Wgeddes122 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I posted a new man city logo a while back and this got me started on trying to create new crests for teams in order to give them a look that is traditional and modern. This is my crest for arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wquarton Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Pretty damn sharp. Not sure if I prefer it to the current one, but the fact that I'm even wondering is a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberwolf Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I like it a lot! Being an Arsenal faithful, I wouldn't mind at all this as a new crest. A couple things...I think the motto at the bottom looks squished and too hard to read. Make that bigger with the banner and that would improve the look a lot.Shift the cannon down an inch or two, it's a bit empty between the bottom symbols and the cannon right now...I'd rate it a 8/10 right now, change this things ^^ and it would instantly leap to a possible 10. Great work, wgeddes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 As an Ashburton Grove season ticket holder, I like it. A lot. Couple things - the "ornate elements" were ermine. Doesn't make sense if it's just one. If you must have something there, and I think it's a good idea, keep looking. The Art Deco crest is probably too busy to stick in there, but there's got to be some symbol that will work. Also, I don't think the motto fits very well in your banner. There's got to be a way to make them relate better, maybe re-draw the banner. I think your simple crest would benefit from a less-complicated banner anyway. The second image has the team name in gold - I think it's much stronger in white. Overall, great job! The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

OmegaRed Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I really like the simplicity of this.The only thing I might look at is the way the banner is set. As mentioned by Gothamite, the way it's flowing kind of clashes with the crest. Almost like the curve isn't quite there.Maybe a horizontal banner above the crest would do the trick....or you might not even need the banner at all.

Wgeddes122 Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 For the ermine I wanted to use it, but having more than one makes it to busy and detracts from the rest of the crest. You can have one, it does make sense. For the banner I get what people are saying. I think I might of been trying to get it more like the banner in the old crestFor the name, the Arsenal word mark is in white I don't what you're talking about in terms of it being gold unless you are talking about the old crest that I put there for reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenonDesigns Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The banner and the element at the bottom really bring the entire crest together. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wgeddes122 Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Here is an updated version, with an updated banner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrcollis714 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 This is really nice. I love how it is similar to the great current one, but still incorporates history to make an awesome design. Good work.

billc52865 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Mistakes:1. Last word of the motto is mispelled.Correct spelling is CRESCIT.2.No white trim on cannon.3.Cannon positioned too high.4.Motto doesn't fill the length of the banner.5 Shield needs white trim around it.

Wgeddes122 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 I purposely didn't put white trim in the shield and the cannon. It's not a mistake The motto does fit on the updated logo as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word02 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I like it a lot! Only thing I would change is the "arsenal" font. needs more modern sporty look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wgeddes122 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 The font is like the one they currently use but a little toned down. A modern sporty don't, NO!, it wouldn't fit with the crest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoHyphenE Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I understand that it comes from the older crest but the shaping of that banner just doesn't look good. Something close to stoke or west ham would be more pleasing to the eye because this one is too awkward looking. I agree with what others have said that you should try and shift the cannon down a tad to fill the space more evenly. If you don't want to do that, you could possibly try to put the banner on top of the crest in that open space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wgeddes122 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Here is an updated logo. I made a new banner and corrected the typo. Also the banner is placed over the shield which should sort out the location of the cannon and the gap between it and the bottom of the shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wgeddes122 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Here are the kits that I have made for Arsenal. I always feel that Arsenal is a team that has kits that really dont need a lot of design elements, that in most cases the simple looks are the classic ones, it seems color choice is more important to create a great look for Arsenal, so thats what I tried to do.Home kit- classic red and white with gold accents.Away kit- yellow and blue kit like that of the away kit that was worn during the invincible seasonThird kit- black and white kit as a throwback to the away kits that the team wore in their early years as Woolwich Arsenal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
