cyandlux Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I didnt want to do a style guide thinking that would be a little too presumptuous. Also, they have an interlocking PR logo that is used as a primary logo which would be bumped to secondary status, and the paw would be a third. Also baseball and softball are pretty set in their ways, other sports can use the logo and I designed a few examples of what those would look like. (the first one is soccer, the star represents our 1 league championship that I was a part of)C&C, thoughts, ideas, presentation suggestions, etc. all welcome.

leggman01 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 personally, i'm not a fan of the sport specific applications - i think you should find a way to work the sport name into the wordmark application rather than incorporating the ball/megaphone, etc into the application...but that's just my opinioni also think this latest wordmark is your weakest - the thin white outline is distracting, and the gray area is too boxy - the logo and wordmark need to be connected more effectively, as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I agree, too many outlines on the wordmark and the grey area doesn't work.Try some sketching of a custom font that would work with very little outlining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmw_29 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Wordmark definitely needs work, however, the logo is light-years better than it was when you first posted it. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewp80 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 The middle two are the best by far, but I'm more partial to number 3. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarperK Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 you need to use a more custom looking font, what you have now looks real un-professional ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutz Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I don't mind the wordmark. I agree, the middle two are the best. As far as the sports specific ones go, I'd try to fit the logo onto the ball or cheer cone, rather than just slap it on. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggman01 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 if it were me, i would remove the gray outline from the logo and wordmark initially and fit the logo above the wordmark so that the neck is behind the wordmark and the chin is in front of it...THEN i would outline the entire thing with the gray...

cyandlux Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 I brought back the hill as in the other previous thread. Also, I havent cleaned anything up yet....this is just to get your thoughts about the newish wordmark....(pick one)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is definately the way to go. You should have a Panther head by iteself. A word mark by itself. And then one logo that has the two combined as stated above. Its a bit more work, but it will look much better. The problem is that the panther head just looks "tacked-on" to the wordmark. The gray outline from the head overlapping the "C" looks shoddy. By doing the above suggestion, it would link the two elements together better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltravisjr Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 These are all looking very nice already, but I would really like to see the neck of the cat extend all the way down to the wordmark. Right now it looks like it should be mounted on a lodge cabin wall, but if you make this edit I think it will look like it is actually behind the wordmark and leaning out over it.LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottysprings Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Honestly, the logo looks great, but it's so obvious how it's based off the panthers logo. I'm sure you don't really want to change much about it because it looks great now but I think a little tweaking could really make it a unique logo.

cyandlux Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Yes, unfortunately the neck became more or less identical to the Panthers, but I feel it is unique enough and works well. I've tried several diferent designs and this one seems to be proven, maybe I will look at it with fresh eyes today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Am A Flaming Douche Bag Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 The soccer one could be better, it looks funny to me for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyandlux Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 I attempted several new necks, none of which were as good as this one.....we'll all just have to live with the "panther" similarities...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggman01 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 the middle option combines the two pieces perfectly, in my opinion and loses most of the panthers similarities (other than the fact that both are roaring cats) - great work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
