kewp80 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 These are for my fantasy baseball team, the Keystone Hilltoppers. My fantasy football team is called the Keystone Irish, and I have a logo for them on the next page I believe. Anyway, I got the inspiration for the top logo from the Anaheim Angles, and the bottom one from pretty much all the circle logos in MLB. Tell me which one you like. Uniforms should be coming soon as well.C&C Please! Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor R. Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 They both look good but i'm gonna go with the second one because i like the font better Go Lakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltravisjr Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I prefer the second one, but really would prefer that "Hilltoppers" be centered one the ball rather then at the bottom of it. LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarperK Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 ya #2 would look great with some type of "Hilltopper" mascot. ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallWonk Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Personally, I'd be inclined to use the keystone shape from your football team's logo as the basis for the Hilltoppers logo as well. I mean, for a team called the Keystone anything, I'd be looking to the Little League logo for inspiration, not the Angels and the Rangers:The first of your concepts is just a jumble of things sharing the same space for a minute or two. It's a juxtaposition, not a logo. Plus it's not even the actual shape of a baseball diamond -- the arc of the first-to-third stretch is all wrong.The second is the superior of the two, in that it hangs together more like a single logo. However, the script is weak -- thin letters, uneven curves, and a poorly integrated underline swoosh. Needs improvement, repositioning across the center of the logo, and some kind of outline, drop shadow, or something to give it emphasis. But if there was ever a team that called out for arched lettering where the letters look like they're perched atop a hill, it would be the Hilltoppers, no?

Epiphanic Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 As they stand, the first one is better because it's balanced. The second one has the potential to be the better of the two. Either center "Hilltoppers" on the ball or add something to the middle so there isn't so much "blank space" on the ball. I think a thicker border around the ball would look a little better too.

leggman01 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I prefer the second one, but really would prefer that "Hilltoppers" be centered one the ball rather then at the bottom of it. and arched...and maybe choose a script that is "bolder" and has bigger, wider letters and an outline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 I couldn't find a good cursive font for free. I wanted something like the Orioles or the Brewers. I'll work more on the second one tonight when I get home. Thanks for the imput guys! Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

kewp80 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 Alright, did a few changes, added a drop shadow to the "Hilltoppers" script, made the ball outline bigger, and added a keystone in the circle. Tell me what you think.EDIT: Made a second logo with a different font, and with it curved. Also made the outline of the ball red. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

leggman01 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 arch that script font and you're close...not sure how i feel about the keystone in the middle, but it could work - have you tried putting the ball inside of the keystone?...just a thoughtteam spirit is a free font that seems a little bolder than what you're using...might work well for this application if your looking for a different script font Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leggman01 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 the script looks better, but you've gotta work at lining the tail up a little better, especially around the H and i'd give it a few degrees more arch...not much, but just enough to make the arch more apparentin my earlier post i was suggesting putting the entire logo inside of the keystone shape, but i actually think i like the 2nd logo best from a composition standpoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 Alright I just recently brought this back into gear and came up with some new stuff:This one just seems like it's missing something in the back, but I can't figure out what to do, I tried putting the yellow behind the keystone, but it didn't look so good.This one I like the colors a lot better, but it just seems incomplete.C&C much appreciated!

SG30 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 The text arching is a little awkward on the top of the 2nd new concept. But that's my favorite once you fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 Just wondering, what's awkward about it? Does it need to be more arched or less arched? Anyway, I made a combination of the two: Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHcreative Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Just wondering, what's awkward about it? Does it need to be more arched or less arched? Anyway, I made a combination of the two:Less arched, the arch you have now looks a little bit triangular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucaMaz3 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I think the combo logo looks good. A few comments, however:1) Taking a quick glance at it, I think one would read it "Hilltoppers Keystone". You might want to put the banner on top of the wordmark.2) Maybe an odd choice of colors. I would go with only two to make it more traditional.
