nitroseed Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I don't think anyone has seen this concept from me, so this will be new to everyone. This isn't even posted on my website.As some of you might know, I worked briefly on developing a logo for the Austin Wranglers expansion AFL franchise. (For those of you who know who the group was, I'll ask that you not mention them by name. Thanks!) One of my preliminary ideas was submitted to the team, but they did not accept it. This concept I am showing you was cut from the presentation before it ever reached the team, so they never saw this one.My concept for this was a stylized bull skull, which is a rare icon in sports identity, with the exception for the University of Texas Longhorns. That was my primary motive in developing this: the familiarity with that symbol in the Austin area. However, it was mentioned after-the-fact that the team did not want any references to longhorns or skulls specifically because of the presence of UT. Therefore, this concept was cut. But, now, here it is for your viewing pleasure.Austin Wranglers Logo/Uniform ConceptsAs always, feedback is welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee. Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Sweet. You could put some skin on that skull and send it to the Omaha Beef, they'd automatically have the best logo in the Niffle.I like that a lot...good job, NS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez Street Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 As always sweet job. If you didn't know Nitro, I talked to you about using that logo. After I got your permission the Buffalo Gamblers in our ULL league are using it. It's not a real league, but it's out there......sorta. http://theull.8m.com/buffalo.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynomind Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Love it. Great work. You have done excellently.But...Just to be contrary... i'd like to see you experiment a little more with your alternate jerseys. Simply the third color is a little... i dunno.. easy.

nitroseed Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 Granted. And I will do so. But, really, has the NFL done much groundbreaking with their thirds besides the third color? If it's hockey, I usually go all out, but football seems to stick more to the main design and just alternates the colors.Either way, I will take you up on that.

hrivnak Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Love the concept and the uniforms. Much better than what they went with, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I really liked this logo - and the others that Brad (aka Nitro) contributed to the project. Now seeing the entire package, I like it even more.There was another concept of Brad's that I liked even better, one that in my opinion may have influenced the final design.(For those of you who know who the group was, I'll ask that you not mention them by name. Thanks!)I don't mind you mentioning my name on this board, I think you did a great job on this project and I'm glad to have my name associated with it. Furthermore, these concepts are your's and your's alone, you should feel comfortable to display them as you see fit.Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JQK Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 really really really like those uniforms. Very Nice. The logo kicks it as well. A very nice package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladdy16 Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 By far the best uniforms I've seen from you Nitro, I love the colors and I love the look, great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 you heard the man nitro let the flood gates open...lol... well if he is really who he says he is...lolYep, that's really him I might show off the other logo I did. Personally, I'm not really happy with the status it's in. I know Joe liked it more than this one, but I can't say I shared the sentiment. Maybe I'll tune it up a little and post it.

misterhabs Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Great job all around Nitro.I think your concept is definitely more original than the final version. I can't wait to see some of your other concepts.Misterhabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMS1122 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 great at usual nitro...looking forward to seeing this other one you came up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajmccall Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Great stuff. I think the colors work really nice. Good choice on the Typeface, its appropriate.On the 'dark side' of the bovine, i noticed you strayed from the lowlight around the head/horn accents. I always have trouble deciding whether introducing another low light on a shaded area is a good idea. Sure its shaded, so you dont necesarily need another lowlight, but i always wonder, well it still gets darker in those symerical areas. I guess im wondering your reason, if any on that.But i love your style, very clean, very aggressive. Id love to see things you did for people under strict provisions too. It always interesting to see how people inject their style into sheltered projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
