Klydefrog Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am still at my conference til tomorrow and don't have my source files with me. I will look to add some of the suggestions, but not all. When I post the next one I will explain (defend) my decision to use/not use them.i also have an idea for a secondary logo that could also be used for the cap logo, but I want to work that up before saying any more about, else someone might beat me to the punch and design it, lol.

Klydefrog Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Okay after much internal debate I decided to ditch the simple sans-serif font for one with some serifs. I tweaked the colors of the wordmark a bit for readability.I decided not to us the asymmetrical beveled mountains though because I feel the simplicity of my original design works best.Now for the secondary logo. I wanted to incorporate the ball from their original logo and was inspired by St Patty's use of the Colorado flag for his Avs alt logo. I know the C looks like the cubs a bit but it is almost an exact trace of the Colorado flag and the ball represents the circle inside of it. Not the most original idea, but i think it fits.I have uni's as well, I will post them in another reply so as not to take up too much in this one Cynergy Digital Design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsox Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Something looks off. Maybe you should make the black between the C and other places purple. It looks weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klydefrog Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Here are the unis, The template is one that I created myself.Home:Away:Alt:I still need to clean up the wordmarks a bit but you get the ideaSomething looks off. Maybe you should make the black between the C and other places purple. It looks weird.No it looks fine, the inner black outline lines up perfectly with the outline of the ball as intended.

DDR Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Okay, well you said you're going to clean up the wordmarks, so I won't mention that they need cleaning up, but just one thing: That template isn't doing you any favors. It just doesn't look good. It's boxy and blocky and I don't see your design (which I like) looking good on it, even after the aforementioned wordmark clean up.

logodawg Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 The new font is not doing it for me. You need to find a font that is simple and bold, yet still has a sort of "rough" feel you need for the Rockies. Also, something is lost when you put your alt logo on the purple cap. I once had a car but I crashed it. I once had a guitar but I smashed it. I once, wait where am I going with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsox Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 BTW, the C logo is too similar to the Cubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsox Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Yeah, I did. But that doesn't mean it still doesn't look like the Cubs logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick 1733 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Yeah, I did. But that doesn't mean it still doesn't look like the Cubs logo.He expressed the fact that he knows it looks similar to the Cubs 'C' logo, which in turn means you don't have to say it again... In other words, your post was useless, as usual. MLB, NBA, NFL & NHL Font Packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klydefrog Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 Updated unis, I cleaned up the wordmarks and made black the dominant color for the hats and the alt. I consider these to be done and will be moving on the another team, not sure which yet. Thanks for the C+C. Cynergy Digital Design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logodawg Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Art is never done, it's just abandoned Anyway, the cap logo looks much better on the black. That and the font is growing on me.

McCall Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 The presentation could use a lot of cleaning up. Ha ha ha ha ha ha... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... ha ha ha ha... ... Sorry. This is from another thread, but I just couldn't stop laughing.Anyways... honestly, if you used a different template, I think this would be better conveyed. I think the template is what's causing some problems to be seen, it just doesn't quite show off everything that well. I, myself, am not too crazy with the font choice, but I don't necessarily think it's a wrong choice, if you get what I mean. I think, with maybe a little customization, it would be really nice. You're only showing improvement, so keep at it. If this is it for your Rockies, okay. Hell, you portrayed an idea, the diamond/mountain, that was so obvious that no one had ever thought of it. So you did a great job on this, and hopefully in of the constructive criticism you recieved will only prove to help you on whichever team you decide to move onto next. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
