leggman01 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 ok...my daughter asked me to draw a pink & purple logo for her...at first i couldn't think of anything that really used pink and purple, then i got it...a flamingo - since i've been stuck on drawing birds lately (and you'll see a lot of resemblence to the eagle i posted about a week ago) it was a natural fit - she hasn't seen it yet, but i think she'll like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 It looks to me like there's no eye, everything else looks fantastic though. But because it has no eye it looks like a fruity monster from tremors. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

Alphabet Man Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Nice, probably the only thing that can look good in pink. The design is actually quite nice. Maybe add a uniform (or a logo to a uniform). Nice work. twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamikel Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 It's a good looking logo, but it doesn't quite say "flamingo" just yet. Okay, pink bird with long bendy neck probably won't get mistaken for anything else, but the beak is bothering me. Flamingos have one of the strangest beaks of any bird in the world. Their jaw is actually inverted, so the top part moves when they eat, and it's smaller than the bottom part. It's also has a very distinct hooked shape to it.

I Am A Flaming Douche Bag Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Thats a nice logo even with the colours. WHat sport would this be used for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VC// Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Nothing wrong with the colours.Who determined pink & purple were girlish or gay anyway? Some guy that figured he'd call black and white colours? Genius!....I like the logo, you might want to define the eyes a little, so it doesn't look like it's apart of the outline.

Chief. Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I like it. Maybe mess around with the eye a little, sketch out some ideas for a pupil just to give it a little more detail in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anemic_Royaltea Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Beak isn't very flamingo ish, it looks a lot more like a vulture/condor at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallWonk Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 This is an excellent start, and good proof of concept that this color combo -- pink, purple, and yellow -- can look great together.It would be nice if this bird had a beak that in any way resembled a flamingo's beak.I would extend the neck vertically just a little more. Right now the overall proportions of the neck and head are in line with a duck; a slightly taller logo overall will reinforce the flamingo-ness of the image.Also, I would recommend adding a pink feather, in the style of the bird's head, behind the midpoint of the neck, horizontally, to make the letter F. Just to see if it works. The way you've curved the neck and head already make me see a lower-case letter F, so making it more explicit might really cement the visual identity here. Or not, but I think it's worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leggman01 Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 looks like i've got some work to do...these are all great suggestions, and i'm going to try to incorporate as many as possible tonight - i will definately tweak the beak, as it was the one thing that i was most annoyed with anyway...thanks for the ref picture, jamikelballwonk - i actually tried to make this an "f", but didn't know what to use...my first attempt used a wing (in purple) extended on the right side of the neck, but the proportion just didn't look right...your feather suggestion might be right on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 When I was a senior in high school, the girls in our class banded together and formed a united front to get pink and purple as our class colors. Uggghhhh.Thank God the school superintendent told us it was traditional for seniors to have the school colors -- blue, white and gold -- as graduation colors. Otherwise, I would have had a pink and purple tassle hanging from the rear-view mirror after I graduated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leggman01 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 i'm not sure if i'm there yet...to be honest, i'm not sure that i don't like the first better...i'm gonna sleep on this and take some time away from it, because i've spent 2 hours making just these tweaks...let me knowballwonk - maybe my execution was just off, but the feather looked VERY forced...so i ditched it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
