dakotapalm Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) I need some constructive criticism on a Chinook Salmon logo that I made for a fictional university logo in the northwest. The "C" shape is important, and the three colors and the university's colors. Otherwise, trying to make it more like a good logo. Edited January 20 by dakotapalm Edit: Posted wrong image first.

Hd1graphics Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 some suggestions I could think of would be: more consistency with your lines as your main navy blue outlines are nearly 4 different stroke weights. As well as working on the eye, possibly adding a brow or more forward angle, right now it just kinda looks like it's giving a sideways thousand yard high stare.

But isn't that what Chinook usually do? But I do agree that an eyebrow giving the salmon a more determined face would help the look 1 Quote Im an isles,rangers,devils,Sabres,Yankees,Mets,Braves,hawks,knicks,nets,bills,giants,falcons,and jets fan.

dakotapalm Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 Thanks for the feedback. I know there's still stuff to do (teeth?), but wondering if this is trending in the right direction. Quote http://www.dakotapalmhelmets.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I guess my commentary would be to sacrifice some authenticity for smoother lines. Most pro sports logos are about motion and lines that lead the eye in a particular direction. Some examples of lines that could be simplified would be the dorsal fin, the "neck" and head lines, and the rear edge of the tail. I would say to take a look at some other fish logos out there for comparison. The Chris Creamer main page has several you could use as examples: Minnesota Fighting Pike (Arena Football League) Columbus Catfish (minor league baseball) Gwinnett Stripers (minor league baseball) Victoria Salmon Kings (minor league hockey) Idaho Steelheads (minor league hockey) Waco Blue Cats (minor league baseball) Minnesota Muskies (minor league hockey) Florida Tarpons (indoor football) Northern Kentucky River Monsters (indoor football) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd shied away from looking at the logos of fish vs. actual fish, but it might be time for that. I didn't want to "borrow" either accidentally or otherwise, but I think I've arrived too much at too complex of a logo as you said. Back to the drawing board.
