The Art of War(hawk)

[Discrim]

I used to go to UW Whitewater, which oddly enough is the only NCAA school that uses the nickname Warhawks. If you've ever seen Mount Union, we kinda look like them, except we have a real logo, black's a part of our actual scheme, and we also use silver. so in honor of my old school, I whipped up a logo set, as our real logo is basically an Eagles ripoff.

Warhawk Football-see here

the primary logo is a hawk wearing a helmet...that's forged to resemble a hawk. hope that makes sense to you.

and here goes a uniform set...heh, the black jerseys when I was there had purple numbers like MUC's, and although we did win in em, Mount Union whipped the black-clad Hawks pretty bad in the home opener a couple years ago (but then, Mount Union still whips almost everybody).

Er, I don't know. Wait um. Yes i do.

Being one who grew up in Racine, went to UW-LaCrosse, and now lives in Kenosha, I have seen some of what UW-Whitewater has done with their logo over the years. Although what they have now is a knockoff of the Eagles I do like it. I do like your wordmarks.

The logo's really interesting. I've been looking at it for quite a bit, and I can see the helmet and the hawk head, but it still looks sort of weird to me. Something looks odd to me, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is. The jerseys look pretty good though. Maybe add a bit more black to the road. Good work though.

I don't know about using a hawk and a hawk helmet on that. I think if you use just the helmet only in the same position it is right now, it would be enough to resemble a warplane going on an attack run.

As far as the colors, the shades are good. However, I would rather see the purple or the black as the main color, with the other one as shading, and the silver as an outline.

Good work so far, as always.

Does that hawk have a mullet?

Does that hawk have a mullet?

It IS Wisconsin....

no mullet, moser I almost thought somebody was gonna make a Predator reference by now

[Discrim]

I bump this thread because I've finally gotten around to touching the hawk up...mainly, I wanted to improve the hawk head's look, though I also needed to add another wing to the helmet when it stands alone. I did not change either wordmark (which, if you're watching the D3 title game right now, is pretty much itself a modification of the one already on their jerseys). so without further ado...version 2 of my Warhawks logo set

I like this concept, especially the logo's. I know a lot of people who go to school there, including like 5 people I work with. Basically everyone that goes to high school here in Stoughton ends up goin there for some reason. lol

Is that bird wearing a bird on its head?

It's not bad... you've done better, but these jerseys especially look pretty good.

yup, more or less...a hawk wearing a helmet shaped like a hawk, to emphasize the warrior hawk concept.

That primary just doesn't look right, I'm sorry. The first thing that I noticed was that it looks like the top bird is humping the bottom bird's head.

You also mentioned that your logo is like an Eagles ripoff. I'll admit it is a ripoff, but it looks more like the Ontario Hockey League's Saginaw Spirit:

Go Spirit!

Anyway, I like the updated hawk with the outstreched wings. I don't know about the hawk wearing a hawk thing you got going on. I will say that it is a very unique idea.

As Discrimi-tastic as always

There's a bit of ancient civilisation feel to the bird-styled helmet.

[BavarianMW]

yeah about those logos a bird ontop of a bird? and then the one at the bottom of the pants looks like a horse head from this distance, and the one on the back of the jersey looks like a fish

[Discrim]

all that means is I haven't gotten around to any concepts with the second set yet

I'm glad someone else said it, I thought I was going to have to mention it and sound like a pervert.

I'm glad it's not a Rorschach Inkblot, they might lock me up.

It looks like the old Atlanta Falcon was getting jiggy with Tweety in the moonlight.

I don't understand why the eagle is wearing a helmet.

Were Warhawks the sort of bird that wore helmets?

Is there a way of drawing a Hawk so it represents the War aspect of the name better?

The second wing on the secondary makes for a updated 'old-Atlanta-Falcons' look.

And I like that.

The Wordmarks are good too.

heh, for what it's worth, the "Warhawks" reference used to be to Indians. heck, I thought about throwing in an arrowhead as a tertiary logo somewhere cus the logo used before we changed from an Indian mascot to a hawk mascot (around 1974 IIRC) was of an upward-pointing arrowhead featuring an Indian holding up a spear.

and for what it's worth, the first concept using the modified logos:
