kc51design Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I wanted to update Crystal Palace logo, specialy the eagle, since it doesn't do it for me. I would update a Palace in the logo, but that would make it too different and didn't want to play with tradition. I know Eagle could be much better, but this is my best, maybe someone can help with advices how to make it better. So bring it on! lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Is Crystal Palace a club in London? The building looks like the famed Crystal Palace of the 1800's. For a traditional soccer logo thats perfect. The addition of the grey ties everything together. You made some great updates to the eagle as well.

wcgslacker04 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Well, you changed the shading of the Eagle. It appeared to be facing us on the old version, but now appears to be facing away the way the shading appears. Was this intentional? If it's facing toward the viewer it's front/belly area need to be shaded lighter like the original logo.They gray definitly modernizes the logo and took it from looking like clip-art to a finished looking logo. i also like the slick soccerball you added. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work. I don't think he intends for the eagle to be facing away - he still has its claws drawn facing forward.Actually I think the main problem is the vague transition from the belly to the tail. He might be able to get away with just changing the tail to grey.LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesCraven Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Have you thought about using another font like Times New Roman on the lettering in the logo? "I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.My "Ron Mexico" alias is "Jon Tobago".

ColeJ Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 the font might be worth updating to something else, if you find something simple, but fancier...it still needs a little bit of work, but it's a great start updating a crest that desperately needs it.

JamesCraven Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 "Times New Roman!"I think I just heard jp have a stroke." Who, in the name of Daniel Boone's Mossy Oak underwear, is jp?[NOTE: Bonus kudos if you know the cartoon that I just referenced with Daniel Boone's Mossy Oak undies.] "I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.My "Ron Mexico" alias is "Jon Tobago".

kc51design Posted January 29, 2005 Author Share Posted January 29, 2005 Thanks guys, so I need to change shading a bit to look lke it's facing forward (it does!), and I will play with fonts. I don't want to change a lot of things becasue I'm scared the fans at CP forum will tear me apart when I post this. lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hey, when you have an English club change their colors and mascot, they've demonstrated that the tradition is flexible. Well done so far, I'm curious to see what you do with the eagle. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
