cjbraun Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Basically what I did in this design is I took the current logo for the astros,took the star above the "Astros" and switched with the A . Sorry confusing. I then switched some of the colours. C&C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbreadmann Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Very nice idea. I like how you manipulated the existing star. Very cool.However, it doesn't look right with the script on the jersey(too big and not proportional), and on the cap it reminds me of the houston oilers.(intentional, b/c it's Houston?) Cool though. Honestly, I don't see a color change, but I definitely like the concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_red Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The A reminda me of the Albuquerque Isotopes logo...but it doesnt fit currents are miles better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gueman Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Just a general tip about how you are posting your concepts. I don't know what you are using to design them, but I would bet it has a crop tool. Please use it. You have WAY to much white space around your concept. Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. P. J. O'Rourke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musikology Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Another little tip, refrain from the self recognition "It's pretty sweet!". Leave that to us. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 This really doesn't do anything for me. Looks like you just replaced the A with the Shatner-era Star Trek comm badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think it's a decent idea. However, it needs to flesh out into it's own full-redesign concept. Now, it just looks pressed together, much like the field during last night's football game, lol.Good idea, but you gotta run with it to make it work.

McCall Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 That is quite possibly the sloppiest execution of an idea I have ever seen on this board. Congratulations!

ltravisjr Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The A is a really innovative idea - I hate to see it wasted shoehorning it into an existing identity in a way that doesn't fit. The A-star is straight, pointy, and vertical. The Astros script is slanted and curvey. The two just don't go well together. I don't know, perhaps it could be a new secondary or tertiary logo. Maybe you could design a jersey with just the A-star on the front without it being too simple. As a cap logo its not bad, although cap monograms should be of the city and not the nickname. Keep working, it doesn't go with the existing concept, but could be the base of something new and impressive.LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elliott Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Another little tip, refrain from the self recognition "It's pretty sweet!". Leave that to us. ;-)Exactly. All of this guys "concepts" have him C+C'ing it in the title, which is sort of annoying, especially since it is most definetely not sweet. I am curious to know if you actually think getting an image from sportslogos.net, barely changing it, and calling it "sweet" is a successful concept. I really think this forum is for more creative designs than that. Dribbble ... Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 That is quite possibly the sloppiest execution of an idea I have ever seen on this board. Congratulations! I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.You really aren't helping him by saying this. And we've all seen Billy Madison before, so if you're going to still the quotes, please give credit where credit is due.Anyway, I'm just not a huge fan of this concept. Apart from their font, I instantly thought "Phillies" when I first saw this one. Also, the sleeve patch looks really out of place. The logo is filled with the tan colour, yet no tan appears on the uniform. I would try to get rid of the sleeve patch and incorporate some tan into the wordmark and/or number font on the uniform. I do like the idea of the logo, because as gingerbreadmann said, it reminds me of the Houston Oilers. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc?

One time I write something not too constructive, when in fact it did kind of fit, and you jump on my case. His feelings weren't hurt, so why don't you just ignore my comments if you don't like them. They weren't even directed at you.Now, can the topic just get back on track? https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
