TurnTwo 0 Posted July 8, 2007 I've toyed with this for about a month now and I've reached the point where I'm not sure what else to do with it. C&C would be greatly appreciated. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EddieJ1984 1,667 Posted July 8, 2007 I like it a bit for some reason.Better than people doing the yankee hat on the NY logo.I wouldnt like this on the yankee's tho, a Minor League team tho wouldnt be too bad. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DelayedPenalty 156 Posted July 8, 2007 I like the idea, but something just seems off in the execution, can't really place what it is though. Also the Yankees are far too traditional to use something like this, but a nice design none the less! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ravenmaster 0 Posted July 8, 2007 I definitely like the idea of this as a minor league Yankee affiliate. Looks perfect for thato 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tajmccall 400 Posted July 8, 2007 Practically its too much of a caricature, but with some work it'd be a decent A league logo.The striping on the hat needs work. If you were going to go with the shadowing under the arm, it needs that kind of treatment all over. You'd need shadowing on the hat, face and what not.I like the idea, and like the eyeblack. I think the bat and hair looks good and bold with good lines.Take what you are doing weight wise in the bat with shadowing on the rest of the logo, and decide how (and i hate this term) 'cartoony' you want to make it and run.Nice job. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrewharrington 4,805 Posted July 8, 2007 it's really just too flat, boring and 1991 cliparty. it just doesn't look like a sports logo, much less one that would be used nowadays. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lets_go_red 0 Posted July 8, 2007 I think the white outline needs to come closer to the arm and the chin...also make the face and cheekbones more defined, structured...to make him look older ie uncle sam, love the idea great for the minors!!!! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManCalledAmp 5 Posted July 8, 2007 Yeah, something in the execution of the face shape with the eye black makes me think a fusion of Uncle Sam and a Native American/Indian (with pale skin, of course). I would probably make the face a little more round, and as red just said work on the face structure to age him and define him a bit.Also, the shading seems a little arbitrary on his left...is he turned like a pitcher glaring in, so we can only see his side? If so, I think the white border needs to be drawn in some, and the bat needs to move somehow so it doesn't seem to come from nowhere. However, if it's not just a side view, I'd like to see the uniform extend more and have him fill out that empty space there.I like where this is going, and I could really see this for WBS, Tampa, or any of the "Yankees" named farm teams. By the way, I'm definately not ripping this concept--your skills are far better than mine, that much I concede right away. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
averyj 0 Posted July 8, 2007 Everything on the body needs more detail. The face, the arms, the beard. The overall structure is good, it just needs more details.Also, it would be a bad omen to have the "Memoriam" armband on your concept. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drevel 0 Posted July 8, 2007 Not bad. It looks like Giambi as Uncle Sam. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
