I actually did make a Rapids concept a while back, but I've made a few tweaks to my concept since then, so I'll post how it looks so far... COLORADO RAPIDS Current crest Concept crest It's not that I don't like the Rapids' current logo, but my biggest complaint about it is it's a bit too wordy. It tells more than it shows, if that makes any sense. I figured an emblem based on the Rocky Mountain State's flag would be enough to convey that this is Colorado's team. As for Arsenal, I guess I'll give it a shot, but it won't be easy to top what they have right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenonDesigns Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The rapids look absolutely stunning! Amazing work incorporating the flag and finding a new place for the mountains! I also really like how you kept their current crest shape. Great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahowe6464 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Rapids are great. If you're taking requests, could you do the New England Revolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Here's an old concept I had for a new MLS logo, before they came up with their shield... The rounded hexagon is inspired by the panels on a soccer ball. The groovy shapes inside is actually a highly stylized map of North America, the red part being Canada, the blue being the US sans Alaska and Hawaii. I showed this before, but it wasn't well received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenonDesigns Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The only problem I have with the MLS is logo is how close it resembles dominos. But it I really like the stylized look of the us and Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosiahWVU Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 At first I was like, what is that? Then I read the description and i was like, "That's genius!" Agree with the previous post though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUNKAFIED Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 New England Revolution desperately needs an update. I have seen some awesome concepts for them here, but would love to see your take on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Great idea and I love the stylization of North America. Agree about Dominoes. But nothing says it has to be red and blue. Make at least one of them a different color and I think the Dominoes comparison becomes moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 FC SANTA COLOMA Current Crest Concept Crest FCSC is not a well known club, but in the short 30 years they've existed, they became the strongest club the tiny nation of Andorra has to offer. The dove is an important symbol of the club and the town in which they play, so the bird stayed. Everything else has been simplified. Yellow was taken out because they traditionally wear white primary kits, with red or blue alternates. Sorry it took so long to come back to this. I've been busy with work the past couple months.

BigRed618 Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 HOUSTON DYNAMO Current Concept For these guys, I brought on the tradition started by "Dynamo" teams in Europe by making their logo a big letter D, but with a cool, googie, retro-futuristic twist. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION Current Concept I came up with this one with a little help from one of our more famous Founding Fathers, Ben Franklin. It's semi-common knowledge that he was not pleased with the decision to use the eagle as our country's symbol, going on to state that the turkey, being a "more respectable bird" and a true "Native of America," was a more appropriate choice. Reading his words inspired me to create a sports identity with a patriotic theme with the turkey as the centerpiece, just to see how that would look.

PaperThin Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Interesting idea. Cool way to add the turkey, but it looks like the feathers are coming out of his head. I'd have the feathers coming out from back/shoulder area to make it more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenonDesigns Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Quite an interesting take on the Revs. I like the logo and use of the turkey but whenever I think turkeys and natives my mind goes to the pilgrims. I think this could work if the name wasn't "Revolution." I do like how the feathers look like they come off of the head though as it could be a nod to the tea party where the rebels dressed as natives.

BigRed618 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 I knew you'd get a kick out of that Revs concept. I'll fix it up later, but for now, I want to do one more MLS concept... DC UNITED Current Concept (2013 version) I made this three years ago when DCU was still using that older logo from 1997. I just wanted something involving the DC flag. Recently the Red and Black came up with a new crest, which was an improvement over their old. I wanted to make yet another concept to try to beat it... Concept (2016 version) This is my newest DCU concept. Lately, I noticed, I've been drawing inspiration from other logos in other sports. This concept, for instance, might remind you of the American League logo, which also involves an eagle perched on a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 For my next concept, I go back to Italy! UC SAMPDORIA Current Concept Samp's current logo sort of puzzled me. The team plays in Genoa, a seafaring town, so the team uses a sailor's silhouette as their emblem. Trouble is, the sailor, who I've learned goes by the name of Baciccio, is rather scruffy looking, and is hard to make out with just a profile. I would've never guessed for myself what that shape was supposed to be. So I drew a new logo, adding a little more detail to Baciccio's head. The next problem I try to solve is one a few other soccer teams have... Using more than one logo on the same shirt. In addition to their primary, Sampdoria wears the arms of Genoa, a white shield with a red cross, usually on the chest. Figuring this is an important symbol for the fans, I tried to fit the cross and the sailor on the same logo. I ended up with a sort of double-shield setup. What do you think?

PaperThin Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Baciccio looks a little too cartoonish, I feel like smoothing out the silhouette would make it just as easy to see as a sailor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was going for a cartoony look, like Chief Wahoo or that Irishman on the Boston Celtics logo. Not sure what you mean by "smoothing out the silhouette."

BigRed618 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Quite a list there. I can't promise that I'll fill the whole thing out, but I have a few ideas already on what to do with some of these teams. But first... Jeunesse Sportive Kabylie Current Concept Kabylie is a club operating in the city of Tizi Ouzou, Algeria. They are meant to represent the Kabyle people living in the area. Their main colors are green and gold. I added blue and red as a tie in to the Kabyle flag... The strange lettering on the blue bar is meant to spell out the team name, "JSKabylie," in the native Tifinagh alphabet. So yeah, a lot of story behind this one.

BigRed618 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 BLACKPOOL FC Current crest Concept crest So it's basically an jazzed-up version of the crest they used from '79 and '86, with a slightly more convincing profile of Blackpool Tower. Here's the original for comparison, second from the left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
