Shane Does Art Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I would bring the tail closer to it's butt and give it more of a curve, it looks kind of stiff.(if you know what I mean) Hi, how are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koizim Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Well... my 3 year-old daughter thinks it's cute... but I dunno if that what you're going for Engine, Engine, Number Nine, on the New York transit line, If my train goes off the track, pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! Back on the scene, crispy and clean, You can try, but then why, 'cause you can't intervene. We be the outcast, down for the settle. Won't play the rock, won't play the pebble.

BallWonk Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 As has been said, the tail should meet the body with a curve, not an angle. The hindquarters should be a little lower than the front shoulder -- i.e. the back should angle down somewhat from front to back -- both because that's actually how most dogs are built and because it will help you a little with depth. (Proportionally, this probably means longer front legs than you've got now.) And you would get a little more of an aggressive stance if you pushed the head a bit forward and angled the neck to match. Make it look more like the dog is "pointing" to prey. I know, not exactly the right kind of dog to be pointing, but all dogs have the same basic vocabulary of body language, and this will make your dog logo look less like he's waiting to be petted and more like he's stalking prey. But in general, this is an excellent illustration. However, the short neck and front legs make this look more like a puppy than a mature dog. (Which to some extent is not your "fault", but rather inherent in your choice of breeds, but still. You can and should use some creative license to make even a dog of roughly this breed look like a mature canine.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zig Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Hopefully these two pictures help. The tail is curved more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDR Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 The mouth needs a little more definition. It might help if you let us know what this logo is for and what attributes you're looking to stress. Your logo seems to stress loyalty and a certain regality. The dog is strong. If you're stressing that, dead on. If you're looking to give off the impression of aggression, you have a little more work to do. An aggressive dog would lower his front legs more.

Lumbergh Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 Well, I'm not looking for agression, more of just loyalty. This is for a football logo, so... I see what you guys mean about the tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you guys mean about the tail.im not so sure if its great for a football team, for a company, of course. but maybe not a football team.that said the design is good, the only change is the tail.

Taylor R. Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I would make his eyes look happier the look sleepy Go Lakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ_Barlik Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 here's an update:IMO, needs a touch more white around the ears. I also see how you've angled the dog for perspective, but one back leg almost looks too stretched. Also might need a touch of the brown (light brown) at the nostrils - subtle, but still there. 5-time Defending NL East Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cola Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I wanna pet him...he looks sad. Besides the eyes looking sad, I think the area where the top of the inside right leg joins the body looks distorted. Still really good illustration though.

beansdooma Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I don't like how his front feet are further down than his back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyrwulf Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I almost feel like you need to add in some black lines to give definition to the body and mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
