Lumbergh Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 This was a concept I designed for the 1st event of the recent Logolympiad. A pacer is also known as a harness horse, which is a big thing still in Indiana in harness racing. I designed it to blend the history of the state into the current look of the "P" logo, with similar motion lines and such. I may end up revisiting this and making changes, but this is something I am just posting for fun: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 This is a nice horse drawing. I would agree it is tough to combine sports for a logo. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The work itself is very well rendered, and in a vacuum, I would say it's perfect. But I had a couple of issues that kept me from voting for it. First, as a native Hoosier--albeit from the city--I never made an association between harness-racing and Pacers, or Indiana, for that matter. In fact, the only harness-racer I've ever known was from Illinois. So I didn't vote for it in part because I didn't see the connection--not that there isn't one, it just didn't fit my experience. Part of the challenge with Logolympiad is that we can't write up our thought process during the competition. But a bigger reason I didn't vote for the logo is that the flow felt more like a football logo than a basketball logo, I guess because the long horizontal orientation would look great on a helmet. I would experiment with cropping that back and working the Pacers striping into the mane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumbergh Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 very insightful, I have thought that perhaps changing this into another sport logo could work. I might consider doing that and also playing with the colors. this would look good on a helmet I think too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecgoff Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 This would be a great logo for Murray State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrcollis714 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I like this, and I almost would like to see it as the primary. That would make the Pacers brand more unique.
