FGWB Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hey all. As one who is a self-proclaimed "logo nerd," I could list off some random facts behind many logos, but when it comes to making my own sports logo, it's tough. With that said, I wanted to make an original jackalope logo, and this is what I've got. I switched the buckteeth in the sketch to the bottom part of the mouth for the final product because I felt as though the teeth were too beaver-like. I also can't help but feel as if it also looks too much like a dog rather than a rabbit with antlers. Maybe I just need some fresh eyes and fresh input on it. PS, I think I channeled my childhood love of the Sabres' goathead logo into the creation of this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoe12 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Great start! There's just a couple of things that I would change. 1. I think you lost some of the character when you digitized the logo, specifically in the eyebrow and the teeth. Curving the eyebrow like in the sketch and adding back the teeth would help it to look more like a rabbit. 2. The gap between the cheek and the ear is too small, I'd either bring them together so the black parts connect, or separate them so the gap is slightly more significant. 3. I don't think you need a white outline, you'd be fine moving the red in one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGWB Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Thank you, jmoe. I've adjusted the eyebrow and tried to reincorporate the teeth. I think I need to step away from it for a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben5 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I really like the latest update. The only thing that comes to mind is that now you are using five colors: white, black, light grey, dark grey, and red. I think you can combine both greys and still have what you are looking for.

Seso Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Awesome progress. If you are using illustrator, I would definitely pinch in the corner anchors to make sharp points – like on the nose and the fur/ears. Right now, some of the corners are a little soft. It'll feel more aggressive if they came in a little sharper. OFFF Season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The antlers look a bit too "reindeer" or "moose" for a jackalope.. I think slightly thinner, a touch smaller, and more deer-like would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyCynic Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Some more definition on the left antler would be ideal. You've done a great job with them bu having the left one in solid black makes the logo look unbalanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I'd make the antlers skinnier. That's the general look for a jackalope. It looks like he has moose antlers rather than deer antlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
