officeglenn Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Just wanted everyone's two cents on this ...... Based, by request, on the Orange County Octopus of the RSL, a surfing league ...C&C please and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMMF Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Nice work.I think in this case though, get your tomatoes ready, it would be better to go with the singular of the name instead of the plural. I know you have no control of what was requested but Octopi just doesn't sound right when talking about a sports moniker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterhabs Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I like it. Even though it is based on an existing design, it's still a clever name and a stylish interpertation. I'm not sold on the color scheme though. Purple and Black don't seem very cephelepod to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnmrwrw Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 This is very well done. The only problem I can forsee would be the fact that the Octopus (I think) is the same color as the background. It might not show very well on a helmet or jersey. But great work. HURRICANES | PANTHERS | WHITE SOX | WOLFPACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 No offense, but that logo is really girly when you color it purple. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantum Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 No offense, but that logo is really girly when you color it purple. I think the colors should be lighter, for a more California feel.

officeglenn Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 Shameless bumpage here ... what if I kept the orange? Would that be ripping off the original too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Shameless bumpage here ... what if I kept the orange? Would that be ripping off the original too much? I'd try for a light blue or periwinkle...the thought was good, seeing that most octopi are indeed purplish, but that logo just ruins the best color. Smart is believing half of what you hear.

Sterling84 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Would that be ripping off the original too much? Nah. Just use it. Its fantasy. You're not making any $$.Plus, to be perfectly honest, it's like 90% "rip off" as of now anyway. And I don't mean that in a jerk way.Its a cool logo. Use their font and colors too if you like them.

scottyvoodoo Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Considering it was done for me I like it, but I'd like to see it in different colors. I was thinking of colors similar to the seahawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
