illwauk Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 This was born out of my attempt to modernize the Packers "heisman" logo from the Lombardi era. But while I don't think it's impossible, I think that task is a little out of my talent range. So then I tried to do something in the same vein by more original. Then I found out how limiting the Packers identity package is. Anyway, I ended up with this which I think is meh at best, but at least the Packers would have somethin' to use something other than the G.

Audiodrama Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Wow, I actually like that alot. It's very simple and old-fashioned, which is exactly the mood the Pack go for. Very nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I found out how limiting the Packers identity package is. Anyway, I ended up with this which I think is meh at best, but at least the Packers would have somethin' to use something other than the G.It's growing on me. I like how all the elements are derived from actual pieces of their identity from now and/or the past. A minor thing, though - while the P fits into the state pretty well, it is right of center on the ball. Is there any chance it could be scooted over?LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 NFL footballs don't have white stripes like college one's do.IF you lost the stripes, you could make the state a little larger, maybe a little more subtle (use a slightly different shage of green) and then make the P yellow.ORIF you are bent on keeping the stripes, maybe make the state larger so the P could be centered. Make the state hide behind the stripes, so the state looks like part of the leather. Then center the P, and put a little star where Green Bay actually is (like how the Angels old logo had a star on LA.)

Sec19Row53 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Good ideas so far.1 - The Packer logo on which this is based (meaning the state) had stars representing Green Bay and Milwaukee.2 - It also had stripes on the ball (I think).How about leaning the ball from upper left to lower right, as if it were on a kicking tee? This might make the state fit the ball a little better.How about the old "GB" that the Lombardi staff had on their baseball hats? It's where I sit.

This might make the state fit the ball a little better.How about the old "GB" that the Lombardi staff had on their baseball hats?I acutally did something like that awhile ago and thought it turned out surprisingly well.And you're right, the orignal ball... although technically inaccurate... had stipes on it. There were also dots (but not stars) marking Green Bay and Milwaukee on the original. I decided to not include them because the purpose for that back then was to mark the two cities they played home games in. But now, they only play in Green Bay which I didn't mark because I thought it would contradict the idea of showing that the Packers are a "Wisconsin" team.This is some good C&C from everyone though... I'll see what I can come up with when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike2sana Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 nice classic logo but the inter-locking letters not so much ATL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP1719 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I like the football one but it looks way to old fashinoned for the packers. The stripes have to go and you have a nice alternate. The Letters are cool but not packers material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Now this, I like. This, or the original "GB" logo it's based on, should be what's adorning the Packers' helmets. Makes more sense for a team from Green Bay then just a "G".

spyboy1 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I like the stripes on the football. They are retro to me, like the Packers with their long history.The one suggestion that I would have would be to try to rotate the football counter-clockwise so it was angled to match the slanted shape of the state and see if you like that. It could be a little more dynamic that way. Sort of implies a ball in flight.something like this...

illwauk Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Not much to explain here.

VitaminD Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Really nice work, and nice integration of some of the C&C.For what it's worth, the top left one is the best of the lot - more green/gold, with a minimum of white.I know someone mentioned how the white stripes don't belong on an NFL football, but they look just fine. If you really wanted to do something about that, you could probably put in a faint line (white? gold?) tracing the seam of the football, and offset some white laces on either side of the Wisconsin outline. Personally, I wouldn't do anything but call this done, step back and let this be admired. Well done. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would flatten it out in a good way... so it looks more like a complete logo and less like a stack of football-state-P. i could be way off but i'd love to see what they look like.
