mcrosby Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Pretty self explanatory, the Seattle Pilots, just updating a look that i think should've stayed around.I changed the colors, i think it was necessary, the bright red/yellow/blue colors they once had don't translate well into todays sports imagery.I'm in the process of adding jerseys. I may end up using the Mariners wordmark for Seattle, we'll see.C&C please https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I think it looks great. I can't wait to see the jerseys. If I were to make a change, I think I would shorten the wings just a little bit. But they look just fine how they are. Excellent job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHcreative Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I has wings... and a steering wheel?I hope you're being sarcastic because the original did too... But if your aren't it's to represent the pilots of sea and air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie_delini Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 this is bugging me - i can tell the wings you used were from my Oregon Aviators concept from a couple years ago - you've changed the highlights a little bit, but yeah those are pretty much mine. They work well here, just wished you would have asked me if you could use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 sorry about thati've got a file with portions of stuff i've seen over the years, all i had was one wing, i guess i should have attempted to find out who's it was before i used it, or at least clarified that the wing wasnt mine. I usually just use them as reference, but didnt this time. again, sorry, and i hope i can be forgiven https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 just make your own logos, not piecing one together from others, and you'll be fine. Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie_delini Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 s'all good. but JQK is right, you shouldn't piece logos together. Getting inspiration from a logo is one thing - make it your own. Not only will you avoid running into copyright issues (if this were a professional situation, there could be some trouble) but your work will be much better.I'll give you an example. I recently did a logo for a friend of mine who restores old motorcycles with his family. He asked me to make a "company logo" for him. My concept had a motorcycle wheel with wings coming off of it. I started drawing wings and got frustrated. I used the new Brookly Aces logo as an example of a good pair of fairly anatomically-correct wings.Aces: Mine: I'll admit they're similar, but I really tried to make them my own, especially since I completely redrew them. Ultimately since it's here on the CCSLC, and what you used of mine isn't professional work or near and dear to my heart, it's no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 well here's a quick redoi did this using an old airline's pilot's wings, without even glancing at gordie's, and somehow it still looks very similar.i should have jerseys real soon https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w00tness Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Mine: That's a gorgeous logo, Gordie. Amazing work!well here's a quick redoi did this using an old airline's pilot's wings, without even glancing at gordie's, and somehow it still looks very similar.i should have jerseys real soonVery, very nice. You re-did the wings, and they looks awesome. I'm not sure I'm a big fan of the red, but other than that, the logos look very solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's odd to me is that the logo with the wings has a light blue outline, and the "wheel" logo has a sand-colored outline. So, I'm thinking you should give both the sand-colored outline and replace the red with the light blue. Then again, the problem you'll have is too much sandy-ness in the wings-logo. Play around with it, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
