wquarton Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hey guys,I've never really been a fan of the montreal impact crest. Find it overly complicated and not as strong as it could be. Was hoping to get your help in refining it and making it as strong as a city with its rich (albeit short) history deserves. I realize this is pretty rough still so I'd love as much input as possible. Trying for something simple yet powerful and keeping with their current colour scheme and general theme(aka fleur de lis)here's my start.any input greatly appreciated.

Jake3roo Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I like it, but I'm not a fan of the font or the gray band covering the outline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouppiHabs Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Use your design on the current sheild and then you got something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wquarton Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Thoughts on this? Still not 100% done I think but starting to come together a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZionEagle Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Better than the first. I don't like how the letters are situated though. Not sure how much I like the font either.Definitely an improvement though "Winners never quit, and quitters never win." ~Vince Lombardi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wquarton Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Slightly different option. Not sure I'm sold on the font either. Might do some hunting... was hoping to find something legible but also sort of ornate looking. also, ignore the little errors for now, I see them, just general thoughts for now, thanks guys(and gals I suppose ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZionEagle Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hmmm...I think that's a bit of a downgrade. The fleur de lis needs to be kept in the middle in my opinion.(and gals I suppose)Haha I don't mind guys, it's a general term really.

sportstar1212 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 It's coming along, though I agree that the fleur-de-lis should be centered. Maybe try the text on top of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wquarton Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Thanks guys. Yeah I'm torn because I like the diagonal text but I agree it looks better with the fleur de lis central and more prominent. I'll experiment. Any other thoughts? Trim? yay/nay? Thought about making the outline follow the trim a bit more(as in the center of the latest few) and possibly adding some sort of trim element to the bottom, it feels a bit empty to me at the moment. Anything else? Sorta trying to evoke the classic french like louis the whatever feel while still keeping it as simple as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1insaneguy Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 use the font from the first version, and you've got a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whittier S Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Agree with 1insaneguy, the font from the very first iteration on the latest iteration, and you're there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wquarton Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 1st font. Kinda liked the last one too, but so people can see all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 What if the monogram wasn't arced? Because there are so few letters, and because the I is so skinny, the arcing looks awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wquarton Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 can easily try it whittier, although i think i did and opted for this, and thanks sportstar! started off pretty terribly but starting to get happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wquarton Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Also the arcing might look a bit off because I had to do it manually(M was way bigger than the I), so maybe I just wasn't quite OCD enough with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
