Atlanta Hawks Logo Concept

The hawks would look weird in those colors if you ask me. The color scheme would be unique though. Good job anyway.

"Cat Eyes" - Josh

No matter which one you choose, this is my favorite concept on the boards ever.

EVER!

You need to get into contact with the Hawks now, because this concept I personally believe needs to be their identity.

This concept is that good.

i agree that this is very good overall, but i have another little criticism, just to keep you on your toes. the wordmark on the third jersey doesnt seem to fit the curve design exactly. i would either go back and change the curve of the design to fit the curve of the wordmark(easy way) or go back and change the wordmark to fit the curve(hard way). doing it the easy way would work, but then the wordmark curve still looks wierd. fixing it the hard way would result in a better overall look. ignore me if nobody else sees a problem there.

one thing you could try that might look good is making all the unis in the retro alt style. It would be a modern update to an old look, much like the one the sonics did a few years back.

That looks freaking awesome! Those colours all compliment each other so well. Great job.

It's nice to see I'm becoming more and more of an influence amongst the fine folks of this community!

Nah--on the real, PtnD, I go play in the woods with the Army for five days, come back and see THIS.

And I got two words for you:

SIMPLY. AMAZING.

Those hawk head logos are EXACTLY what I was seeing in my head. Nothing seems forced in any of them. Simple, clean, effective (and the black hawk in the red circle offset by the yellow just has some sort of "mystique" feel to it that I'm REALLY liking). Harkens back to the glory days of the Hawks (the 'Nique days, if you will), and then I see the uniform concepts...good damn dude! Though I'd love the Hawks to keep the red/yellow/black scheme, in the grand scheme of things color-wise, the red/navy/columbia would be HOT, and fit right in with the Thrashers (since "Blueland" is such a hit with the Thrashers fanbase). True, columbia is the new "it" color in the NBA, and as such may soon be seen with the same disdain as navy is now and black was and still is, but in this guise, PtnD, this is an absolutely LOVELY first draft! And that you brought back the "swoopy look" of the 'Nique era as the third is a stroke of genius in the vein of the Cavaliers' alts (the way they integrated the dotted/dashed lines into their thirds from their older days).

You got a bright future in here, kid. Keep it up! (And let me know what's going on with you and IADT too.)

Sherbert,anyone? It's as if the Orlando Thunder and the Hawks merged. I would rank it #2 on the best NBA concept on the board, second only to bucco_B's Utah Jazz powder-and-purple, and that's only because he included photoshopped pictures.

Why thank you, kind sir.

And yeah--I ain't even think of the whole Orlando Thunder connection...but it's true.

Hate to be the guy who points this out... but the logo looks an awful lot like a certain justice league hero. this is the best pic I could find but you can see that the two logos are very similar. Not accusing anybody, just pointing out the similarity.

Well, I worked on fixing up the alternate uniforms. On the left is the first I did. On the middle one, I curved the stripe to match the first wordmark I used. The jersey on the right just has the wordmark rotated left, instead of being warped or ached to follow the curve. This is more like the uniforms that these were based on. Anyways, here they are. C+C is appreciated.

[VitaminD]

The middle jersey fixes the warping problem with the wordmark perfectly. And I still don't know what color combo I like best, which I suppose is a good thing, since the design works beautifully with all 3...
