-kj Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 "RailHawks"? Oh, that's awful.Y'know, you could take the railway out, clean up the hawk a little bit (though, I rather like the style of it) and move it down into the crest more, and you've got a bitchin' "Hawks" crest.

Brian in Boston Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 What I find particularly annoying about the hawk is how skewed the perspective of the bird is. We're looking "down" onto the hawk's wings while simultaneously looking "up" and "in" to the hawk's splayed talons. That's jarring.Further, the hawk's wings, tail and face are all rendered in a rather stylized manner that is vaguely reminiscent of something you'd see on an automobile hood ornament, while the talons are more realistic.

Primal Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 A better sense of perspective on the bird would have been nice, but made-up name aside I quite like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything Bri said goes double for me.Except that part about the tail. Redtails tails aren't super duper true red. Kinda rusty orangey red.So I don't mind this tail.Styles and perspectives are mixed and confusing. But I wouldn't say this is bad by any means.Oh, and the Carolina disappears entirely in small versions.

Ron Mexico Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Count me in the minority, but I like it.The name maes enough sense, I like that the badge is unique (with the logo sort of coming out of the badge shape), and it's a nice color scheme. While the FC doesn't really belong there, I can forgive it, because it combines a lot of the elements I personally like in a logo.And it's not nearly as bad as LandSharks, RiverSharks, SkySharks (is that real? Probably) or anything of that nature.Thumbs up.

Titanole Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Death to all these stupid contrived hybrid names! There used to be a club in Chattanooga called the Railroaders. That's much better than the mythical Railhawks. We should come up with the most ridiculous made-up names we can think of. How about Skysnakes, Forest Whales, or Ice Scorpions?And I like the FC, but not necessarily where it is place in the logo. You know, say what you will about America. Thirteen bucks still gets you a hell of a load of mice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titanole Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 ...Skysnakes... Would those be snakes on a plane? Yeah, I know. I thought of that just after I posted it. Just think of the cross-marketing possibilities. You know, say what you will about America. Thirteen bucks still gets you a hell of a load of mice.

It needs to be something that combines two opposites.DesertPenguinsIceLionsSkyBullsSky Snakes will probably happen, with the SoaP phenomenon (which I first mentioned on this board, KISS THE RINGS!)Also, there ARE actually flying snakes. They don't really fly, they just glide, but they are called flying snakes.
