shiznit1083 Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I love where you're going with this, but I have a few suggestions.1. Make the "XL" bigger, maybe going outside of the box.2. Clean up the bottom left corner shadow on the "L", something not right about it.3. Arch the lower letter too.I really like the concept, but I always envisioned the Super Bowl XL logo having a automobile theme to it. Either way, This one could be used for any super bowl, just change the letters. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JQK Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 I always envisioned the Super Bowl XL logo having a automobile theme to it.Well, the shield is loosly (very loosely) based on the Ford shield. Looking at it now, i think it does need something "else". I thought that before, but i thought i could get away with it.... hmmmmmm..... what to do...

slapshot Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 You could do a play on words for Super Bowl 40, the Super Bowl that's so big, it's Extra Large (XL). I know it's a pun, but I can see it getting marketed that way. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezreiter3 Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Love the conceptbut.....Arizona and Atlanta likely wouldn't play each other in the Super Bowl, with them being in the same conference and all Great logos though,Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayhawksfan123 Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Don't gimme crap about the firld, i know it's two NFC teams, i just slap-dashed it together to give an idea what the XL logo would look like at midfield. everything else is irrelevant, just there as space-filler...Love the conceptbut.....Arizona and Atlanta likely wouldn't play each other in the Super Bowl, with them being in the same conference and all Great logos though, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job.i agree a lot with what shiznit said here, arc the bottom text to, to balance things out a little better, and emphasize the "XL". overall very nice concept GMS on dribbbleErie Apparel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JQK Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 nice updates, just arch that "FORD FIELD - DETROIT, MICHIGAN" upwards, then it will be great ::tried, can't, don't know how.. i can do a text that arches down, but i can't arch it from the top of the text.XXXI has a top-arched text, and the bottom text flat, so it has been done, it's not new.

TLChandler Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 After looking at this I am wondering how gay the 50th super bowls logo is going to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 After looking at this I am wondering how gay the 50th super bowls logo is going to look.At that time, and until roman numerals actually look like roman numerals again (as opposed to being LI, LIII, LIV, etc), I'm guessing they'll use normal numbers.That said, if they could get it so that Super Bowl 55 is in Las Vegas, that would make for a cool tie-in.JQK your logo is pretty tight, although IMO not tied in to Detroit enough (outside of the colours maybe). Most of the logos have some kind of defining element that identifies the city in which it's being played (and no, writing Detroit underneath doesn't count). You know what I mean.Also, the "Ford Field - Detroit Michigan" text needs to be larger, as does the date. It's too small. I also almost think it'd be more important for the location text at the bottom to be curved up than it would be for the date text to be curved down, just because of the way the shield is shaped, and the resulting white space. It's your call.Nice job JQK, this Illustrator thing is working out for you nicely. Good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagan696 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 to arch text upward (in Illustrator):use pen tool to create your curve path or contour out x amount.next, select fit text to path (drag text tool to the T on a curve) and click on the path.set text (copy/paste, etc.).then use the direct-selection tool (with the white arrow, not black) and drag the text "I-beam" bar upward toward the logo. you can use the I-beam to center, etc.i like the logo, good job!

hrivnak Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Looks good to me, but I would get rid of the lower part of the serif at the bottom of the "L"It looks too much like plumbing to me, I think a nice, straight line across the bottom would come across better.
