Hat Boy Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I like the uniform, but I'm not sold on the logos. The "Flames" and "C" logo are very bland. The bird logo is puzzling. Other than the fact that it appears to be on fire, what does it have to do with "Flames"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 A well-executed concept, but I am finding the idea a little shaky.There looks like there are a lot items thrown together that don't belong together. These are the questions that came to me when I reviewed this:1. What do flames have to do with Cincinnati? The U. of Illinois-Chicago Flames, I get the connection. The Atlanta Flames, I get the connection. Liberty U. Flames, I get the connection. But Cincy? Why?2. What does the bird have to do with flames? If the team name was Firebirds, I'd get it.3. Why is the bird on fire?4. Are the colors supposed to look so much like the University of Cincinnati's teams?5. Other than the team name, what about the uniforms says "fire" or "flames"? I see the small "birdhead on fire" logo at the bottom of the shorts, but that's it.Maybe there's something I am missing here. It's a nice design, but very generic. And I don't get the tie-in with Cincinnati and flames. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Liberty U. Flames, I get the connection. What is the connection with Liberty and Flames? Is it because of Jerry Falwell telling everyone they're going to hell? On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.

floydnimrod Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 First of all, this is a great logo and jersey concept(and i'm not just saying that because its my fantasy basketball team).Second of all I chose the colors he didn't, so don't blame him.Third, Not every team name has something to do with the city(Cincinnati Bengals,Utah Jazz, St. Louis Rams).4th, The bird logo- the chargers have an alternate with a horse don't they? What do a lightning bolt a horse have in common?.Overall, chief103182 did a great job. Mancakes: The Bandhttps://twitter.com/FloydNimrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsfan39 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 4th, The bird logo- the chargers have an alternate with a horse don't they? What do a lightning bolt a horse have in common?. A charger is a horse..or something about the horse in the medievel times. I forget which because it's been a long day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Liberty U. Flames, I get the connection. What is the connection with Liberty and Flames? Is it because of Jerry Falwell telling everyone they're going to hell? While I like your explanation better, IIRC it refers more to the light of Christ, the fire of evangelism, and so on and so forth. The flame of Christ, the flame of knowledge. A friend of mine's sister went there, I will try and confirm. But I know there is a connection that is probably more obvious than you and I realize. "Start spreading the news...

Chief. Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 About the bird, I guess I was thinking of the Calgary Flames and that horse sneezing fire. Is there a story behind that logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggman01 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 not a fan of the 1st two (left to right), but i really like the flaming c - uni's are simple but effective - if they had the flaming c instead of the flaming bird, they'd be better...not a bad concept, and, most importantly, the team owner seems to like them a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djqman69 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Those logos aren't very good in my opinionBut those Jersey's are SLICK.I also don't see the connection with the Flames, but there are tons of teams with names that have absolutely no connection to the area they are in, for example the Utah Jazz (I KNOW where the Jazz moved from, that doesn't mean it has anything to do with Utah) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I like the jerseys, but the logos could use some tweaking:1. The flames on all need to be bigger and far more pronounced (realism be damned). Look at the Calgary logo. Those flames reproduce great on logos and embroidery. Yours wouldn't (this is mostly about the bird. You should be able to limit it down to about five flames)2. Those are some very thin borders (which are going to be nigh-on-invisible when embroidered). Consider either fattening them, or removing them altogether. Good line art is the fundamental difference between a good and amateur logo, IMO.3. I think the oval logo is pretty weak, idea-wise. Why an oval? Could you not set the text, trace an outline about eight px around, then extend (large) flames from that?4. I'd also seriously consider the impact of serifs on long names like that, from a readability perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleclock Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I think the bird logo is the best of the three. The jerseys are pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
