Cashcleaner Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Hmmm, as logos go I quite like it, though I've never been a fan of putting geography onto a sports crest. Surely fans could accept something other than a picture of a strip of land on the Altlantic as the team's identity. Go with a shark, or maybe try to bring back the lighthouse image or something. The logo looks markedly better then the current one, but I think could go for a bit of a overhaul in the crest.All that aside, I do like the jersey pattern and 'NY' design. It definitely looks more modern and professional. Thanks go to Eddie010 for the Signature and Avatar. Nice work, mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyRock Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Cash man, I'll be honest with ya - I identify more with the shape of Long Island than I ever would a shark. However, a lighthouse would not be a bad idea - it's definitely a part of the history of the area. So much so, in fact, that Nassau Coliseum(where the Isles play) is being totally revamped to include a lighthouse of sorts.

I like the way you think, BUT it just wasn't a popular choice, and I'm almost over it , almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp0rtsguy13 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 i still think its terrible and much worse than the current isles jerseys. and why are there so many people who make up there own isles concept. is it cause they think the real jerseys suck? well i dont Stanley Cups 1980,1981,1982,1983World Series Titles 1955,1959,1963,1965,1981,1988 Super Bowl Titles VI,XII,XXVII,XXVIII,XXXSuper Bowl Title III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many different elements and colors and it'll all so jumbled without any real containment. It's sloppy and distracting. Maybe add a solid white outline around the whole thing?

whchoclte Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Its just so unoriginal and poorly designed. Looks like all clipart.Wow, who would have thunk put the island in the logo and a hockey stick for a Y. Never done before.Randy - No dawgPaula - NoSimon - That might be the worst logo I have ever seen, definite No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braden Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Well I think that it's still a solid concept, given that this jersey has numbers. But that logo just won't cut it. It's bringing the concept down.The ideas you put towards your logo concept are good, IMO though the execution was sloppy. It just needs a little experimentation. But if you say that the logo is done, then so be it. But if you ever want to make that step up where the elite logo-makers on this board are, then I think you should reconsider.

P.I.L.L. Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 I wasn't 100% satisfied w/ the colors, which I stated in earlier posts... and yes, there WERE definitely too many colors... and it wasn't clean enough. 6th update following CC: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiasco! Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Brilliams!Absolutely Brilliams!i still love the slight change to the original logo....especially making the NY bigger, the slight position change of the puck, and the way the objects leave the circle crest, instead of 'staying within the box', if you will.Brilliams!

P.I.L.L. Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 thanks mr. Fiasco... "breaking out" of the circle is a metaphor for a team that desperately seeks / needs to return to it's glory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp0rtsguy13 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 that one is better, but long island really needs to look like the real thing. if you look at the long island on the current isles log it looks exactly like it. theres too big of a difference. the rest of the jersey is pretty good Stanley Cups 1980,1981,1982,1983World Series Titles 1955,1959,1963,1965,1981,1988 Super Bowl Titles VI,XII,XXVII,XXVIII,XXXSuper Bowl Title III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.I.L.L. Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 thanks again Joshua, not sure how to take your sarcastic compliment though honestly, I do appreciate the CC on this one.as for the island, I thought it would be better design wise to sharpen the island in to a more fish tailish / dynamic shape...

yh Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 thankfully, you're in the overwhelming minority. Please provide the evidence supporting your statement. Clearly, if he's in the "overwhelming minority" there should be an abundance of information backing up your hypothesis.If he's in the "overwhelming minority," then why was the original Islander logo selected to replace the short-lived fisherman logo? Why wasn't another logo developed to advance the Isles' image? Could it possibly be because something more than an "overwhelming minority" PREFERRED the original logo? Could it be that this continues to be the case? The reason why you're the target of so much sarcasm here is because you are an attention hog, you're pushy, you don't take criticism well and you violate a sacred canon of any creative artist - you don't allow your work to do all of the talking for you. You have to take it to the next level by telling everyone how famous you are and how tight you are with all of these teams that are on the verge of adopting your creative works. If you'll take the time to notice, most of the better designers here simply present their work and await feedback. In most cases there is no back and forth debate between critic and artist - there's simply feedback and a decision by the artist to either use it or not use it. Face it, guy. Few people here are taking you seriously because you have made a simply dreadful first impression. It's almost never too late for redemption but you're going to have to learn how to deal with feedback of all kinds with a much gentler touch.
