kewp80 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 So I was looking around the site looking for a new project for my bored self and came across the California Golden Bears. I figured it was about time they scrapped their old bear logo and come up with a more intimidating one for the school's rising athletic program. Went with a new bear head logo. Similar to many other schools' logos, but so is pretty much every other bear logo (it seems like). Sort of experimented on the Cal logo, giving it some highlights, let me know how you like that. Not too sure of it myself, but I thought it might work.Also came up with some new football uniforms, since I rather not like their new ones their actually getting. Based on their former design, but with a little modern flair. I may do some other sports, so if you wanna see any just let me know.This is the part where you look at the stuff below and let me know what you think Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

HarperK Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 this is a great take on what should have been done. A nice upgrade over the last set, which was really identifiable with Cal. The current looks like a disaster. ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbreadmann Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I agree. I think it looks great. I love the wordmark and uniforms. Nice arching! But is the helmet a different shade of blue from the uniforms? The only drawback is the bear. Kind of looks like he is a fatass with a double chin, no offense. I think you should eliminate the lower blue horn-shadow things, and take the top (or even bottom) curves of those, extend them to the sides, and have that be the bottom of the head. If that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Has anyone ever given you feedback on your Ti-Pi logo?Maybe it's just cos' I'm an ol' dirty man, but I see THINGS in there... @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 The helmet is a different shade. I don't have a real good helmet template for Inkscape right now so I took the one off of the helmet project, that's the reason the the different shades of blue. I'll try your ideas on the bear head, thing is though, bears are fat asses Frenchie, if I'm seeing what I think your seeing then I have not noticed that at all. Hope that makes sense Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewp80 Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 I forgot you had all that done. Excellent resource! You should get one of the admins to sticky that, or put all those in templates thread.

GoDawgs08 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 the uniform design is very similar to the ones they wore for the past few seasons. Get rid of the old nike swoop stripes, and go with some classic sleeve stripes. I like the lighter blue tho, just match the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohob Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 The helmet wordmark should have the highlights like the secondary you made. Other than that, I think all the criticisms have been said. Overall, it's gosh darn awesome! NHL 2016 by Bowen Hobbs * BOHOB's MLB Redesign Project * MiLB Re-Brands * NCAA Football Concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hettinger_rl Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think the eyes of the bear are just a bit too close together or too high on the head. Did you base it off of the CS Riverside bear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcan'tseeme Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I love these except for the black helmet. I'm just not feeling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63Bulldogs63 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Being a northern California resident, i think it looks too much like San Jose State. The colors mainly, but is very reminiscent of SJSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D123 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I love these except for the black helmet. I'm just not feeling it.I don't think that's black, I just think its a dark navy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TML13 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 personally i think it would work better with some less block style numbers. something that "flows" alot better with the Cal script. and extend the piping down to the very bottom of the pants(like the new Vikings pants) to match the piping on the jersey. Darken the Blue and gold to match the hemet and you got a winner. its great now but thats just the changes that came to mind for me when looking at it. ~Sign the Petition, Join on Facebook, Follow on Twitter~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cola Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 i'm really feeling the wordmark and the accents on the secondary "Cal" mark- they are a nice touch without overdoing it. the bear looks strange and the uniforms just don't do it for me...i have always thought that they could get away with something a lot more simpler at Cal.
