next_gen_uniforms Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hey guys, with the news of Army switching their name back to the Cadets, I decided to create some concepts for their rebrand. Below is a logo sheet and I will post some more alternate logos when I finish them. The first logo is a modernization of the helmet and sword on their current school crest and the word mark is based off of the classic stencil design. Any C&C is appreciated, Enjoy!

gmoore1203 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Looks good so far, no complaints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdougfresh Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'll be straight with you (and I realize this is based on a pre-existing mark, but the point still stands) -- it looks like a sword piercing the front of a helmet. The rendering is well done, but it just doesn't say 'sports' or 'winning' to me. Some simplification and aggression (by using less complex shading and adding some movement) would go a long way here IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I've never ever seen sword as piercingthe helmet.. But I guess I can see where you could view it as such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I might try to abandon the medieval theme for the logo since the definition of cadet is a student at a military school. Not really in the same realm as a team such as the Trojans or Spartans whom this logo would look good for. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL_ArchMadness Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Looks too much like a drawing instead of a sports logo. Needs thicker, more aggressive lines. http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/98633-2014-nfl-concept-expansion-series-dallas-cowboys/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'd put it back inside a shield and go with something similar to the shield the Jaguars use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Maybe go for a jazzed-up version of this? http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/7309/Army_Black_Knights/1950/Alternate_Logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean17 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I agree w/ BigRed618. They seem to want rid themselves of the medieval theme. A flashier version of the mule would seem to be the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suplauren Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Totally agree that it looks like the helmet has been stabbed in the forehead. I like the wordmark, though the stenciling doesn't really fit with the ancient style helmet, and "Cadets" seems a little tilted to one side. I think you should also thicken up the outlines for the wordmark a little. laurenlogos.tumblr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
