leggman01 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 lose the gray thing that is supposed to represent the train and cars...the rest is REALLY nice, and strong enough to stand alone (not to mention the front of the "train" and the rest of it are drawn from different perspectives) - i'd probably also make the smoke a little smaller and use the same gray that you've used in the front of the train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallWonk Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 What Leggman said.Only things I could add would be a recommendation to make the smoke more compact and "smokey" rather than "Nike swooshy". Just takes up too much space to the left of the logo, so it needs to sit over the logo more to help your E logo really pop. (That E logo, by the way, is awesome.) Then I'd look to add some color. A dark "racing" green, for example, or one of several other colors that you often see on 19th century machinery and wrought-iron architectural elements. For colors, do an eyedropper on any of these old vintage train engines:http://www.embsayboltonabbeyrailway.org.uk/photos/sw02.jpghttp://www.railpage.org.au/pix/steam/3801_...sses_4-7-74.jpghttp://www.thearc.tv/Pictures/Transport/steamtrain.jpgI'd still say lots of black with some gray, but I think even a little bit of color, even as just a highlight, would be fantastic. (Were it me, I'd make the E part of the logo steam-engine green, with black outlines that continue on into the black cowcatcher and smokestack.)

Frenchie Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I like it, very simple, vintage feeling...I wouldn't necessarily lose the gray shape, I'd try to "break it up" with horizontal stripes that gives it a feeling of movement.Great Concept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I agree with Leggman about getting rid of the grey "cars", but after that's gone, try making the logo beneath the smoke more squatty and leave the smoke alone. It would be too tall otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkleton Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Smoke needs to be more smoke-esqe, its too solid to be smoke at the momentLOVE the 'E' but I agree with the others....bit of steam engine green and lose the trail, then....perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Does Art Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Like someone said before you need to make the front have the same perspective as the 'zooming' part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
