iDonovan Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Well I am off to the races this year with ten logos to have done PDQ. This is one I am doing for a hockey tournament. I could not find a good reference picture so i had my girlfriend's son put his hockey equipment on and pose....I am still working on the face sheild....but what do you all think? I kind of notice it started to look like Bell Canada logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Nice start--although I do see the remblance.If you leave the face as is I like it--it could represent any boy, girl, etc...

iDonovan Posted January 1, 2005 Author Share Posted January 1, 2005 This is a girls and boys tourney...I like that someone notices I tried to keep it plan.Plus the Medal they give out have that gold swirl star puck thing on it...so I tried to tie it into the logo...thats where the Bell Canada look came from.

Discrim Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 both are good, but from what i've read so far I'm gonna say #2 after any tweaks you feel you need to make. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Personally it looks a bit strnge to me without legs but other than these look good so far. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynomind Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Personally it looks a bit strnge to me without legs but other than these look good so far. Yeah, the no legs looks a little odd to me too.. i think maybe because the yellow swoop around give the impression that the whole design continues below the wordmark, but the human doesn't. With as much visual interest as you have in the top of that, I think you could do away with the bottom left swoosh, and it would still look balanced.Nice work. NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!

slapshot Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Maybe that's the challenge...none of the players have any legs!The lack of a lower torso does not bother me, I like both of them, each have their own merits. #1 works because that star/swoop is only on the player's jersey, and it would be busy in #2 if the logo was in there twice. With #2, the star leads you back to the year 2005, it feels very cicular that way. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But someway of softening the 'margin' between the player and the words would help I think. Maybe taking away the yellow border on the letters??? 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerws Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I like #1. The puck flying behind seems kind of off to me if the kid's in a celebratory pose. Both are great and 1585% better than what I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I will disregard the fact that I hate Bell with a passion and that your logo breathes Bell inside out... I would make the gloves a little smaller and the fingers closer.Also not sure why, butthe arms seem to be bent behind the neck in a strange ways.Otherwise, your illustration skills are absolutely wicked!!!! @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheateater Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Also not sure why, but the arms seem to be bent behind the neck in a strange ways. Yeah, I see that, too. It looks like he/she is stretching. Must be the shadowing and whatnot....but it still looks fantastic. Personally, the one on the left looks better to me.
