Chief. Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 In drawing this past semester, I sketched out a horse in a stylistic fashion for my final project (it's a rather large pencil/charcoal drawing now) that turned out like this:I decided to take it from my sketchbook into Illustrator and mess around with it, since I figured it would make a decent logo. The end result is currently this:I'm not sure it's finished. In fact, I know it could use a few tweaks. Help is greatly appreciated as a lot of work has gone into this, from my final art project to the vectorized version. I'd like to get the best I can out of it. Thanks to anyone who helps.

andrewharrington Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 1. The drawing looks like it's in profile, but the vector looks like it's trying to be a 3/4 rendering. It looks better in profile, so lose the second eye and other side of the snout. 2. A horse has a very defined cheek and chin (see Denver Broncos logo) and this drawing simply looks incomplete and amateurish without that facial definition. 3. The outer part of the mane is too complex for a logo. You want to put as little in there as you can that will still tell a viewer that it's a mane, like the Broncos logo.

rtrich11 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I concur with Mr. Harrington. But don't forget the ear! Swept back would be appropriate. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koizim Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Looks kinda like a bird to me. Engine, Engine, Number Nine, on the New York transit line, If my train goes off the track, pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! Back on the scene, crispy and clean, You can try, but then why, 'cause you can't intervene. We be the outcast, down for the settle. Won't play the rock, won't play the pebble.

vicfurth Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Looks kinda like a bird to me.That's the vibe I got as well. Either that, or something outta a 90's video game. Maybe Sonic the Hedgehog with a long nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 make it more like your drawing, and fix that mine like previously mentioned, and you have a nice looking logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
