Jacksonville Amberjacks Concept

[nitroseed]

Dude, that's not me in that picture.

[Brian in Boston]

When I said, "Congrats on landing that monster," I was assuming that you were part of the fishing party involved in catching it... not the guy holding the fish. I actually thought you took the picture that you posted. My bad.

[pcgd]

all I have to say is...I hate you so much.

That's a compliment btw.

Awesome work as usual.

[udonkey]

not to cup the balls too much, but you really are an inspiration to all of us newbies

[AAO]

you disgust me. i envy you. amazing work, again. never had a bad concept yet.

[winters in buffalo]

Freakin' sweet.

Nitro,

Your work is amazing - one of the deadly sins is Envy, and do I ever envy your talent. You amaze me everytime you post a new concept. I love your work.

In 16 years I can retire from teaching, I'll need a new profession - a graphic artist apeals to me.

Maybe in those 16 years I will be able to produce such fine work as yours!

Amberjacks?? It's fun to learn something new, thanks for sharing your work.

This fish is a bit bigger, check it out. Amberjack

[Discrim]

i learned something new (i came into this thread thinking it was a miner mining for amber...silly me) and think an amberjack might make for good eatin

there's nothing I can add to the praise

[Stampman]

I'm not normally into fish logos--but that is one nice logo--good use of shape, space, and colour...

Too many times logos don't make good use of space...

[slapshot]

God, that's horrible.

And puts everything I do to shame.

Stop crushing my dreams.

he's back folks. sweet jebus.

[P.I.L.L.]

that's a beautiful looking fish... 1- 10 , it's a 9.5 ... can't quite figure out what would make it "perfect", but it's impressive... wordmark / balance of shapes

[Cashcleaner]

That is awesomely great work you've done there. Not only that, I now know what an Amberjack is. Very professional from the word mark to the secondaries.

Cheers!

Just a small question from a usual lurker:

Shouldn't the "J" in "Amberjacks" be the same as the one in the "JA" logo?

(I don't mean making it a capital, by the way; it is good that it is "Amberjacks" and not "AmberJacks". )

[BBTV]

I've been staring at this one a lot lately, because I really like it.

I noticed something though (probably just a result of hours of staring trying to find a flaw): the amberjack is slightly tilted, so that even though we see the profile, it is moving toward the viewer. The mouth however looks almost flat, like a 2d profile. I may be completely off base here, like I said, I've been staring for a while.

Anyone else think that? Or am I nuts?

[Blackjack76]

Are you incorporating baseball into any logo? That's probably the only (and very insignificant) missing element I see, since it is a baseball team.

Solid.

There are many teams that don't use a baseball in their primary logo.

[robbman21]

I'm ready to see if there are uniforms that go with these

[andrewharrington]

I love that color palette.

the amberjack is slightly tilted, so that even though we see the profile, it is moving toward the viewer.

The way I see it, the fish is "twisted" in the air, which is why it appears that way. I find the perspective believeable, if not accurate.

I would not like to see a baseball in this logo . . . at all.

Although a great design as always, I'm impressed by the colors used. In the past, I was never much of a fan of orange. This logo has changed my mind. Outstanding!
