Avenger Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 I really, REALLY like the overall direction of this, but I have to agree with a few folks that the logo is a touch busy. Maybe some slight simplifications would make this better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_cynic Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 IM talking about the black on the face mask.And I think it shouldn't just stop there. Â If you used some black in the logo itself as some shadow aspect then it should really look a lot better.

Phil Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 The black on the facemask is outlining... if you look closely, there's some purple in between the thick outlining. The entire helmet is thickly outlined in black.I like the concept, but the execution is a little overdone. That shading gets to be a little too busy on the Viking primary. Not huge on the axe secondary, others seem to like it, but I find that with the horn helmet, the wordmark, and the primary head logo, the identity is full enough. However nice job, some high quality production work. Way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 i like this concept as-is. i would dump th esecondary v-ax logo though. as syphi said the helmet, wordmark and logo are enough. i just dont see were the ax logo would go on the field or on a uni if the viking head stays on the sleaves. i relly like the wordmark. much better then the packers wany-be stayle and the 70's style. neither one seems to have a "viking" flavor. cant wait to see the unis.

STL FANATIC Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 The Vikings have gone back to their 60's-70's wordmark, so i see no need to change that. The new Viking head is very, very well done. Very nice. The secondary logo is good as well, but i wouldn't want to see it on the uniform. The helmet... eh... no. Leave the helmet as-isJQK is right, there new old wordmark is awesome, though yours is nice. They just need to get their endzones updated.I think the shadowing is overdone in the horn and on the head, but for the most part this is nice.

LogoFan Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 Thanks for the kind words, everyone!Judging by the responses, it appears pretty unanimous that the shading was too much for folks. I've toned it down...let me know what ya think..too much, too little or just right.I really hope the black being referenced was the over-emphasized helmet outline. There is no black used anywhere in any of the logos, or facemask color. I adjusted the helmet for better clarity.I appreciate all the constructive criticism. And to all those new to designing logos...it's another example of the need for patience. My original shield idea (I thought at the time) looked acceptable...but comparing the one from a year ago to the new one today I think it looked like total...well, you know....

Phil Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Much better! Outstanding work. The one little nitpicky suggestion I have is that the eyebrow is not outlined in purple like the gold hair is pretty much everywhere else. Otherwise great work!(...and good job on de-emphasizing the helmet outline. Now it's very nice and clear.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I think the hair still needs some shadowing though but just different from the "Before" sketch.

JQK Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Still don't like the helmet, but the Viking head is a very nice update. Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 It looks improved, but it's more the shading on the face that gets me.And what does anyone mean that the new/old wordmark doesn't have a Vikings feel?
