Ben5 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 After my entry for Astrobowl II lost, I decided to retool my Houston Gamblers concepts. Here is my updated concept. The top two are the standard home and away. The third is the throwback uniform which is worn with the throwback helmet, and the forth is the away alt. C&C appreciated.

TurnTwo Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I like the throwback logo better than your primary. In your primary, I think the bar on the G needs a white outline as well to be consistent with the rest of the G. Other than that, great concept.

VitaminD Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Love the concept, even if it gets a little close to the LA Sharks from "Any Given Sunday".The part that isn't working for me is your helmet logo. Trying to work a spade (or any card suit) looks a little forced. Why not go in a different direction that conveys gambling: roulette wheel, dice, chips? You could easily slap a "G" on a die (or "H" and "G" on different sides). "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...
1stDownCreative Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 yeah, your throwback logo is the best part of the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFSize24 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 You may want to take some inspiration from the throwback to help your primary logo concept. They used a G with the serif pointing outward rather than toward the center to make the logo look less forced. Also look at the size fo the spade compared to the size of the state of Texas, yours is really big. Downsizing it and maintaing the outline consistency should help the look as well. I would also consider a heavier weight outline.I'm not really digging the secondary either, maybe some shading to the suits to add some depth would help. But like D (who does offer great C&C) there are several other gambling things you could use in the secondary. The idea I like is to incorporate a deck of cards, some poker chips and a pistol. I like throwing the pistol in there for one cause the old school gun wielding gamblers, plus Houston ran the Run and Shoot with Jack Pardee.

The Green Meanie Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 To be honest, I really don't like it, the secondary logo specifically. It doesn't work at all. I'd focus on one suit, not four. (Even if I would stick with the cards theme.) The primary logo looks unfinished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear69designs Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I like it alot! Trim the crossbar on the "G" and you've got a winner IMO. Very creative! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
