Brauny1280 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 The improvements are GREAT! I personally like the second one where the nose flows into the eyes ala the Chicago Bulls logo. This is really turning out to be a nice professional looking logo. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shylockthejew Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I think the eyes are a little far apart for a bear...but otherwise its good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korkie Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 making the head "fatter" was the key thing with this. It looks much more like a bear now. Before I saw more of a dog with bear ears. Now I look at it and know its a bear. The ferocity is also improved. Well done.

whitedawg22 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 This has come a million miles since the first rendition. I think if you're looking for more ferocity and realism, you could still add some rough edges around the outside (without going into the lumpy effect) by making the outline skinnier and adding tufts of hair/uneven lines, similar to the Chicago Bears logo.But if you're going for a sleeker, more stylized logo (like the Baylor one posted on the first page), I think you're already on the right track. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

bigbaldben Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 better, worse or indifferent? Love it. This is a great thread - the evolution of a logo.I would suggest sharpening or straightening the upper corners of the mouth. Right now, the lips seem to come down over the teeth on the corners and it looks a little less like it's baring it's teeth than it could.For example, look at the upper corners of the Chicago and Baylor bears posted previously. It might help give it more of a snarl.But, again, looks great as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb05 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Gets better with every change. This is so cool to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I would drape one side of the face in shadow to give it some depth, some drama, and some extra sweetness. If there's one thing I learned from this, it's that head on renderings are difficult, and exact symmetry is boring and flat.

Shane Does Art Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 It looks like the bear's eyes are looking in seperate directions fix the highlights. Hi, how are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 better, worse or indifferent? MUCH better. I know this has already been said but this logo is about as professional looking as they come.Great work!

leggman01 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 working on some shading...does this work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 It works a little bit, but bring the black into the shading and connect it with the black outline to reduce the number of colors. Any of Andrew's logos illustrate this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman65 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Amazing progress that you've made here. After looking at this for a minute, I would say that the only thing I would still tinker with is the eyes. They still look a little softened to me...like "he's the angry bear but with a heart of gold." I don't know what you might do to tinker with it...maybe add some definition lines under the eyes, make him look a little wizened, angrier, etc? Maybe the shading will produce the same effect.

leggman01 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 thanks for the suggestions, especially to mings & tempest - i think i've got a solution worked out in my head...now i just need to put it on paper and then digitize it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggman01 Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 does this work...it's got a bit of a grizzlies feel to it...i'm just not sure...it's late and i've looked at it too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Its definitely getting there. I would just work on the shading some more (the right side is a little Ultimate Warrior-esque in appearance right now). The eyes could use some work as well. With the new shading, they lose some of the fierceness.Keep going on it, it will turn into a great portfolio piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigboy1083 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I don't know if this is any help, but I think that if you defined the teeth more it might look a little meaner. Thanks KaTo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltravisjr Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Man, that last version really pops. I can make one comment on the eyes. The white highlights in the pupils - they should be in the same part of the pupil in each eye. Right now one is in the center left and the other in the upper left. Just make them the same and make sure they stay on the left sideof the pupils since your shadows suggest that's where your light is coming from.You know, I have been working on a similar bear logo. I think I'm just going to have to shelf it for now LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
