better off with a more solid font, like Gotham or Futura that could compliment the Adidas logo well.You have the right intentions, you just need to get your execution there.

biscuit faces of them Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Fair. Just testing things out. Ill redo it and see where that goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biscuit faces of them Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Also like i said before. feel free to requests teams not listed Just be sure to include the car (Among the ones listed) team name, # and sponsor (team logos are welcome because it makes it easier instead of googling it). I might release the templates once most of the factory teams are done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan24898 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Definitely an improvement from your previous work. I agree, the gradient does not look good, this would look much better in solid colors. I would probably go purple with a green border. Take out the gradient on the stars as well, and as JimmyN64 said, they need a thicker border. I think the font gets too cluttered with the white border, I think you should take it off and make the font either white or green. Finally, I think it would look better if the Adidas logo was shrunk down enough to fit inside the circle.

But I do get what you are saying. Also I was experimenting with all the fonts I got from @ConradIll revamp and improve on it. Do you have a request for a sattelite team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biscuit faces of them Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Revised logo. I will also make the number plates as well in the near future. And like i said you can request teams not listed for the cars. Don't think I won't take requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThin Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 That's still a lot of gradients, the adidas logo is off center and the colors are just random. Since this is racing championship logo, I'd incorporate something that has to do with racing, like a checkered flag or even have the logo slanted in a way. Right now it doesn't look like it has anything to do with racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midway Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 ^Pretty much this^ take some time to look at other league logos and notice the minimal use of colors and design elements because you're mixing too many ideas hereAlso I'd stick with just one ad sponsor.

CyGuy5 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 That new logo is much better. Maybe do a black font. Also, the Adidas logo is quite off center (make that black too). However, this is much improved then your past work and I look forward to seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biscuit faces of them Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Almost forgot. You kinda can't race without a trackJust to give everyone a heads up. The bleeping inkscape program is not doing the tracing/drawing thing well at all, don't get me wrong I've been improving/Learning but when I want to do one thing it does the complete opposite. GIMP doesn't work on my computer nor does PAINT.net so basically i'm screwed no matter what. I apologize in advance. Hope you like the set. and again FEEL FREE TO REQUEST.

1clkgtramg Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Not trying to come off as an ass or anything but are you ever not going to use gradients? It's not working on any of your designs and although it won't fix the issues you have, it makes it less irritating on the eyes. I'm assuming those strange coloured boxes are seats? If anything should be a gradient it would be those (but please don't). A green or dirt coloured background would make the most sense. I don't see how the program won't allow you the make a continuous line with equal width.I really think you should use a new program instead of always blaming it for issues.

Second on some of the paint schemes I use it for a metal affect. Third this is the first time I have EVER blamed the program for issues and finaly I was trying to create a seating chart with a cool background. Thanks for the input though FEEL FREE TO REQUEST.
