Sarasota Sharks

[irondudez]

hey i dont know if anyone remembers my Sharks concept from about 2 months ago, but i started working on it again 2 days ago, so now i have another version of it. C&C please.

[irondudez]

if it helps, he is the old version of the logo:

Too much black. Try laying the wordmarks over the logo itself and then go from there.

[EJ_Barlik]

great start...my parents live in the sarasota area, so very cool......you gunning to get the logo for the new arena2 franchise down there???

Maybe a shark logo on the helmet with a blue sea so the shark/sea looks like a football??

[EJ_Barlik]

me like the sharks script on Talahassee better, but the thicker outlines on the Sarasota version. Also like the white gill slits

[irondudez]

i was thinking of addind some sort of ocean wave under the shark above the "SARA" park of the wordmark... good idea??

yep

[irondudez]

i updated it a little...

Why don't you outline the text like you outlined the logo? There's not point in having all that black space!

I see the sharks have migrated down south, to warmer weather maybee?

I used to live in Sarasota so cool. Another thing is I didnt realize that they were getting an af2 team, I knew they were getting an echl team in Brandenton the town right next to there.

please don't take offense, but the old logo is better, in my opinion and here is why:

-the teeth on the new are much worse, unless the shark is old, retired and has falsies

-the shading is worse...to thick and dark AND a shark is actually lighter on the bottom than it is on the top (called counter-shading)

-the font is worse, and i liked the fact that tallahassee is teal and thicker

-the gray and white stripes in the last version are not needed and confuse me...what are they?

- i don't think the thick charcoal outline is necessary and adds another color to your pallette - if you feel the need to have an outline, try the teal (although i don't think one is necessary)

here is what has improved:

- the dorsal fin is much better

- the gill slits are MUCH better

- the pectoral fin is better

i still think you should make the opening at the bottom of the k or r into a "negative space" shark fin

The 'K' in Skarks looks much too much like the 'H'.

Fix that and make the teeth sharp and you've got a keeper.

I like the design bro, but to me, from first glance, the shark looks like it's dead - like it washed up and beached itself like those stupid whales. but other than that, I like the logo

[irondudez]

okey dokey, i made numerous changes to the logo based on the suggestions i've received and i've also created a football uniform set to go with the logo.

[leggman01]

nice improvements - i'm still not a fan of the font, but the secondary is REALLY nice - the latest version is definately the best of the ones that i've seen - i like the uni's a lot, too - great job

[OB33]

I like this, although I don't think teal socks would fly in the NFL.

Good work.

[the_cynic]

One of the things that kind of makes it look retarded is that straight line on the far right.

I like the uni's a lot. One suggestion - I think it would be better if you added stripes in some fashion to the pants with some of the other colors. Maybe a thin black and white stripes the same width as the jersey piping. I think this would make the grey pants stand out less, especially with the black jersey. Other than that, killer concept.
