winters in buffalo Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 The changes are subtle, but all for the better. Personally, I think it's fine with the open body. The only way you'll run into problems is if it's on a dark background. As is, it'll look great on white, gray or even light blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajmccall Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I think this is the right move if you must keep the stomach open.Nice job SyOne thing. Maybe play with the weight of the navy blue, i see a thicker weight behind the head and to the wing being a nice, but undistracting addition.

paynomind Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Sy, it looks great.I will say, on an overall, paletary view.... if you look at this concept alongside others that yuo and I have both commented on. I see one thng in common: It needs thicker lines.This is a common theme in logos all around, and I think... even though you and I have both made this suggestion for MANY a concept, yours could benefit from it as well.Overall, I really like where you are goign with this. I think it needs another review before it is 100% ...but you are very close!Well done.

Phil Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 Almost a full year later, I've revisited this concept. Since then, I had modified it into a Winnipeg Eagles concept (see that thread here), but I was never happy with it.I decided to simplify. Not quite as simple as the Eagles, but nowhere near as complex as the last version in this thread. Without further ado... version 4.You'll notice I changed the colour scheme. This is the colour scheme I've implemented at the church, playing off the colours featured on our building.While I'm fairly happy with this result, I'm struggling with how to put this on a non-white background. I could go the colour replacement route (where, like the Toronto Maple Leafs or Calgary Flames, the colours of the logo change depending on the background) or I could go with a white outline. However if I go with outlines (which would be the more efficient way of going about it... one logo for all applications as opposed to a different logo for every application), with the rather abstract wings I'd be forced to add more feathers to the wings (because it wouldn't look right with just the leading lines I've got here outlined). I'm still working on it, but let me know... all C&C welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggman01 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 syphi - i really like the evolution of this concept - maybe you could use the tannish color as an outline, allowing you to put it on any color background?i understand why you changed the colors, but the blues really worked for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 One more update...A bit busier than I wanted, so I added some white space to the wings to make them lighter.I liked the simplicity of the last one a little more, but this one is certainly more practical, and the wings turned out better than I expected.

Mings Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I have to say I really like this a lot. I would maybe try connecting the wings with the wordmark. Maybe that would connect the wordmark and logo more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcats Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I like this a lot too. How about adding some stripes to mimic the angle of the E and S to close it out a little. I'm a really bad artist but maybe something like this.Or you can make it like Boston College's logo/wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeh-see Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Great work, Sy. Nothing less than usual, however. Could i throw out this simple question? You can shoot it down as fast as I typed it if youd like, but...is there a way you could incoporporate the red into the eagle somehow, even if subtley (ie, the eye or the highlight on said eye). Just a question, not a critique, I like it regardless.~UJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMan Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Much much better "We have nothing to fear except fear itself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeeman Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 It looks as thought the eagle is pointing somewhere. Hey, maybe he's "calling his shot."In all seriousness though, I think the 2nd version looks much better. The modification of the wing gives the eagle more fluidity and movement.

jWilson4mvp Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Add another wing (to the other side)Maybe someone said that, but I'm not readiong through all the posts Rah rah rah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 Add another wing (to the other side)Maybe someone said that, but I'm not readiong through all the posts Obviously not. Try looking at the posts from this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 the wings turned out better than I expected. The main wing is quite the joy to behold. Perhaps make the other wing a little larger (well, closer to the viewer at least)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
