OB33 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Well the original plan was for this logo to be a snakehead for my CBL team. However my futile attempts at drawing one failed so I changed the name to Knights and came up with this:As always C&CP.S. The blade of the sword is supposed to be the Washington Monument #CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 the sword / monument is clever. the blue stroke kind of dominates the word mark... did you do this in photoshop? if you did, i have a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB33 Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 No I didn't do it in Photoshop cause I don't have that much$In other words, I'm one of the many resident "ghetto designers" on the board #CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyBrownie13 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 the monument looks kinda small on the sword. It's hard to know what to modify because if you lengthened the monument it would lose that effect somewhat, but if you shrunk the handle you'd lose the prominence of the "DC" and "Knights"Still, a very nice design package when you're replacing an old Carr, you need more than Les Miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks more like a dagger than a sword. it's rather awkward loking to my eye. Owner of Kalamazoo Tech Kobras (Nat'l College Fant. Assc.

ltravisjr Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I agree with the comments so far. I might add I would like to see the sword/monument vertical, just because it seems odd to see the monument toppling. Very innovative and unique start though!LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB33 Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 Sorry for bringing this back from Page 4 but I changed the sword to make it standing straight up.Better? #CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltravisjr Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Yes, I do like that orientation better. Of course it is now a very looong logo, but it looks like the basis of something that could be really special. LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 You are working from a very good idea (using the monument as the blade). Just keep tweaking and it will get better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB33 Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 It's been a while but I finally got this thingy done, kinda. The only real change is to the secondary logo which i'm still on the fence about I might switch back to the original.And finally the package:And here's links to the jerseys in better detail:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v681/jak.../knightaway.pnghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v681/jak...nighthomeaa.png #CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltravisjr Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I like the monument on the side of the uniforms! I hadn't noticed at first but on the second look it was like wow! Anyway, it looks like this design has progressed really nicely. I am not completely sold on the colors though. The yellow seems pretty bright on a white background and the blue of the road uniforms fights with the grey monument a bit. It is really well put together though, and a great original idea!LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
