leggman01 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 there is no real greensboro gryphons fantasy team, but i sketched a gryphon and i like names with alliteration so, here you have it - this is the first logo i've done completely in illustrator...didn't lean on any of the old tools for a crutchc&c appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansdooma Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I'm fairly certain it's not spelled that way. Nice logo, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I'm fairly certain it's not spelled that way. Nice logo, though.Actually it is. Gryphon, Gryphin, Griffon, or Griffin they all can mean the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 looks good, i really like the G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cola Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Yes I like the G too, and glad that you noted it would be the preferred logo for the helmet and not the actual Gryphon...the 'G' would be a much better choice. Nice work man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 With a little tweaking to the helmet logo, you could turn the white negative space into a second "G."

leggman01 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 With a little tweaking to the helmet logo, you could turn the white negative space into a second "G."yeah...i noticed that, but when i played around with it, it just wasn't as strong as the stand alone gthe wordmark is a customized version of "macromedia"...i'm pretty pleased with the way it looks at large sizes...i've got to figure out how to make it look as good smallhere are some additional images wordmarkhelmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCScout76 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Very nice logo - I would recommend doing something with the eyes - need some detail, but don't over do it.The helmet and wordmark are good. Simple concept and well done.Nice Work LeggmanKCScout76  Kansas City Scouts (CHL) Orr Cup Champions 2010, 2019, 2021     St. Joseph Pony Express (ULL)  2023 Champions   Kansas City Cattle (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkaKrock5cent Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 wow thats crazy man!nice work, what programs do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exit 9 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I think the Gryphon is in the Liger Family of mythical beasts. Maybe it's just me, but does it appear as if he's doing "the sprinkler"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I like the little notch on the letter G, etc. I think it needs to be just a smidge deeper, as it's hard to notice unless the letters are big. Those things are nice touches.I think it's ok if you use the grey outline stroke when you're concepting (I know some may disagree, but it's not the finished piece), BUT the stroke is getting in the way on the left (our left) foot. I would just draw that free hand because it's too pointy and you don't need that extra talon outline to stick out. Look at the foot of the Atlanta Falcons logo. They worked around the inner shape to make the outline more streamlined. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leggman01 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 wow thats crazy man!nice work, what programs do you use?no offense meant, dude, but you ask this in almost every logo thread...and i told you it was my first concept done completely in illustrator in the original post - if you're hoping for some magical program that just pops out good logos, it doesn't exist (at least i don't think it does...does it...if so, i want it) - it all starts with what you put on paper with a pencil (or in this case a pen...i sketched the initial concept on a pad in my truck...and i didn't have a pencil) - i've done concepts in paint, paint shop pro and now illustrator, and my best concepts are the ones that look the best on paper, regardless of program (well, to a point...paint is somewhat limiting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things are nice touches.thanks...i agree with you and i'm working on it...truthfully, i think the G is the strongest part of this package...by farI think it's ok if you use the grey outline stroke when you're concepting (I know some may disagree, but it's not the finished piece), BUT the stroke is getting in the way on the left (our left) foot. I would just draw that free hand because it's too pointy and you don't need that extra talon outline to stick out. Look at the foot of the Atlanta Falcons logo. They worked around the inner shape to make the outline more streamlined.yeah, i knew that was a bit off, but i'm not sure how to fix it - i actually didn't use a stroke, but i did an offset path for the outline - i'm still really learning my way around illustrator, so i'm sure that's probably a no-no (obviously, it didn't work correctly, so i did something wrong) - i've played around with the miter limits and i've had varying degrees of success with fixing those issues, but nothing that has taken care of the problem totally...i had resigned myself to doing exactly as you suggestthanks a ton for your input...it's GREATLY appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
