wquarton Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hey guys, thought I'd do a redesign for an old Toronto based team, the Toronto Blizzard. They had a few different crests throughout the years, all of which were god-awful, and theres been rumours of a second team in toronto, so I thought this was a natural choice. Thanks for the feedback as always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.Tom.P Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Great motif. I am curious to see what it would look like with the B in the middle of the snowflake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wquarton Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 or just without all the backgroundthink this looks pretty sharp, and for torontonians probably more important to have the T central Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wquarton Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 annnnnd I'm dumb. Should have known the white wouldn't show up on the background. and now i'm basically spamming this site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wquarton Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 K think this is the final version. Sorry to spam but I couldn't not post this one. Took the last one and put it back on a crest to make it soccer-y cause I know y'all folks love that. Cheers - theres a white outline on this but it doesn't show up on this - imagine its there if you picture it on navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaRed Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I think the final crest looks awesome! Great work. I would just go in and fix the deets a bit. Like on some of the snowflake points...they don't line up. I would also maybe fix the top of the T where it curves down on the left / right overlapping the snowflake... which creates the tiny slivers of dark blue. You could just hide those. That's just minor stuff though. Great concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wquarton Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 ah yea, thanks for pointing that out. I'll fix that up . Will you be a blizzard fan? Toronto needs two teams . If new york gets two toronto should have two. They aren't better than us. Partially tongue and cheek but I think I'll actually get some shirts made up to sow the seeds haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PardonTheAmbush Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm actually okay with the original Blizzard Crest. I used it as a base for my upcoming NBA 2K Pro Am Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujju2 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I have to admit, that last one's not that bad. It makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wquarton Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 The last one isn't terrible, but its not great either. at least in my opinion, Not necessarily saying mines better(although at this point I think the last one is), just saying I think it could be better.

PardonTheAmbush Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Nah. I edited it and used the crest as a wordmark/secondary logo. *Disclaimer: I'm new to this concept stuff and only use basic MS Paint and GIMP. I'm not an expert by any means.I've since abandoned this one. The snowflake was a horrible idea on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PardonTheAmbush Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 This hideous thing?I question if that thing is real. It's actually the Green Bay Blizzard's logo edited into a roundel.I used it, too, but edited the crap out of the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wquarton Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 ah well fair enough. Saw it on google images and didn't really question. And pardontheambush, your edit looks better than the original already, but it still looks tacky to me(nothing personal). Call me biased but I prefer mine Was the third one supposed to be shaped like the CN tower or something? Is that what I'm missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancouverFan69 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 This hideous thing?Surely not this?Or perhaps this. Either way, I don't understand you as a human being.Love the bottom version. Just transfer the red and blue from the original NASL crest to the CN Tower-snowflake crest. Double blue belongs to the Whitecaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wquarton Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Really? ? The concept's not bad I'll admit, but just changing up the colours to me doesn't seem quite as good as it could be. The CN tower shaped snowflake is decent though. The red and blue just, I dunno, reminds me of Dairy Queen or something. And the soccer ball is extremely tacky. It has potential, but just changing the colour isn't enough to make solid. At least IMO. And is it really double blue, or is it navy and white? I'm a caps fan too, but this is for the good of soccer in Canada. If you have an alternate colour scheme that works for blizzard I'm all ears but the red and blue as is, is bad. Like I don't know I just don't see it. Do people actually like the original blizzard logo?? It just looks like a kids team to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red looks great on Toronto while both Vancouver and Montreal wear blue. The shield gives it a soccer look. It's right up there with the Whitecaps' '79 crest. I would just change the format of the wordmark and have it spread out like the current TFC wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wquarton Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 this one? It's not bad. A little retro for my liking, but much better than the old blizzard one IMO. Still prefer the current though(caps), its sharp.But to each his own I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have to make this transparent, but I think you get the idea.Thanks for interpreting it as the CN Tower. Haven't even thought of it that way.
