kb105 115 Posted March 27, 2020 I've been drawing logos since I was younger, but only recently gotten into digital design. The many different concepts I've seen I feel has expanded my abilities and has led to me wanting to get some feedback to even better my work. I hope you guys enjoy this and now I present to you, the American Union of Interscholastic Athletics. The first conference comes from the South West, the Colorado Conference (CRC). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kb105 115 Posted March 27, 2020 Colors - Hoodoo Orange - Red Rock - White Logos - Seal is image of Thor's Hammer during a Sunrise/Sunset, with a ribbon displaying the school motto "Research and Discovery", BC for Bryce Canyon, and UT for Utah. The roundel displays the school name with the founding year, 1925, in roman numerals - Primary is the athletics name "GEO" spelled out, with Thor's Hammer as the cut out of the G - Secondary is Thor's Hammer with the Red Rock gradient - Tertiary is a modern take on the school seal, used selectively. Field - Natural grass - Built in 2013 after flaying at nearby Panguitch High School for the first two seasons Uniforms - After a few double-digit win seasons wearing generic orange and white uniforms with blank orange lids, Nike decide to take a leap and sponsor the Hoodoos. They came up with a "modern take on a classic style of uniform", which means they attempted to use block gradients without making it look like the Arizona atrocities from two years previous. This came in the form of using the gradients as rare accents, while letting the school colors of Hoodoo orange and white be the star. With this new look, Nike also design a more "out-there" alternate uniform to worn once a season where all sales are donated to the National Parks service. Court - Built in 1925 as the school cafeteria, it was renovated in the quaint, but loud venue now home to Hoodoo athletics and the famed student section named Canyon Crazies. The court was redesign in 2017 after SkyWest Airlines purchased the naming rights to the arena for $6.3 million a year over 10 years. Uniforms - Yet another Arizona fixer-upper, the basketball team didn't receive new uniforms until 2018, as basketball was lackluster compared to other sports. However, after a surprising run in the 2017-2018 season, where they went into the 32 team tournament as the #32 seed and made it all the way to the championship game, Nike gave them some new duds. As a way of showing how the program had climbed their way to the top, these uniforms emphasize the "staircase effect" seen in the primary "GEO" logo. They also incorporated the gradient as a shoulder harness, like the Arizona ones, but then used it in the site piping in a more subtle way. They also kept the white side panels as a way of tying the new uniforms to the old ones when they reached the championship game. Ice - Middle ice logo ties together the primary and tertiary logos, the two logos the hockey team dons on their chest. Uniforms - Although the football and basketball teams were forced to wear generic uniforms in their rise to prominence, the Hockey team had a long history with Nike from their club sport days. This led to them being Nikes guinea pigs for hockey designs, which resulted in a fair share of both hits and misses. After hockey became a sanctioned sport, Nike let them choose their ensemble of looks from Nike's numerous tinkering's. This led to the adoption of the "Sunrise Helmets", as fans begun calling them, gradient sleeves, and the "Utah Sens" alternate. Field - Completed in 2012, Hoodoos Park originally was planned to house 5,000 fans, but later added a single seat in the home dugout after a senior first baseman tragically died in a snowstorm one month before opening day, which also led to them naming the field J.C Rhemmers Memorial Field Uniforms - When Nike took over, they decided to let the players decide on the alternates. They decided to honor J.C. by donning uniforms inspired by his favorite uniform, the 1995 Detroit tigers alternate, and his favorite type of uniform, sleeveless. Nike took this into consideration when designing both alternates, making both appear sleeveless, while only the Home alt is in a similar style to the aforementioned Tigers jersey. The home and away and the helmets were both carryovers from their club days, however the caps were designed through a fan vote, who voted for the gradient crowns. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleuthpanther 799 Posted March 27, 2020 First of all, love the school name. It can be really difficult to think of original school names, and you've definitely done that. I think the concept will be really polished if you stick to only two of the colors (IMO red rock and hoodoo orange). If you're planning on doing as many schools as I think you are, having more simplified color schemes for each school will help keep each one more unique. You've also picked a really unique nickname, but looks like you've run into a bit of trouble in the logo for it. Picking a logo base solely off a natural land-form will always been tricky, because it ends up looking really blobbish by the end of tracing linework. Run with the hammer thing, but really try to simplify it down to it's key shapes. As well as this, I'd get rid of the text on your primary or secondary. Make the hammer thing the real focal point of the logo, the text will only clutter it. Personally, I think you really have something to work with with your tertiary, go with it! I know I just threw a lot at you, but it's a good start and it will look even better with a bit more polish! Looking forward to what else you come up with 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also lightened the Hoodoo Orange up a bit to create better contrast with the Red Rock.

