hettinger_rl Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I decided to get a concept going (like so many others) for the LA Rams. I used the vintage look from 51-82 as a starting point and used some reference images of bighorn sheep (even though the vintage look seems more like a domestic sheep). Just done in pencil for now, digital to come later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-mer Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 oh nice. I saw this on twitter and didnt realize it was you. I love this so far. It's a great ram logo. I want to use it for a fantasy hockey team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'villejags Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Wow! Beautiful work, as always. I think the strength/aggression of a ram is missing from what they came up with, and it works really well here. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. You can make out the top of a stylized A from the eye. Adding LA in the ram head would probably feel forced, but it would be interesting to have a secondary 'LA' logo using this styling to pair with the ram head.

Blitz Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Well, the Rams certainly could have used your help 2 years ago when the design process started... Very nice concept here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hettinger_rl Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Thank you to everyone for the comments! Feels great to hear those things based off of small pencil drawing alone. That said, I hope the enthusiasm continues with the next step: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'villejags Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Yes please! This is so good. What was your thought process on the left-facing orientation? The Eagles and Bengals (secondary) are the only two I can think of with logos that face left. I like how match-ups would look with the ram ready to butt heads with any of these other logos.

While the idea of opposition to the majority of other NFL logos does intrigue me, the orientation was more influenced by the fact that the Rams' logos from 46-69 were left facing. I agree that matchup graphics would look great with this orientation. There is also connection to heraldry in which right facing animals were seen as a symbol of cowardice.

ramsker Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I may be crazy and colorblind, but your blue seems off, almost purple. I'm definitely digging it though. Maybe a bit too much going on with the mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue is HEX 003694 (Rams official is 003594) The yellow is HEX FFCC00 (Rams official is FFD100) So they aren't "exact" but one digit off in HEX. Maybe the "vignette" effect is throwing you off.

B-mer Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 i think i like it more without the key line. Maybe put it on a white or yellow background for the contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel75 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Something with the mouth doesn’t look right. Maybe close it? Otherwise looks terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-mer Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 i think you should make a buffalo logo similar to that style, good for Sabres or Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
