LogoFan Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 It's been a while since I last posted a new concept, but when you're having an ice storm, you have extra time on your hands.This is just a little something I came up with a couple of weeks ago. While not my favorite that I haven't shared yet, my wife fell in love with it.I was going to let you guys C&C it, please. I haven't had time to do any kind of uniforms, but this is the logo and wordmark...Please let me know what ya think, particularly the wordmark, as that is an area of weakness I've been working on. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 As I mentioned on the other post--I love how you combined the G and the picture--nice work...As for the wordmark--not sure why-but it looks more like it curves away from you than curves up--If you added the shadow elewhere this would change--or if you dropped it--but then maybe that's what you wanted--it does suggest a closed in place for a gunfight...It may need to be a bit smaller on the helmets---but overall I'm sold on this one--very nice...

Lightningfan Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Very nice. I too think it should be a litttle smaller on helmet.As a general rule I do not like using nickname letters as a primary logo. I prefer using city name or region letters IE "M"innesota "A"rizona etc etc... as letters to be used in logo. For same reasons I do not like Bengals B logo. Should be a C. I guess for secondary logos nickname letter is OK.I did like USFL Gamblers though, as they put a texas shape in opening inside G so as to somewhat use Texas in logo even though they where Houston Gamblers. I guess Gamblers just did not use what I liked however I liked it due to the logo cleverness.Both these teams should be the Galveston or Georgia Gunslingers/Gamblers then all is well.Wichita Wranglers of minjor league baseball?? Had a cool logo. Can't find link. Found it wichitawranglers.com Not as cool as I remember. New Wrangler logo is much better and I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4DOOR Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Would have been a nice update to the USFL's San Antonio Gunslingers logo. The brown color set would be an improvement to their green and silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogoFan Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 D'oh! Yeah, now that you mention it, the logo is way too big on the helmet. Here is an adjusted version: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleclock Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 The backwards "G" still doesn't work.The G doesn't work at all in my opinion. I know you mean well, but it really looks like a giraffe hunched over a gun.I must say I do love the colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterhabs Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Great stuff! I'm not really sold on the Brown helmets, but the logo is inspired. I've always enjoyed your concepts. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_cynic Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. How about trying the "G" on just one side of the helmet?

The Falcons 'F' to me is so subtle that you almost have to be told by someone that its there. The backward 'G' is almost a distraction in its current form.
