DarthMan Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 The bird shape is really convoluted. Is a vigilante a bird? me no likee "We have nothing to fear except fear itself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thad Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Once again, major league work. I like how you took two "unordinary" colors and made a killer design. Very dynamic design and the font fits the logo almost perfectly. Check your PMs, you might be interested in.

Phil Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 A few things...- the wordmark is real cool, but the spacing makes it look like VIGIL AN TES.- the bird needs to change, if not go altogether. I've never heard of a bird called a vigilante, and when I think of a vigilante, I think of a guy like the Punisher.- Is the bird flexing? Or what's going on there?I think it's an interesting, certainly creative start, but it's still got a ways to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Very good work.Ahhh, but where do the Montana Vigilantes play? Billings? Missoula? Great Falls? Bozeman? The little town that changed its name to Joe so it could be called Joe, Montana? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAO Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 actually the left wing is supposed to be bending towards the bird, i didnt execute it right. and i looked up the word vigilante and its definition was: One who takes or advocates the taking of law enforcement into one's own hands. So, I thought of a regal looking bird swooping down, and honestly i hoped in some symbolistic way it'd represent the name Vigilantes well.

PhilaLogos Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 I think SyPhi basically summed up my feelings. The logo is nice, but the letters need to be moved together. I also think that you could signifacantly tone down the dark blue outline on the wordmark, I think it should be more like 4-5 pixels or so.

yankeeman Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I'm not trying to knock it, because you obviously have more creative talent in your pinky finger than I do in my whole brain. But I was looking at the bird and thinking..."Hmmm, something doesn't look right." I thought perhaps maybe it was the wings, but I actually like the way you have them arranged. It's very unique, and it gives that "swooping down" motion that you were looking for. Then I realized...the bird has no feet/talons. I think if you added some outstretched talons, like a hawk about to pounce on its prey, it would look awesome.By the way, I really dig the color scheme.

quantum Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 This might be the first concept that would be considered a "miss". Still, your talent level is far above mine. Keep at it.

Stampman Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I like the bird--as above it could use a tweak or two--but I like it...I'm not sold on the name matching it though...Change the name--and hey--it would work very well...

FUNKAFIED Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 This is sweet, but maybe Montana Vultures would make more sense with the bird?I don't claim to know anything. Don't mind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I echo some of the previous statements. The bird is in a very unnatural position. I am not positive if a bird can actually, physically achieve this position. Anyway, the bird needs talons. Also, I think the bird would benefit from more attention to detail, especially around the face area. Kern and modify those letters to give the wordmark balance, and maybe lighten up that outline a few points; it's pretty huge. This wordmark is another good one though, something that your early concepts lacked. I am glad to see you have come so far in that regard. Nice color scheme.

BlueSky Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 The name doesn't bother me personally, but it's doubtful a professional team would adopt it as it's not politically correct. I also suppose I'm a traditionalist in not liking the modern trend towards cartoonish fonts in wordmarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
