Morgan33 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I really like that Jets logo in the classic colour scheme. Would love to see it on a uniform concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest_surfer Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Lightning: Honestly something's missing from this one, but everything I add makes it look worse so I decided to ask you all what you think. the L works pretty good but it seems empty. Again, these aren't really meant to replace the logo front of the jersey, most are meant to be shoulder patches, but this one feels empty. Wordmark: I thought trying to make it a wordmark would work a little bit better, and it does in some aspects, but it feels really empty still. Canadiens: I took the Fleur from the Montreal flag and tried to turn it in to an "M"which I think works pretty well, but I do think it needs some more polishing. I don't really like this better than their current logo but I think something like it could work as a shoulder patch 1: 2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkychewbarky Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Some real good stuff here, Midwest. All are very clever concepts... some just need a bit of tweaking. - I think that the keystone shape works great with robo-penquin - The treble clef logo is is a VERY cool idea...maybe just simplified a bit, although as-is, it's got a nice classic feel to it. - The Jets logo is one of the best that I've seen - The Toronto flag-leaf is a great concept. Maybe ditch the blue outline and let the white "T" just bleed to the perimeter - I don't know why, but the Wild really suits a "heritage" style, and that roundel is a beauty example. - How would the lightning "L" look with a silver drop shadow to the right? - I like the winged fleur-de-lis, although I don't think that Montreal would go that route because of the Nords. Nicely shaped logo though. Overall, some very interesting, good concepts here...keep it coming! *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silver drop shadow is a pretty good idea, I'll give that a shot. Yeah I kinda want these logos to be more representative of the area, so for the most part I am trying to pull stuff from flags, history, local icons and stuff like that when I can. I just pulled the fleur straight from the provincial flag and only after that did I think about the Nordiques. I think Montreal's flag is a little too detailed to implement well in a logo and I haven't been to Quebec so I will have to do a little more research on local icons when I revise that one. Afterthought; take a look at Tampa's flag to see why I avoided that like the plague Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest_surfer Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Dallas update I took their old star logo and updated the colors and added a recolored Texas flag. Then I removed the wordmark and had the star go through the middle of a D in the same style as the other letters 1: 2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krz Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 This needs more black and some green around the logos that's one reasons (IMO) why there current set works Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest_surfer Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 I'm back after a bit of a hiatus with my redesign for the Wings. I think this would work really well as a shoulder patch. The Spirit of Detroit is a great statue in the city and I think it works really well with wings. I feel like I should add something in his hands but I am not sure what I would put there. As always C and C is always appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midwest_surfer Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 I have had this Preds logo in my back pocket for a little while now, its super simple and is kind of a combination of their shoulder patch and chest logo. I plan on doing another one for the Preds as well but I thought I'd post this one just to get an idea of what you guys think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest_surfer Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have attempted to make the Wings one more art-deco since Detroit seems like a vey Art-deco city. At least that was the impression left on me when I visited. Admittedly Art Deco style is something I am not super familiar with so if anyone has any suggestions I’d appreciate it.

Midwest_surfer Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 I revised the Jets logos to fill some space based on some of the response I got. I used the font from their 90's logo with a few adjustments here and there. Old school: New: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Midwest...I'd say that your illustrator skills are pretty darn good...nice crisp clean lines...I like this Detroit concept. It would make a great secondary, or promotional logo. I don't think that you need the "ray-lines"...google "art-deco wings"... maybe the wings could be simplified a bit as a backdrop to the main figure...nice work! *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect the thought behind the current one, but it's just so boring, and this has so much character. THIS logo deserves to be a Stanley Cup winner at least once.

Midwest_surfer Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Panthers: I’ve been trying to come up with something for the Panthers for weeks now, and this is all I could come up with. It’s a start, but I can’t even really say it’s my own since the panther was pulled right off their shoulder patch. Fact is, I can’t do better than the existing shoulder patch on the Panthers jersey, it’s just perfect in every way IMO. So then I thought about trying for a main chest logo, keeping their sort of military thing they’ve got going on but I couldn’t find any retro-ww2 nose art reference images I liked so that’s staying in my back pocket for now. Then I thought about promotional logos and I think I came up with something. Not sure how it would be used but here it is Bruins: I love the Bruins set but I really want them to bring brown back. So I took their current B spokes logo, changed it to dark brown and put a bear in the middle. I think this could work well as a shoulder patch on a 3rd jersey Lightning revision: I added some shadows and I think I’m on the right track with this one As always, any C&C is appreciated.

Panthers...I looked over a whack of retro aviation logos for my "Aces" project. The only image that comes to mind that might work would be a "panther-ized" version of the famous "Flying Tiger" insignia.... Although maybe not a primary logo, (a little too literal) that Florida logo is still pretty nice. You're right; perhaps a promo logo. Bruins...That's one of the better Boston "Bear" logos that I've seen...nice! Lightning...Yes, you're on the right track. The Lightning could/should work a metallic silver into their colours...'twould look pretty decent and set it apart from the "Leafs" a bit. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest_surfer Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Back again after a while away. I think there’s a distinct lack of negative space utilization in NHL logos since the Whalers left so I tried to add and anchor in to this Islanders logo, but I think it kinda looks like a devil tail. C+C is appreciated as always. Edit: it also occurs to me just now that the right arm of the Y is annoyingly a little bit shorter than the left arm. I’ll fix that when I get home.
