-kj Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Ok, I took a little time today to rough out an idea that's been in my head for a few weeks. My IHL team, the Bulls of St. Paul, needs some logos. I haven't come up with a good idea for the primary logo, but I got an idea for a secondary. It needs some touching up, obviously, but do y'all think there's any hope in this thing? Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

rozilla74 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Reminds me of a set of cap designs that came out a while back where they used the initials of an NFL team, the team colors, and some sort of design element to identify the team. I even think they did NBA caps but not sure. The design has potential, might be a bit more complicated looking than it needs to be. If I have any spare time I'll lend a hand (no promises). It's hard to find some free time with a newborn but I like personal projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 I'll take those as "that steam thing, work on that." (Yes, it's supposed to be steam/smoke/what have you. That's supposed to be a snout/nose/whatever.) Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Avenger Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Maybe eliminate the snout/steam and the tail, leaving the horns. That'll get the point accross just as well, maybe even better because you'll have eliminated a few elements, putting more emphasis on the best executed and most distinguishing one.

That'll get the point accross just as well, maybe even better because you'll have eliminated a few elements, putting more emphasis on the best executed and most distinguishing one.I agree with the idea of simplifying it. The horns tell the story, but I think you'd be ok leaving the tail on if you liked it.I can see where you are going with the snorting/steam, but it's not there yet. If you decide to stick with it, you really, and I mean really, have to make it a nose with TWO nostrils because ONE orifice, well...it makes it look like it's taking a poo.Also, the steam, even if done right will still make it more 'cartoony' overall, while the same logo without is more graphic and less juvenile.Overall, it's really cool though.

CDunn Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 remove the snout and the smoke and you're on your way. The letters themselves need some cleaning up. The outlines of the letters look MS Paintish. For example, the hole in the P's black outline isn't straight, but goes down a little. Also, the place where the S and P intersect at the edge of the stem of the P near the tail of the S looks wierd. The break in the P's outline is fine, but the tail needs to either curve at that point more or less so you don't wind up ith a straight line at that intersection. Does that make any sense? fixed up, this could be a cool shoulder logo. The horns are cool.For basic ideas for a bull logo, look around at teams like Chicago Bulls, U of Omaha Mavericks, U of Buffalo Bulls, and others. A staight forward view, no matter how different, would garnush some Chicago Bulls references, so I'd go with a profile or 3/4 view.Oh, and in hopes of a red jersey, I'd make the bull black.

-kj Posted November 4, 2003 Author Share Posted November 4, 2003 Wow, that's pretty interesting. Nice job. I'm not so sure about the fade either, but I'm sure there's a way to work around that that would still look good. The only other suggestion I would have would be to turn the horns sightly at the ends, more like a real bull.Now, of course, my original design is looking... er... inadequate...

rozilla74 Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 I usually don't like fades either but I didn't want the "S" and "P" to totally separate but it might look good without it. The one thing I wanted to add was the "T" so that it was reminiscent of the St. Louis Cardinal's initials. Thought that might help make it fit St. Paul better. Mockba, if you'd like the Illustator file to play with I can email it to ya? What version do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
