sideshowbob Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 What up everybody?!?First concept in a LONG time. I guess i hit some kind of designers block brain damage or something.Anyway, coming back with a bang. I present the Kona Bills!I got the idea over spring break when my family went to Hawaii and visited Kona on the big island. If you ever get a chance to go, it is absolutely amazing! I encourage everyone to go if given the chance. Anyway, Kona is the sport fishing capital of the world. Some of you old school guys may remember watching sports fishing from Kona on the wide world of sports. I went with Bills as short for Bill Fish which is the family of fish that swordfish and sailfish belong to which frequent the waters of Kona. The wordmark is all custom hand drawn, my first custom wordmark actually. I kept the colors light, in Hawaii sit back and relax fashion.Im not sure exactly what sport this identity would fit into, any suggestions? Uniforms may be on the way.As Always C&C guys!Oh, and if you get the chance, I just revamped and made a whole new website. I didn't make it myself but i used synthasite so it is built to my specifications and liking. check it out and let me know what you think!URL in my signature.

mania Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 That yellow is too blindingly bright.Substitute it maybe for a nice orange, and you would have something. Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericjjyy Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 it looks good, but i would take out the blue and yellow stripes going through the words, besides that Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Thats terriffic. And I personally LOVE the bright yellow and hope it doesn't go. I think it'd look great as a baseball set, with the KB logo as the hat logo, and the fish logo on the sleeves. Kinda like if the Marlins and the Rays had "Dirty Hot Sex" in a giant bucket of Dip N' Dots and this is the result. Kudos Extra special Kudos if you get the reference.

sideshowbob Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 ^^^ aw man! brain fart i guess, its on the tip of my tongue i just cant spit it out!Thanks for the comments guys. I think the yellow is going to stay, orange threw off the look to much for my liking. I like the baseball idea, i was thinking either that or basketball but we will see. Keep the comments coming and thanks to those who already have!

sc49erfan15 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I think it's a good start, but could use some work.The fish is good, I'd play with the shading some though.However, the wordmark script and secondary...entirely too...cartoony, I guess is the only way I can describe it. The thickness of the letters varies too much, it's too "soft" and it just doesn't work.Play around with the shading on the fish and I'd say start over from scratch on the wordmark, and you've got a solid concept.

leggman01 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 the yellow is too bright...something like pms124 would work better with the blues you've choseni like the simplicity of the fish and the shape is almost perfect, but the eye needs work...it looks a little slapped oni love the name...unique, creative and unexpected the "s" in bills is bad...almost unreadable...gotta work that out...i applaud the effort made with a custom wordmark, but i agree with the49fan15 - you didn't hit the mark, and the blue and yellow stripes don't make it any betteroverall, this is a very nice start...tweak some colors here, the eye there and find a script that fits the logo a little better and you've got a really nice concept!

sideshowbob Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 thanks for the comments guys. I will tweak the shading and change the yellow to legg's suggestion. I will also play with some new wordmarks and will post later today or tomorrow.

sideshowbob Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 updates:Yellow darkened- i like the new yellow personally, ur thoughts?subtle shading- added some gray shading to the white part of the stomachwordmark- i played around with some different wordmarks and i guess im just partial to this one but i did tweak it a bit and removed the inside striping. KB- removed the inner striped to match the wordmark, not feelin it as much any more though, i may need to change itto come- eye tweaks, maybe a complete wordmark over haul comments and thoughts?once i get the logos ironed out i will make the uniforms, probably baseball.
