Washington Monuments

Recommended Posts

Ok I wanted to make a fantasy team last monday so I started on this. The team is called the washington monuments. I have been working on this for 4 days and i'am finally happy with everything (but the secondary) I have no ideas for that

The font is agency fb and i am really happy with it.

The primary logo looks like the Washington Monument, if anything else it looks like a pencil but the first thing I see is the Washington Monument. It doesn't really look like Korbyn sees, I think that might just be the teenage boy in him showing.

I don't really have any ideas for improving the secondary. If you keep it how it is, I would just remove the blue spot between the D and the C.

OK...I will back him up on saying that the primary does have a slightly phallic appearance. However, this is pretty much an unavoidable problem if you use that Obelisk on the Mall for the logo. Maybe another landmark would be better in that regard (yes, you lose the pun, but it still makes sense from an abstract perspective.)

I think the Secondary logo could afford to lose the "D.C." and have the W centered.

What sport is this logo for?

Lay off the porn, dude. As for the concept, it looks like it took about 5 minutes to make instead of 4 days. Sorry to be so harsh, but it seems really uninspired. I just think that no team uses the washington monument as a logo cuz, well, it's boring. So maybe you aren't at fault for making such a boring logo...it's hard to make the Washington monument exciting.

And guys, it was funny how you sort of ignored Korbyn's lackluster attempt at a sexual joke/comment. What does this look like to you guys? Um...a pencil? Lol.

Trust me it DID take 4-days, you should have seen the first version :D

Is inkscape vector? This looks pretty clean to me, like illustrator. I hope you have some ideas on how to improve it because I'm at a loss. It's just difficult to make a very bland monument flashy.

The actual monument is more of a sand-cream for the bottom 60%, then off-white for the rest. Try that, and a red dot at the top to resemble the flashing light up top.

This brings back memories of back in late '04. The Post had a Washington Monuments concept for the then-Washington Expos with sand-cream pants, a off-white jersey, and a pyramid shaped hat with a flashing red button on top of the crown.

I wish I cut that out. I thought it was the greatest thing ever.

My suggestions:

1. On the primary, have the Monument centered and pointing straight up. I understand what you're going for, but I think it makes the logo look lopsided.

2. On the secondary, try centering the W and putting the D and C on either side of it. I think it will look more balanced that way.

Yes Inkscape takes a lot of practice but it is well worth it.

And I do agree with leopard here.
