Gary Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I like what you have except that the snake looks like he has a really bad wig on! But everything else looks great
misterhabs Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Good start, but vipers don't have hoods like cobras.
AAO Posted April 8, 2005 Author Posted April 8, 2005 thanks...but actually thats what i thought at first too, then i googled up some images of vipers and a few came up with hoods, like cobras...so i went with that. Behance Network || ianbakar.com || Dribbble

ColeJ Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I like what you have except that the snake looks like he has a really bad wig on! But everything else looks great agreed
Stampman Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I like what you have except that the snake looks like he has a really bad wig on! But everything else looks great agreed That was my first thought--maybe it's from a 60'd girl grroup like the Ronettes or Supremes! Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."
MonoMan Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 I am just glad you got illustrator back, gives me some more eye candy to look at. I think it looks great, just around the neck area, kind of looks chubby, double chin, like me. I suffer from a very sexy learning disability..... sexlexia.
leggman01 Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 lose the hood - vipers don't have 'em - if you saw pics of vipers with hoods, i don't think you were seeing vipers - many vipers have very wide triangular heads, though - otherwise, this is a PERFECT concept - one question though...is it your watermark that i'm seeing or is that scales...if it's not scales, it looks very scale-like, and i like it!
andrewharrington Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 Oh man, your wordmark is excellent, and thats the first time I've said that. Though the outlines could be a little more substantial. As far as the snake goes, it would definiitely be better without the hood. Also, the head is kind of rounded and pudgy. I think your concept would benefit from an agressive, angular head. Take some artistic license and make it look like your own unique invention. Good start.

GameCock82 Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 as the others said most to zero vipers have hoods, they have a diamond shaped heads which is a characteristic in most venomous snakes, but the logo is very good but it is a misnomer and may be titled to "Cobras", other than that it is a great concept. -s82.designs.webpage-Brilliams!Ownership -CFA: South Beach Sharks -NCFA: 2007 Beantown Bowl Champions; BNE Co-Champions
GameCock82 Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 i see where you may have ran into trouble, I just googled "viper snake" and few pics of cobras were among the rest. -s82.designs.webpage-Brilliams!Ownership -CFA: South Beach Sharks -NCFA: 2007 Beantown Bowl Champions; BNE Co-Champions
misterhabs Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 thanks...but actually thats what i thought at first too, then i googled up some images of vipers and a few came up with hoods, like cobras...so i went with that. Don't believe everything you see on the internet. I know for a fact that Vipers never have hoods. The only snakes that do are Cobras. It's what differentiates them as a species.
winters in buffalo Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 I like the wordmark, and think you have a good color scheme going. The logo, however, is far from your best. The snake looks a bit fat & happy and not at all aggressive. A bit too cartoony for my tastes. And the hood has to go. I'd try working a new snake into the package and see what happens. I know you can pull it off.
gordie_delini Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 i like that color scheme and the wordmark - again i think the only thing would be to change the snake. vipers have more of the diamond shaped head - a rattlesnake is a viper, as are copperheads and puff adders, so you may want to look at a view pics of those. its a good start. what sport are these for?
AAO Posted April 10, 2005 Author Posted April 10, 2005 thanks...and actually it wasn't for a specific sport, it was just a random idea. Behance Network || ianbakar.com || Dribbble
quantum Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Even if it was suppose to have a hood, something just doesn't look right about its orientation. Not really sure. The colors are good. "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity".
