BlackBolt3 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Another summer, another soccer concept. Looked back through North Carolina's railroad history and included some of those design elements in the crest and secondary logo. All feedback is appreciated.

DTConcepts Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Very professional and very clean. Great job! The incorporation of the train tracks and the mixing of the eagle and train all look really good as well. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

Go Red Sox! Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I like everything except the usage of my most-hated font, Arial, in the circle logo. “Never argue with an idiot!

BlackBolt3 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 I originally used Helvetica Bold, but as I stared at it, something about it seemed off. Personally, I thought Arial looked better, in terms of the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingLamprey Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Fantastic concept, man! I love basically everything about this, though I think a couple things could be changed. I do agree that the Arial looks a little weird on the roundel, but it's hard to tell if the original logo uses that or Helvetica. I think what might make it easier to tell is if you changed the text on the roundel to something like "Carolina RailHawks Football Club" (or Soccer Club, whatever you're going for here) to moreso match the length of the original roundel. Another thing that could change is the Carolina text in the main logo from white to navy, though I'm not totally sure if that'd be a better look over what you currently have. All in all, however, those are two minor critiques on an otherwise fantastic concept. Keep up the good work! Drink water and try to have fun!

Est1980 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Man, that is a definite upgrade! Bravo! My only gripe is the whole ribbon-protruding-the-shield thing that I've grown tired of. I know lots of soccer logos use but man, lets keep it in the shield, or ribbon arch under (style: Stoke), or use more symbolism all together. I'd like to see your logo without the ribbon, and a larger version of the "CR" under that very cool "streaking railhawk". This one is definitely not as bad at all but I feel the protruding ribbon (If I may), interrupts some designs that would be better without them. That being said, this one beats the current with a stick. As for as that font is concerned (the old one in railway logo), isn't that a rounded version of Arial?

The "R" of Arial looks a lot different compared to Helvetica's "R". I also thought it's a rounded typeface, but it's just the blurred image quality that makes the letters look that way. “Never argue with an idiot!
