maz Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Thing is, royal blue gold and red are pretty overplayed in sports. We may be able to pull it off.Also, about the logo. I saw Optimus was going for a design with the NC Capitol building. Im not saying we should limit what were doing based on what they are, but we already used the same colors last time. Using the same kind of logo, intentional or not, would look really suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG30 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Yes...hmm...what about something that played off the little part on the left hand side of the flag?And Optimus is going for a design based on the legislature building...we could do the Capitol building if we wanted to.

-(dp)- Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 One thing that is really bugging me, is that the other team is throwing out very vague ideas early, really limiting what we can do without looking like we stole their ideas. Right now, we can't use anything relating to the state or city flag, or the capital or legislature building, without it looking like we took their idea, while those are some of the obvious choices anyways.

SG30 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 super rough sketch and it needs lots of work but you get the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-(dp)- Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Well, they have used both buildings in different sketches, so, umm, I don't know what we should do. One thing I noticed, that might work, is to use the top of the legislature building as part of a baseball diamond. With the way the top of the building comes to a point, I think it could be done. Then we would have to figure out what do do to fill the rest of the space. Maybe using the city or state flag design, or an NS or NSS. I don't know, just an idea, but since we don't know if the other team is using the building, I don't know what to do..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG30 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 We can't wait around for Optimus, we have to move forward too. Lets develop our logo and word mark and keep moving. Worrying about them will put us behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-(dp)- Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Here is a quick idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG30 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Needs work, obviously, but I think that is an excellent idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottysprings Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 While I think going with the conservative approach of capitol building and state flag would normally be the right choice, maybe we can separate ourselves from optimus by putting together a more creative identity. Maybe we could do a logo of a suit-clad senator? Just something to set us apart... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiasco! Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I mentioned this to the other team, and figured I'd add it here as well.I feel I need to interject again. Are you guys working in RGB? If so, you better convert to CMYK or Pantone values. Your RGB stuff won't reproduce correctly when printed. LinkedIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Here is a quick idea.What I dont like is that it gives off an impression of an Israeli national baseball team.I like Sgoalie's idea of setting ourselves apart, but Im wary of using an actual senator.I think I have an idea. I'll draw it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Ok, were stalling out here. Lets move along.I say our colors should be a dark royal blue, silver, and maybe vegas gold. It has a prestigous official feel to it.As far as logo, we can forget Optimus. Theyre bouncing all over the place with ideas, so we should to.

-(dp)- Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Here is a quick idea.What I dont like is that it gives off an impression of an Israeli national baseball team.How is that? Also, this is just a rough idea. Something else could be used to fill the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG30 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I threw together a couple of color combos using Pantone values.Vegas Gold: 461Silver: 887Red: 200Royal Blue: 661I can't really decide on which one I like better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Here is a quick idea.What I dont like is that it gives off an impression of an Israeli national baseball team.How is that?The 6 points and colors. The arches of the building give off almost a mid-eastern feel, also.I like these colors, but am not sure of the Pantone or CMYK numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG30 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I really like that combo there...but I don't think that that blue is royal blue enough, thats the only thing.Here's an idea we kind of touched upon but not really...what about a rendition of these two (North Carolina's Senators) batting on either side of an "NSS". Its different, and maybe even a little comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-(dp)- Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I am not sure about using the actual senators. It would be very hard to make them look like Senators, it could be any person wearing a suit. Maybe somebody can prove me wrong, but I don't know if it would work for a sports team. It would definitely be different though. Is my idea worth messing with more? I only did it in blue and white, because I wasn't sure about the colors. I will work on it more, if you guys don't think it is a waste of time. We also need to get going on ideas for the front script while we are figuring out what to do for the sleeve patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be recieving a digital drawing pad tomorrow, making drawing my ideas out and transferring them onto the computer a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-(dp)- Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 So is that a no on my idea having any potential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I dont want to say no completely, because were still unsure on a sleeve logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
