Davidson Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 Tweed Seagulls. I tried hard here to work some brand elements into a Seagull design. Moderate results. Original Logo Tweed Seagulls 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Halifax Panthers. The Panthers current logo seams to feature a number of blues that don't really match the rest of the brand or any historic brand elements. I have simplified the colours and logo.

Davidson Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Souths Logan Magpies. Another Magpie logo. A little different this time, hopefully. Original Logo Souths Logan Magpies 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got the same problem as the Western Suburbs logo in that the magpie looks far more like a European Magpie instead of an Australian Magpie.

slapshot Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. I've been following on Instagram and you've knocked it out of the park with this series. My favorite is Barrow - so fun and exponentially better than the existing version. While I don't think every logo update has been a significant improvement, you've done a great job of simplifying what had excessive colors/gradients/outlines. The fonts are a bit too consistent though...in a vacuum they look good, but seeing them all series-wide I think you could use a little more variety. For Featherstone - the original crest had a top hat, but you removed it for your version. Did it hold any significance? Maybe there's a way to keep it in there somewhere while still keeping the cleaned-up look? For Hull, I really like the original - I think they had a very creative way of making a negative space sparrow head within a crown, so you had a challenge to improve on it.

Yeah, I've made 63 of them, so there will definitely be some overlap... The Featherstone Rovers 'Hat' is actually a knights helmet. There are colour renders of the logo that make that more clear. The Hull Kingston Rovers logo is great. Check out their rebrand here: https://badge.hullkr.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 Townsville Blackhawks. I have a few logos like this in this series. In this instance I wanted the bird to interact with the brand elements, in this case the chevrons.

Davidson Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 PNG Hunters. Their current logo is a bit of a mess with a sponsor lock up. I have tried to simplify the elements here. Original Logo PNG Hunters 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaGrandeOrange Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I assume you've completed these and are just posting them now, but would you be interested in keeping it going with the French Elite 1 or some of the top national teams? Most of the national teams have lacking aesthetics compared to their relatives in other top sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 Widnes Vikings. A team that has quite a progressive brand relatively. I have tried to use the team initials in a similar way. The initials also feature within the uniform. Original Logo Widnes Vikings 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm done now, feel like I scratched the itch, so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 Northern Pride. Their brand is terrible and doesn't even reflect their own colours, so I chose a nautical theme and featured their uniform chevrons.

Davidson Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 Okay, thats a wrap. Many thanks for all the comments on these, Ive really enjoyed making this series. I might be back to do something else at some point. Any ideas you have stick them below, perhaps I can make similar animated characters for such a project. I think there might be a way to use UVs or Normal Maps to make an animated version for Photoshop? Anyway, here are all the logos together along with the uniforms. 4 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
