hettinger_rl Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Yes! It is a horse/D combo! I made the D more western and made the horse look less "noodly". Let me know what you think (preferably be C&C). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpygremlin Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 The size of the D versus the size of the horse are off. The D looks too big relative to the horse, which makes the horse inside look too small. It gets worse because the horse's head and legs look too big for the body. That said, I like where you're going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I like where you're going. This was an observation I was concerned about. It's not that the horse is "small" compared to the D or "Large" compared to other body parts, so much as that part of it's body is blocked by the left side of the D. The old logo looked terribly mal-nurished because they just tried to keep the horse's back away from the left side rather than deal with this kind of issue. Horses rarely get so vertical as the old logo suggests. My horse is in a more natural pose. So without the visual information of the horse's back your eye may see the vertical part of the D and interpret it as the horse's back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 If you look at the image you posted, that horse on the left resembles the actual D/horse logo much more than your logo does. The horse is straight up vertical.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tygers09 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I'm a die heart broncos fan; and although I understand the how important the horse- D logo is to the team's history, I still prefer the current horse head logo. But good job on the logo though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YelichGraphics Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I love the D keep it, the jaw seems a little too circular and large like a squirrel with nuts in its mouth id suggest reducing the blue shadow on that. Also the eye seems too proportional as well. It has a very realistic size. Enlarging the eye a tad to give it a more logo like feel will definitely help.

DTConcepts Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 The D is perfect, but yeah, the body of the horse is too small. That's the only change that really needs to be made here. Other than that, it's perfect. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Htown1141 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Not gonna lie, this is probably the only time I've ever was less than stunned at your designs. IMO, your horse reminds me of a more of a Shetland pony than it does a bronco, and I think the western-style D is a bit too T H I C C for my tastes, at least compared to the horse. I have a dribbble!

panthers_2012 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The updated logo looks a lot better than the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Something still feels off about the horse's body, but I can't put my finger on it. The outlined 'D' is nice, and it looks more consistent with the outline on the inside, too. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

seasaltvanilla Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I like it a lot. I wonder if it would still look good without the shading: right now it seems a tad too complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Despite the photo reference, in your logo the horse feels like it's falling forward. Stuck somewhere between jumping through the D and standing tall in it. You can fix it in a number of ways, your choice. Either 1) :censored: the head back a bit to make it more clear that it's upright and intends to be upright, 2) rotate the entire body back so that it's standing straight up like in the original, or 3) give it a more forward motion so that it appears to be jumping through the D. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldconcepts Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 As usual, each update has this looking better and better. What would the horse look like with an orange mane? Twitter: @ldconcepts / Instagram: @ld.concepts / Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCM0313 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I love the Western D. It looks like it would fit with the Broncos' pre-1997 script logo. However, while the OG Bronco-through-the-D was too vertical, yours didn't look vertical enough, at first. It looks better with the adjustments you've made, to the point where I don't even notice the former issue with verticality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TShaw528 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I think the neck/face, especially around the cheek, make the horse look kinda fat. Other than that I like it a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
