logodawg Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Ok, this is my second crack at the Lions. I've said good bye to my infamous first concept, The one with the Pinstripes...Anyway, I decided to take elements of the Lions current look and some of my first concept.I've kept their current logo, but added the barsKept the same font in the wordmark, but simplerNo Pinstripes!!!!C+C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitaminD Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Overall, much better.My biggest gripe is still with the wordmark font. It's legible, but only if it's couched in a context that makes "LIONS" easier to decipher. By itself (and not on a football field, for example), it's still very hard to read. The "o" and "n" look virtually identical, and the vertical serif on the right-hand side of the "L" makes it look like there is an additional "i" in the word, or the letter itself is a "U".The key to a good brand identity is easy identification. If people are scratching their heads trying to figure out what the word says, you've missed the point. And they may never know what you're trying to convey with your design. While it may be visually interesting, it doesn't lend itself to be read quickly and easily with one glance - which makes it a suboptimal design.Same holds true for your "DL" monogram. The extra bar on the "L" overlaps the "D", making a design which could be clean and easy to read from afar a jumbled mess on the pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I like these jerseys, but your pinstriped version was such a fresh idea that I am partial to them. However, these do look great. Still not feeling the font. There are thousands of fonts out there, so no doubt there are at least a handful better than Dark Wind for your idea. I'm sure people will laud you for making your set look more like the one they wear now, and since it's your concept you can do whatever the hell you want, but I really liked how your original was just so different in many ways. Good work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj4eck Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 i like the "DL" logo and the fontbut i think the numbers could be changed to fit the font Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gradients Kick Butt Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I love the fact that there's far less black than the current unis. I'm not feeling the jersey wordmark, or the DL on the pants though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logodawg Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Sorry, but the opinions of Packers fans do not count... Anyway, I changed the font of the wordmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear69designs Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Nice unis, interesting wordmark... like the "D" as well. Don't care for the helmet, but I am not a fan of the current look either. Overall I like this look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Revisions get two thumbs up.Don't know if your wordmark has found is final font yet, but at least this one is legible.As for the new monogram - that's brilliantly done! Great idea. One suggestion - make the silver part of it white, since the only place I see it is on silver pants. It'll stand out better. But that's a really great idea.

Davey Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I like them. I think should put the "D" white on the pants cus all i can see is the "L". Other than that its very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohelmets Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I haven't seen the previous version to this concept, but......Overall, I like the unis, with the exception of the stripes on the pants...I would have tried blue/white/blue or just blue and white...the black stripe looks out of place....or maybe try a small black stripe on either side of the blue/white stripes...I'm not crazy about the "Lions" wordmark either....The font just seems out of place with the rest of the concept....Maybe something not quite as wild looking....Just my thoughts....Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
