jpegregor Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 hi there,this is my design for the dutch lacrosse federation. its based on the design of a tulip, cause the netherlands are famous for tulips (and of course other "flowers"). i used the colors red, white and blue - these are the colors of their national flag and orange is the national color.so, what do you think of this design?enjoy the game...jpegregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling84 Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 #1 - I think it's really really good. You got the "racket" thing they use there and the tulip. Simple, relevant. Beauty.#2 - I dont care for the font. I think most leagues would rather let the font be simpler.#3 - there is a little hiccup on the blue petal, where it meets the racket, that could be touched up.Otherwise...my compliments.Is this a contest or a client of yours or a fantasy?PS - whats with the never got used Caps avatar???

paynomind Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I hate to pile on, but I just wanted to say, lovely simplicity... i htink the concept kicks major tail. The font doesn't bother me as much as the font size. Maybe a change of font will allow it to be more legible.Nicely done. NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!

jpegregor Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 sterling84, njtank, jpslapshot22 and paynomind, thank you very much for your tips and compliments.this logo is for real.i´m playing for the maastricht lacrosse club. we´ve been the first dutch lacrosse club and are kind of the ambassadors of dutch lacrosse. we helped founding all other dutch lacrosse teams and now it´s time to build up a federation. also, we have to get the national team together for the european championships. that´s why i builded this logo.if seen the hicup too and i will clean it up for the final version. this is just a raw design. but thanks for your sharp eyes.i like the font i used, because it seems to me a nice contrats to the simple logo. with the font it´s kind of a letter head logo. for jerseys i´ll use only the tulip. but if you hav any ideas which font i should try, please post it.by the way: on the request board i have a post concerning the avengers logo. if you have any ideas, p l e a s e h e l p m e !thanks again!to sterling84: yeah, all my questions concerning the "alternate" caps logo were answered - thanks!i love your designs, especially the cougars logo for the youth team, the bucks concept and... the moooooooooooose!enjoy the game...jpegregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I love it! Simple, yet symbolic. You could show me 1000 more designs and never get one better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I love the concept, though the middle's a little too void for my tastes. What about adding some netting, also in orange?

Brian in Boston Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Terrific logo! I love the "marriage" of the lacrosse stick basket with a universally recognized symbol of the Netherlands. I actually like the wordmark font. Outstanding work. I can't even begin to conceive of a better or more fitting logo for lacrosse's governing body in the Netherlands.Brian in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 What about adding some netting, also in orange? I'd agree, but it would have to be done tastefully... if I had the time to show you, I would, but I'll try to use words to explain... I think the netting should be apparent in the very centre of the white space, however each individual strand should narrow to nothing (a bit of a non-gradient fade) before the mesh reaches the surrounding stick.Tough to explain...I really think this concept is top notch... well done! Hope everything goes well for the federation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling84 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Yeah, I think netting precisely as SyPhi suggested would be worth the try. Just to see it.But you'll be the judge and it's awesome without it, so whichever.I didn't mean to make it seem like I dont like that font. I do, it's just a little complex. I think most leagues go for quick hitting recognizeability. But its not as though its bad.If you go with it, (your prerogative and it looks sweet anyway) then maybe look at the line spacing. The top and bottom seem a hair too far apart.But as everyone has repeatedly said. Its swiggity sweet.Thanks for my Moose-y props. 'Preciate it.

Hope everything goes well for the federation! I can picture what you mean, but it'll be tough to pull off without complicating his design. I think that adding that kind of detail, however subtle, is going to take away from the other elements.The simplicity of the whole thing is what makes it so great, and the white space is part of that effect. Also, each element in the design is symbolic of something, and clearly represents what it symbolizes. The addition of netting won't contribute any additional meaning, only more detail.

jpegregor Posted February 25, 2004 Author Share Posted February 25, 2004 eqtmr, kcscout76, winters in buffalo, sterling84, syphi, brian in boston, mockba, cuss 16 - thank you all for the tips and compliments! in the next days i´ll post the logo with some netting in the lacrosse head. i think it will destroy the clean look, but it´s worth a try.by the way...on the request board i have a post concerning a logo for a new lacrosse team. "avengers" was the first idea, but we´re thinking about an alternative. "stags" or "bucks" are top of the list at the moment.so if you have a nice and unused logo, p l e a s e h e l p m e !thanks for your time!enjoy the game...jpegregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
