JB-the-Hunter Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The logo on the top is a logo that a team currently uses, the logo on the bottom is one I made for said team. I was told the logo I made would have to be higher quality than the one they currently have for them to use it. In your honest opinion which logo is better? Is mine really not higher in quality than the one they use now? I'm feeling kinda let down. Alternatively, can you give my bomb logo a critique? Anything I can improve?

Guest darkpiranha Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I like the cleanness of yours, but it's lacking a level of anger and menace that the original has. See if you can incorporate a little bit more of the exaggeration of the mouth in yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goforbroke Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 different people see different things.. your logo is much more modern, clean, etc. more "logo" like. The eyes and mouth could have some more emotion in them, but its a good start. it would re-size well and look good on jersey, field, hats, etc. everything a logo should be. The existing logo is a well rendered cartoon bomb with a face. It has shading and depth, but way too many colors for a "logo" - especially the spark on the wick. Having said that, I can understand someone who isnt in graphic design thinking the existing cartoon is better than your logo because it has more going on and from an untrained eye it looks like it took more skill to make. Probably the best of both worlds would be to reduce the colors and shading on the existing logo, especially in the wick and spark. Use one color blue for the body, one color red for the eyes, and the same solid blue for the wick and same color red for the spark. That logo can and should be done with just black, white, blue, and a red/orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officerpain138 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I agree with everything Go For Broke wrote pretty much. The current logo looks like a cartoon, not a sports logo. Some people don't understand that and would look at your logo next to the current one and think it's a downgrade. I would add more emotion like others said to your logo. Maybe give it some "eye brows" to communicate the anger in the face. The mouth I would do something like a fighter jet mouth. Maybe some changes like that will make them see what a logo should look like, and that the current logo belongs in Super Mario World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB-the-Hunter Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks for the replies, so basically my logo is cleaner and more fit for a sports logo, but it could use a little more of the emotion/exaggeration of the original logo. That's in line with what I was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's in line with what I was thinking. Yes. Be encouraged that you have a good understanding of what a sports logo should be. Now, just focus on the execution a little. Yes, that's the tough part. But I think the fighter jet mouth is a good idea. But yours is much better as a logo. I think the eyes are very good. Perhaps then put the eyebrows mentioned, the fighter jet mouth and a touch of cheekbones, and you should be golden. http://www.dakotapalmhelmets.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worcat Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 some orange stitching on the face and it'd be a very good baseball logo Bleeding Blue since 1986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I can't see the original logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
