Knights Logo Feedback

[drewbothwell 48]

Hey everyone! I've been getting more into the graphic design area of sports and rather than drawing all my logos/uniforms I took a shot at putting one in photoshop. Here is what turned out. I am just looking for feedback and suggestions and might start a fantasy league in the future.

The idea is there, just go to the pencil and paper now. Draw it out using lots of reference images.

I'd extend the snout, a good starting point for what I'm thinking is the NY/NJ Knights logo from WLAF. The jagged portions need to be more rounded instead to give the impression of a chess piece.

Utilize different types of tools on Paint. The lines should be straight and they're still pretty jagged. The outline on the front and back of the horse need to have the same width as well.

Definitely getting better.. like others have said, try using pen and paper.. get a more refined image before going digital with it, particularly if you're stuck in the world of paint.. if you hit a home run with the logo on paper, we can help you get it into the computer.. but make it EXACTLY what you're trying to make it before trying to bend a program to your idea - as it normally works the other way, with your idea bending to the limitations of the program (or your limitations with the program)
