djbxxi Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I hope I'm posting this in the correct place. My fantasy football league is looking for a new logo. I'm stuck between the two of these. I need help picking the one that looks the best.A little background about the logo. First, I wanted to do some sort of shield logo. Second, my high school mascot is the wolverines. So, I wanted to incorporate that in the logo too. I used the Michigan style helmet with my high school colors.Please let me know which one is better or if I should scrap the whole thing and start over. Thanks!1.2.

davidmiller5 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I like the bottom one better, but I don't like the font. Stencil fonts look good in some applications but not when the letters get small. Try something similar-looking except without stencil breaks.

MJWalker45 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Try All State font. It's one of Conrad's creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djbxxi Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 I used the same font without the stencil. I also added 2 more "laces" to the top of the logo. The red dashes are meant to symbolize the laces of a football. I believe there are 7 spaces on the laces. How does this look? Is something missing from the background behind the helmet or by the words Ellwood City? I also don't like the spacing in the word "Fantasy". Something with the letter A in that word.

Guest darkpiranha Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I see what you're going for with the minimalist Wolverine's helmet, but I don't think it's coming across as easily as it could. I have to really look at it to see the helmet shape. Right now, I see a bunch of white shapes. The Wolverine part of it looks more like buildings or something rising up from a hillside. Because the stripes get cut off by the banner, our brains don't automatically finish the shape like we would if the stripes were able to continue and fully conform to the shape of a helmet. With that in mind, what does it look like if you just shrink the helmet enough to make it a full helmet? Alternately, have you tried it where the facemask is essentially the bottom part of the shield (replacing the shield) and the Wolverine stripes emerge from the top? So you'd have the banner kind of like it is, with the mask and Wolverine shapes extending above and below forming the shield (with "Elwood City) placed inside the forehead part of the Wolverine stripes.

djbxxi Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 After some debate, this is the logo we are settling on. I moved the stars, fixed the weird spacing, and kept the stencil font. Thanks for the feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I like it.. My brain absolutely read it as a Michigan style helmet immediately.. Not necessarily the helmet I'd prefer, but if this is what y'all like, then I think it's well executed and looks great.. Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
