scottysprings Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Hey, everyone. I've been working on this for my NABL team the Vancouver Mounties. I think the unis and word mark came out great but I need some help on my mountie logo. It's my first illustrator logo and I can't figure out where to put his eye and in what position and how to use shadows on his face. I'm not sure if I should make him aggressive or nice either. All C&C is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_prankster Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 The mountie guy has no eye. Reminds me of those aliens. The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottysprings Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 I know, that's why I asked for help on placing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 i like the identity so far, i think the eyebrow has to go so you can fit in an eyeball, and then put it basically where the eyebrow is now. I am guessing you are using names of Minnesota Timberwolves players throughout history, Kevin Garnett, Lance Blanks, and Terry Porter, but what is the significance of the numbers? KG is 21, so was Lance Blanks, and Porter was 30. i liked the subliminal pinstripes and the mountie hat on the back over the name, finish the mountie's face and it will be great.

All C&C is appreciated.i think an eye right below the eyebrow would work (i know, it sounds crazy, but give it a shot )and i would make him "nice"...your wordmark is somewhat whimsical, as are the numbers and the hat...making him aggressive would seem out of place i really like what you've done with the wordmark and the hat is a really nice touch...i wouldn't overuse the mountie himself - the uniforms are really nice and i like the ghost stripes - the "v" on the waistband looks larger than the waistband itself, though very solid work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 It's to cartooney for me, Mounties are serious people and to have a logo with a guy smilling is wrong. I think a M with the hat on it would be a geat logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1_ILWT_1 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 werent the grizzlies originally gonna be called the mounties? lol GO GIANTS GO!!!mia Marek SchwarzTHANK YOU TREVOR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottysprings Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Here's what I did. You can see the mountie himself as an alternate. eRay- haha, actually they are just completely made up players in a simulation basketball league- Jason Garnett, Billy Blanks, and Casey Porter. I didn't actually realize that they were t-wolves players. Brendan- haha I guess my thinking was off. Unless it really offends people, I think the smile is the right way to go. I was going for the whole Dudley Doorite theme as the cartoony and friendly mountie. No offense intended towards any RCMP or LE official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drevel Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 All the jerseys look great. The black one for some reason just catches my eye. A+ work. Nice update on the mounte nice & scruffy guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J23P Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 fantastic concept! what i would do is maybe make the Mountie's face not a side profile but a 3/4 profile. i know you dont want to offend anyone, but try lowering his eyebrow and maybe have him gnashing his teeth. i give this an A+ as well!!

DelayedPenalty Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Everything looks great! I might suggest changing the color of the lettering and number on the tan colored jersey. The mountie still doesn't look quite right, the head seems out of proportion in comparison to the hat...can't really put my finger on what needs to be done.

Looking 3/4 of the way forward. I think this would work & look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwtrailtrekker Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 im not really too hott on the name mounties to begin with, and the logo kinda seems to be mocking the name, what with the nose and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottysprings Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Although I disagree with the whole "offensive" card, I changed it up anyway. I need some more time to work on the montie head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Québécois Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 It's to cartooney for me, Mounties are serious people and to have a logo with a guy smilling is wrong. I think a M with the hat on it would be a geat logo.No, I don't agree because it would look a lot like The Mavericks a couple of years agohttp://www.chriscreamer.com/logo.php?lo=4745This concept is really great but it seems to me that you don't know what to do with the hat...I think I might have a suggestion...In the word "Vancouver" the letter "O" being the center letter, make it bigger and make it wear the hat!vancOuverJust my opinion... Nice job reallyby the way, the font is really cool, which one is it? Le QUÉBÉCOIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winghaz Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 With a name like Mounties, you should almost have a road alt with red jerseys and black trunks.I also couldn't help but laugh: What if you had their trunks shaped like the Mountie riding trousers?
