andrewharrington Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Okay, I know its not a "sports logo," but bear with me. I made this about a week ago for my Dad. He is a lieutenant in said organization, and he asked me to throw a logo idea together, since the current logo is out of date, and frankly, quite ugly. It is a "photo-style" eagle that is too detailed for any prectical logo applications, and thus it looks really crappy when they embroider it, which is really its prime application. They embroider it on their uniforms, hats, and some civilian clothes, and maybe letterhead or the occasional poster, but I am not certain. Anyway, let me know what you think of this new one. It is simple so it will embroider well, and it is by request, "an eagle with a lightning bolt." The lettering is applied for mock-up purposes, as that is how it will look on most applications. It may end up being one-color on some clothing, particularly the uniforms, meaning there will be no fill colors, just the outlines.

creativelysain Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Very nice! I like how clean and simple it is. It looks as though you accomplished your goal of simplicity, but keeping a nice style to it. Follow me on twitter @jrsainGo Heels

quantum Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Very clean design. I like this a lot. "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity".
Cashcleaner Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 It's nay bad really. Could you should us what colour it would be going on as a patch? I'm assuming black, but anything is possible. Thanks go to Eddie010 for the Signature and Avatar. Nice work, mate!
Mac the Knife Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 No clear references to Cleveland in it (and no, being from a nearby town I'm not going to make any gag suggestions), but overall its a nice, clean, sharp look.
andrewharrington Posted February 19, 2005 Author Posted February 19, 2005 CashAs far as I know, the uniform patches and hats will be BLACK with a GREY eagle and RED lettering. Meaning all the black outlines of the eagle will be grey, and all the fill areas will "show through" as black, though they will actually be black thread. The uniforms are not supposed to be "highly visible," which is why this subdued coloring will be used in that case. The low-vis version may even get a cameo on the armored vehicle! w00t!MacWe are exploring a "Cleveland-unique" version of a new logo, probably incorporating silhouettes of the Terminal Tower, KeyTower, and BP Building.

DarthMan Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 thats very nice. good and simple "We have nothing to fear except fear itself."
BBTV Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 It's very nice, I think you accomplished your goal well.I think that you could add a little detail in the bird's right (close) wing without making it too complicated. A simple line or something would work well. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."
Stampman Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 It certainly fits the purpose--and should work well... Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."

Avenger Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 It looks kinda soft to me, honestly.... It doesn't communicate any thing SWATy to me.It's well drawn, but it looks like a youth football team logo to me.
