Brian in Boston Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 1) Seattle Sea Lions - Rendered in the Brown/Tan/Powder Blue/White color scheme, your Seattle Sea Lions primary mark strikes me as being the most dynamic and "major league" of the bunch.2) Seattle Metropolitans - As I've said elsewhere, your Metropolitans identity says "major league" and "traditional" without coming across as stodgy. I love its iconic simplicity.3) Seattle Totems - While your Totems marks are strong as is, I think that they could use a bit more work. Right now, I get a slightly runic, ancient Scandinavian vibe from the design. I'd like to see that taken in a direction more clearly influenced by Coast Salish art. To that end, I'd also be interested in seeing the color scheme changed from Deep Green/Neon Green/White to Black/Red Ochre/Deep Teal/White. Short of a redesign of the logos, I feel that if your existing Totems marks were rendered in the Black/RedOchre/Deep Teal/White color scheme, the result would be a "Top 3" identity package for the NHL in Seattle.

woody86 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 A great series! I asked my wife, who lived a couple years in Seattle, what concept looked most "Seattle." For logos, the Metros wins out. For total concept, the sockeyes and the sea lions seem to both be winners. Those are my top 3! #happywifehappylife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it was gonna be The Seattle Battle Cattle, just for fun... but with the weather getting better (I work at an outside job), things are going to get pretty busy, so I'll have enough to try and finish, with the 9 concepts that I have. 8 hours ago, John King said: You should do a logo/ concept for Seattle Sasquatch If I get the time I wouldn't mind trying that John.

There are so many amazing things about the scope and variety of looks included. Mets - I think the two color palette is great and I really like the primary. The secondary feels maybe a little over designed. I think it might immediately read cleaner with the removal of a couple of lines. Sawbucks - Very clean logo, look. My favorite thing is the faux plaid jersey template. Pilots - Really nice logo set. I know you were playing around with one color. Maybe a steel blue, evoking the color of an aircraft carrier? The current color scheme isn't jumping out at me but there's a lot of good stuff here. Evergreens - The squirrel is awesome but the primary doesn't jump out at me. It's functional but I don't see it exciting a market. Like I couldn't see myself buying a shirt with the logo. Sea Lions - Love the logos. The teal is the strongest color scheme, Sharks be damned. Emeralds - Dude. That frog. I would buy every piece of merchandise with the frog. But the only logo in the set I do not like is the primary. It doesn't really read as EC to me. Have you tried an S in a similar design? Totems - Really digging it. The S is such a nice logo. I would be very happy with this look. Sockeyes - That color scheme is dynamite and I love the Native American influences in the logos. Possibly my favorite. Kraken - The primary is awesome. The secondary maybe feels redundant. It's another trident but not as strong of a trident as the primary. It's a banner but the primary just does all the ideas better. It feels uninteresting compared to a strong primary. gain, just incredible work overall. Thanks for the detailed response, mania. You make a lot of good observations. -might be hard to reduce the lines in the Mets secondary because it's 2 crossed hockey sticks with the letter "M" -A steel blue with the black'n brown would look good...I'll try it -The frog's a lock, but yes, the primary needs a tweaking -I'm going to re-work the Totems with a more authentic Salish look -The Sockeyes' colour scheme is one of my faves too...I'm going to try it out on some of the other themes -Yes...maybe 1 trident too many on the Krakens uni *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Brian...I'm going to act on your advice...rework the Totems logos...and here's the Sealions in blue and brown... ...and with the tan logo... *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianLion Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I figure that Seattle has to have some form of green in their color scheme. Also I'd like to see the Sea Lion in black (as they appear IRL). Was wondering if you could whip up a green primary/black secondary Sea Lions set with perhaps another offset secondary like cream or light blue?

jdavidev Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Sea Lions logo is the best, and it seems to work in any color scheme. Would love to get the Brown/Red or Brown/Light Blue into the NHL, but that Burnt Orange/Teal/Black looks nice as well. Going into it, I thought Double Green was the only way to go, now, not so sure. Brown would be super unique and with Teal, Peach as the secondary, it wouldn't be so Mystery Alaska drab (like the Pilots one looks). If only we could get Purple into the NHL color wheel...
