BigRed618 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I know I speak for a lot of people when I say the Wildcats need an actual cat logo to go with their LA monogram, so I came up with a few concepts for one... I had heard that the team was almost called the Wildfires, but the brass came to its senses just in the nick of time. I figured if I made a wildcat logo with some subtle fiery imagery mixed in, that would result in a more unique identity. I made two versions of a side-facing cat, and one front-facing one. Let me hear your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk-Off Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 The forward-facing logo concept looks like an attempt to turn the emblem of the gone-but-not-forgotten Hartford Whalers into a wildcat's head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeskinner Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I really like the concept (top left especially) but I'm getting a bit of bird vibe. Possibly it needs a little bit of a forehead and the ears pointing a bit more upwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvk Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 The two side facing are nice but look too much like the NY Guardians logo. Wouldn’t be as much of an issue if it wasn’t just an 8 team league at this point, but can’t have 2 of 8 being that similar, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that logic, we can’t have a front-facing animal either because it would look too much like the Vipers. Like you said, though, this won’t be a problem later on if the league survives long enough to get some expansion teams in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The side view wildcat with the lines and the mouth open looks very similar to the Guardians logo. Again, in a 24+ team league it wouldn’t be a huge deal but branding in a 8 team league should be unique. On its own, it’s a well crafted logo, for sure.

Anyway, I fixed up my cat some more... As requested, I gave him more of a snout and moved his ears up a bit, so he’s less likely to be mistaken for a bird. Added some extra flame effects too.

the_grateful_ted Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 a more defined nose and maybe some whiskers would make it seem less bird like. Also, did you have a specific animal in mind when you were making this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
