Go Red Sox! Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 An almost six-month old project that I haven't even posted here thus far: new grizzly, new colors, new identity for the ECHL's Utah Grizzlies. “Never argue with an idiot!

vtgco Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Looks great! I love that new wordmark with the scratches and the addition of trees. I'm also happy to see the removal of the obnoxious hockey stick. Did you consider keeping the forest green rather than kelly? I feel that green is a bit too bright. The new bear is a huge improvement but it feels a tad like the head is too separate from the body. That's kinda minor, though. A really good job, and way better than the original!

Krz Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Wow that old bear is just a lump of fur, good improvement! Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placebo Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 This is excellent. The grizzly looks cocky...in a good way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplashBoogie Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I like this. It's a solid upgrade over the existing mark. Would you put the full logo on the front of the jerseys or would there be a partial instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleclock Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 It’s a good looking bear, but it doesn’t really look like a grizzly. I’d take a look at some reference images of grizzlies standing at full height and pay close attention to the thickness of the neck and shoulders.

jaha32 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Nicely done. The green eyes are a nice touch and the wood-like lettering is appropriate. The only alteration I would suggest has to do with the green outline. It is overly prominent and distracting in the area that separates the shoulders from the forest and mountains. Is there any way to lessen the outline above the two shoulders? I just have a thing against outlines within a logo but overall this is another great work.

Point1 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 It does have a kind of teddy bear vibe to it. Maybe roughing it up a bit would change that? I think the smoothness of it is throwing me off. Technically extremely well-done though of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Looks good in a vacuum, but I don't know how well it’d look on the front of a jersey. Maybe stick with either the word mark or the bear on their own and try that out, keeping the current design as a secondary mark. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

I don't think it's too bright. It's a loud color, but since it's just an accent color on uniforms, it's okay to me. I like some strong color contrast.

Think it looks better now! 23 hours ago, Zeus89725 said: Looks good in a vacuum, but I don't know how well it’d look on the front of a jersey.

If I had to create uniforms (but I won't), I would only use the bear's head with that green outline. “Never argue with an idiot!

FUNKAFIED Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Someone needs to send this to the organization. The old Grizzlies logo was bad even BEFORE they relocated to Utah. I love the bright green. It's a fantastic accent color to pop against the black and browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've chosen a bright, loud green, since I absolutely dislike that muddy and dark shade that they're currently using. In my view, accent colors can and should pop sometimes, especially when most colors within a scheme are dark and/or lowly saturated. “Never argue with an idiot!
