Joshawaggie Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I LOVE the full beard, but as a critique, and to keep a part of the old style logo, would it be possible to slighty outline, or just make a tad prominent the mustache part of the beard? I think the long mustache of the current logo is killer, that along with your beard would be simply magical. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipdopdillywip Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 amazing logo, as are the sports logos on your website! i especially like the vikings logo without the beard and crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 This Vikings fan doesn't like the bearded logo at all. Yes, it's more realistic, but if you wanted to be totally realistic, you'd go without horns on the helmets since real Vikings didn't wear horned helmets. That's just a legend, but a great legend it has become.But I really like the updated moustached Viking. It's a smoother transition from the old Viking logo. Great job.

Vicious Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 looks really good man, you use ps, or illustrator, or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJTALBOT Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Unbelievably good.Would real vikings have time to braid each other's hair before a battle?What if you made the viking's helmet purple to match the football team?Great job!

PWG44 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 That's damn good... I really admire your work.My only critique would be that your version needs the braid over his shoulder like the current logo. I feel braids really give the logo the feel of a viking.

leggman01 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 really nice work, js - i especially like the first version...the lines are really clean and it would be a great modernization for the vikings - i do, however, think the purple outline is a little too thick...maybe back off a pt or 2 - i also agree with ballwonk on the neck issue...an easy fix would to bring an extra lock of hair in and let it fall in front of the neck as the braid currently doesi think the shield would make a fantastic alternate or secondary (with the first, non-bearded viking in it), but i think the viking should fill more of the shield and i would change the shield background to the yellow-gold color for 2 reasons 1.) it would be more realistic...the yellow gold has a metallic feel to it and 2.) it would allow you to see the entire logo, outline and allgreat work, as always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js ° Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 thanks everyone for the feedback and compliments ...leggman ... i agreed with the thickness of the purple outline (i made an effort to use purple much more for this, as i think its the dominant color in the scheme, and in fandom 'purple people eaters', 'purple pride', etc), so here it is now with an updated gold outline:also, for the reason of emphasis on purple, I disagree with the gold shield. Plus the purple shield works much stronger in conjunction with the pants patch on the stripe. I agree with everything you said though, and were it not for those two things ... I would agree with you completely. thanks for the good criticism guys ... keep it coming. ◬☰ ⏣ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtrich11 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Although I like the shield setup, I'm wondering if Vikings had a common shape to their shields. Round, oval, etc. Could be something to think about. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'd like to see a new uniform design with the entire head on the helmet... to me, it would look great (like the Pats helmets in the way it's used).

lich0037 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Nice work js! I like the mustache better just because you can still keep a little of the old design in the new one. I know your trying to emphasize more purple, but to me the purple outline around the head is a little to thick. Maybe its just a personal preference.I definitly dig the jerseys! I enjoy the simplicity and boldness of them. As a Vikings fan the new ones look to much like the Arena Football League jerseys.
