jamesjduncan Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 The point I am trying to make is this. The reason that it is xfl-ish is not because of what you are doing. It is because of what the Giants have done. You wanna make that a shoulder patch, even a logo on the collar where the wordmark goes, you can get away with that. As a primary logo, it's just a different team. If you told me that was for a new team, like the "Gladiators", or the "Goobers" or whatever, daddy you run that. Again, I like it.

gosioux76 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I again appreciate your efforts toward creativity. The notion of a football player's arm curled into a 'G' is a good, though probably more suited to an alternate logo than a primary.What I don't like about this is that little football helmet. It looks way too much like clip art uncomfortably slid behind your "g". It really stands out and looks odd. I'd either remove it entirely or rework it into the concept. But i'm leaning toward trashing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markanthony Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I dont really care for the logo, although I think the basic idea of an arm into a G is pretty cool. I Kinda get the STRONGARM name in my mind Rather than GIANTS.I Like your signature next to your copyrights. Is that hand-drawn? Put that thing on a shirt!

deucedwo Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Overall, I like the idea behind this concept. Upon first glance, I immediately knew that it was supposed to be a football player's arm in the form of a "G" with his helmet in the background. But I can also see where some people may be confused with the motion lines and thick border covering most of the helmet. I think most people have been referring to the logo as XFLish because it seems that there is a lack of "cartoony" or "hidden meaning" logos in the NFL. The abstract-cartoonish version of the arm is probably what reminds people of the XFL. Many people might not accept it as a helmet logo, but it'd make a great secondary logo with some tweaking.C/C on the logo: Please don't add an actual football! This would just clutter it up too much. The laces you have now are perfect and do just the trick. The motion lines look good for the overall "G" but also seem a bit awkward. What about thinning out the borders around the "G", perhaps adding a different color shadow or some sort of break color inside the "G" to replicate the shoulderpads and the arm and then tinkering with the player's helmet a bit to fit in better with the rest of the logo.

STL FANATIC Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Yeah, the serif does do something weird to the idea of it being an arm. Still, it's pretty cool. Helmet logo? Eh, maybe. Alternate logo? I'd take that.And to the concepts board we go... JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 you should really consider using some of the templates available on this site...your abstract shapes being pasted on top of blurry photographs doesn't lend itself to professionalism. over a year has passed, and my opinion has not changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