kb105 115 Posted April 20, 2020 Colors - Blue Gramma - Turquoise - White Logos - Seal: 45-dgree square with Zia sun and Clovis shaking hands - Primary: Stylized Greater Roadrunner - Secondary: Slanted EC NM with side shadow - Tertiary: New Mexico Outline with stacked EC NM inside Field - Artificial Turf - Built in 1989 when they became a state school, Vi Ann's name was added in 1992 after her death. Uniforms - When Nike took over before the 2012 season, they decided to go all in with a Zia sun striping pattern and a Yucca color to replace white. Majority of fans hated the look from the get-go. When the previous coach was fired after the 2017 season, new and current head coach Richard Long sought to return to a more traditional look. Back came white and back came the 1/4-1/2-1/4 striping, well, kind of. Nike decided to have a string look to the stripes as a nod to their founder, Norman Petty, and his famed guitar sound. They settled on 8 "strings" because that's how many stripes ore found in the Zia sun. When they made the switch to Jordan a year later, they introduced a turquoise alternate for a once-a-season game that celebrates the history and culture of Native Americans where the proceeds of corresponding merchandise goes to Nike's N7 Fund. The turquoise uniform elements were also worn for big games throughout 2019, i.e. the game against in-state rival Malpais State and when they battled the Hoodoos for the 2nd place spot in the conference title game. Court - Replacing the old Hatch Athletics Hall in 2015, USEagle Center is home to the Rowdy Roadies student section who keep the atmosphere in "the Aviary" loud and crazy for all sporting events, and the occasional concert. The court got an update in 2019 when they rebranded. They went for a traditional look, minus the fading gradient area inside the arc and the southwestern inspired wood grain. Uniforms - Much like the football team, they have a more traditional look. They had to wait a year longer than football for when the school completely phased out yucca when they switched to Jordan. They decided to go for a 3/4 framed striping pattern in order to set themselves apart from other teams in the conference with side paneling. The turquoise set is also apart of the Nike N7 initiative, and has the side stripe on the left to symbolize Clovis being the archeological heart of the Clovis Culture and the first inhabitants of the Americas. Uniforms - Not becoming a varsity sport until after attempting to join the FCS in 1999, the original uniforms very much resembled the times. They continued to have "unique" uniforms through their Nike days with Zia yokes paired with traditional hem striping, and matching turquoise helmets and pants. Luckily, when Jordan rebranded them, they dropped the style mixture and settled for a somewhat traditional look. Like the other sports, they use the stringed stripe on the hem and pants, although they maintained the yoke from the previous set, now a solid color going the length of the arms. Field - Being the newest baseball park in the conference, having been built just prior to the 2020 season, A.R. Smith Stadium was named after Pixar co-founder Alvy Ray Smith, who grew up in western Texas and New Mexico and provided 45% of the $50 million raised for the stadium. Uniforms - After wearing yucca and half Zia underlines for nearly a decade, ECNM baseball christened it's new ballpark with more classic pinstripes. The slightly arched wordmarks and the "half string" piping adds to the look. In addition, they debuted a faux-back that features a thick turquoise collar and stripe down the front. They did a good job of rotating the two home hats between the two looks along with wearing the all blue caps with each uniform. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleuthpanther 799 Posted April 27, 2020 As much as I love the idea of a coati face logo, I think your coati paw is a lot stronger. They are an EXTREMELY hard animal to duplicate just because they look so odd. If you flip the paw to the primary, which I see that it is already being used a lot more than the face, I think the overall package will be improved. I'd also beef up some of the linework on that face logo as well, but overall another really fun look! IMO coatis are one of the more underappreciated southwestern critters I can think of, glad to see them represented 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kb105 115 Posted May 6, 2020 The sister school to BYU, Deseret University ... Colors - Deseret Blue - Honeybee Yellow - White Logos - Seal: State of Utah beehive, seven point star to represent religion and God - Primary: Similar to BYU's "Y-oval" logo. D surrounded by seven 7-pointed lines - Secondary: Honeybee which represents the missionaries that Deseret's student population consists of, also references what Deseret means, Honeybee - Tertiary: 7-pointed star Football: Field - Classic field design to match classic uniforms. Stadium built in years leading up to football teams debut in 2011. Uniforms - When Deseret and UA was coming up with the uniforms leading up to the first season. They decided to look at some of the most iconic uniforms in American football, landing on Notre Dame and the Dallas Cowboys. They came up with golden lids and golden pants with throwback Cowboys numbers. In 2015, UA added seven sublimated stripes to the helmets and shoulder caps. Basketball Court - The Ebe Pavilion was originally built as the school auditorium, which was replaced in 2003 and was converted in 2010. The court borrowed from the simplicity of Duke's classic court design, having been the same since 2011. Uniforms - Like with football, basketball emphasized a classic look with pinstripes and DESERET across the chest. Hockey Uniforms - The hockey uniforms kept the seven stripes and looked towards the Ottawa Senators "O" jersey. The home and away first saw play in the first season, while the alternate was first warn in 2017 and maintained the seven stripes on the sleeves, but excludes any white, and was an attempt at a fauxback. Baseball Field - Also built in 2010, the field crew went through many field designs over the first few years until settling on the simple 7-pointed star in the outfield. Uniforms - The uniforms originally were plain and only had the seven stripes on the socks. In 2013, UA added the seven stripes onto all four jerseys. The yellow hat can be worn with either alternate jerseys and the blue can be worn with all. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
