You're scaring the children. As far as criticism goes, I have some. I apologize if I come across as rude now but I'm going to be honest here. The fonts aren't good. Conrad makes amazing fonts for all to use. Check it out in the Concept Resorces thread (it's pinned). The logos aren't logos. I appreciate the effort but it doesn't work. The example of the Sonic head is great. Utilize that and the correct colours, and I think that would look sharp. The uniform designs aren't great. Some are better than others, but some are random and the colours don't blend together. The execution. Loose pixels, empty space everywhere. There are many good templates around, I can even provide some if you need me to. Take the critism, even if it's rude. Those people will come to. Don't be rude back to them. Trust me, I've been roasted and called out before too. I had some crappy designs that I thought were good, and I paid the price. I left the boards for awhile and now I'm back, with refined skills, and my designs are praised and people help me to be better. Look at my NHL by Adidas thread, my Sens concept received negative feedback, but those people aren't being rude or mean. They're being honest. I appreciate that. If the concept sucks, it sucks. Tell me. Just being rude right back will only aggravate the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujju2 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Now we know not to post on any of his concepts in the future. I give up. This guy doesn't deserve our feedback. BTW, before I leave, message to JLNHLSEGAFAN, I'm the same age as you. So that's no excuse. (Hopefully not) see you later!

First, I will reiterate that negative feedback is not "bad" feedback. To the OP, if you look around these boards, which I again think you should do a bit more, you will realize that the vast majority of threads here do not receive as much negative comments as this one. This doesn't make you or your concepts inherently bad, but there is a lot that can be improved on. The negative comments are from people who both can and want (at least originally) to help you improve. For example, the very fact that you had to tell us what the name and number on Madrid were means that the font doesn't work. Looking at the second set of concepts, I do see some interesting ideas, however, I say again, TAKE IT SLOW. If there is a computer you can use, use it. Use MS Paint or download a free program such as Inkscape. It's what I use. Learn the program, whichever one you use, and make sure the execution meets the standards of the idea. As for fonts, I'd suggest starting with Conrad's thread. Again, we're all here to help you. Look around these boards. Look at (most) professional leagues. I think that will help you most of all. For example, the Reds. Not a bad design overall. Striping suits the city. However, no red. Reds should be red. Make it red. Also, work on execution. That might improve a bit if you use a better program, such as Inkscape or even MS Paint, but you'll still have to work at it. Best of luck, hope you decide to listen to us! I think that's because the skin of Knuckles IS red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being nitpicky, but if you're going to translate to a language, I would strongly suggest changing it to how it is actually said in the language. Try looking at the font he used for the Madrid Psychos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
