Phil Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Wow, Aurora's a tough name to work with, you've done a good job there, Mockba. A few suggestions, if I may:The black trees don't show up against the dark blue. Either find a way to highlight them, or drop them altogether.Choose one of the black or the blue. Too close to tell which is which from far away anyway, so you might as well pick one.Put the Minnesota text somewhere else in the wordmark. As neat a spot as it is in currently, it just doesn't show up well, especially with colour you've chosen for it. It also contributes to an overly busy feel to the logo. Simplicity is beautiful. Try moving the Minnesota text out on it's own.I must say, however, that I love the way you've depicted the northern lights. Fantastic. Might the logo benefit from a shade of green or red?

Snowcap30 Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 wow those are great. i love the logo and the blue jersey the most. keep up the great work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted February 15, 2003 Author Share Posted February 15, 2003 Some good thoughts. I still like the blue/black colour scheme, though; it's supposed to be a silhouette against the night sky, and those colours fit too well for it.I made some adjustments, though, adding an outline to the trees and moving the "Minnesota."

-kj Posted February 15, 2003 Author Share Posted February 15, 2003 Yeah. The problem is it doesn't seem to go well on top because of the letters being rounded. Hm.I tried putting it back inside, but this time towards the top, and changing some of the colours around. I think it looks better this time. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

STL FANATIC Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 That's awesome Mockba! Looks very very good. I'll make a suggestion on the jerseys. Arch the names so they fit the same arch that the sleeve stripes follow. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted February 19, 2003 Author Share Posted February 19, 2003 Ever have a design you just couldn't stop tweaking?I've now played with the Aurora design, and have four different tweaks of it. I added some background stars (which kindof look like falling snow, though they're meant to be stars) and some snow detailing on the trees. So, I have these versions of the logo now:with snow and stars: Main Logo Word Mark "A" Logo with snow: Main Logo Word Mark "A" Logo with stars: Main Logo Word Mark "A" Logo plain: Main Logo Word Mark "A" Logo Compliments?

JQK Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 The plain is still the best. Too much detail can ruin a logo.Keep with the original, it's the best. Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 The best is plain, but with stars is nice too. I'm not a fan of having snow in there. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowcap30 Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 theres really now difference from the plain and the snow beside little marks on the trees. i like either one. great work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 The plain is busy enough. You've got lots of good ideas, don't waste them all on one logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phocused Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Great work man! The stars are nice but they make the logo too complex, too busy. The snow version is excellent.Cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
