StPatty33 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Here's my interpretation of the Colorado Avalanche--a meld of the current logo and the Colorado state flag:C & C appreciated!*edit* Here's the final logo and Alternate jersey I created for it: The below to be updated once the newest banner is raised!

Chief. Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Nice work, man! As an Avalanche fan, I have no problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.C.D Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I really, really like this. This is the kind of cool, almost under the radar stuff, that can be done with logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 that is abso****inglutely brilliant.slap that summmbitch on the front of the alternate jersey, and it goes from a silly rangers-ripoff to one of the best alternates in sports.not sure if i like it as a primary mark, but as an alternate jersey logo, or shoulder patch, it's outstanding. one of the best concepts i think i've seen.much better than the diagonal text, or the bigfoot logo. i'm officially impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StPatty33 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 Thanks for the feedback, everyone.I'm not sure I like it as the primary either--though I still think the current A won't stand the test of time. It's cool, but it still screams "Expansion!" to me. That's why I'm continually trying to come up with a new concept for it. I think it's round shape definitely lends itself to a secondary logo, but it's too much like the A to go on the same jersey I think. I'll toss it onto an Avalanche 3rd concept and see how it turns out, eh! The below to be updated once the newest banner is raised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Québécois Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Is the idea came up to you after my sacrilege of changing the official colors of the flag?ahahahhhahaSincerely, this would be much cooler and nicer as a shoulder crest than what they have right now...

StPatty33 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 (ooops, I belive this is also your avatar) Yes, it's also the tattoo I have on my shoulder... but enough about that The below to be updated once the newest banner is raised!

LMU Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 That is awesome! Looks great, plus manages to serve as homage to the original Colorado Rockies without recycling the old logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 It's a great idea with great execution. I don't like the puck in the middle, but just the C on an aternate would be killer.

NJTank Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Not bad as an alt but I like the A better www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phayze Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Awesome.I agree, that would look great on an alternate jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProvidenceRI Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Not bad as an alt but I like the A better In General, I like it when the letters used in a logo refer to the Location of the team, and not the team Nickname, unless it is somebody like the A's.So, I think this is way better than the Colorado "A" logo for that reason.

StPatty33 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 Again, I've been trying to get the Avs some sort of timeless classic look--something I feel they're missing right now. That being said, here's my most recent attempt:The other logo is the primary logo replacement I made for the Avs before. I don't think it looks near as good as with my previous replacement of the maroon for a light powder blue. I just figured I'd toss that on this jersey instead of one of the real logos *shrugs* The below to be updated once the newest banner is raised!

phayze Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Everything about that jersey is fantastic except for those grey bars coming out of the logo. I really don't like those.edit: Although some may disagree, I really like the grey and black on that jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StPatty33 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 yeah I'm going to experiment with those... making them white w/a grey border, pulling the bars in, w/the white again etc. I've got to try other fonts and stuff as well for the "COLORADO AVALANCHE" text. When I get it the way I like it I'll let you know *nods* The below to be updated once the newest banner is raised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 i think the logo would look best without a circle around it. it's good enough to stand alone on the chest, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StPatty33 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 I think this'll be the final layout (unless I go sans circle completely):It didn't look quite right w/out the circle, I didn't think.

ColeJ Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 add some white to the sweater stripes (even simply by outlining the grey bars with white, which won't look as much like adding stripes, as much as it will just give the grey bars a different look... sorta like the red on the oilers sweaters, around the copper)...i like the way the logo looks on there without the extra circle... it just needs a bit of white on the actual jersey to tie it in.i'm not completely sold on the sweaters, btw, if you're going "timeless"... because they do seem to be following the latest trends towards throwback styling.i think you'd be better off with simple striping (like you have), but less red wings styled contrast sleeves, which looks vintage, and thus not timeless. (does that make sense?) also, i'd go with a timeless V-neck... it's the only style collar that appears to be truely timeless. the sleeve pattern and draw-strings make the look very vintage to me, which in this case, doesn't equal timelessness.still, i'm only being so nit-picky because i really really like where you're going with this.
