jefrsn Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Found this one while surfing. That cat's got some character. Type is the same as all the others though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I've never been a big fan of Phoenix. They can definitely use Illustrator well, but they seem to be way off target when trying to find a viable solution for one of their clients.

rtrich11 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 What is SUNYIT? Maybe they got what they paid for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Looks like it's the SUNY Institute of Technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 That logo is not too bad its a bit cartoony but the colors are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 The design's good, but there's too much blue around the face.. the tongue, eyes, inside the ears... something could be white! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznit1083 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I think it looks straight out of a Japamatronics movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4DOOR Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Speaking of cartoony logos, what exactly is a photo realistic logo and can you give me an example of one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I like it. But you tell me if you agree, the school will use the head alone often. It seems pretty clear that, unlike most wildcats, the head is detachable (the lines forming it seem distinct from the body)Not a complaint, it is a very good logo, just something I noticed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Ugh... You know, the more I look at it, the more and more those round shapes around the nose (supposedly forming the "snout") start to look like testicles. I can't get past that...

Avenger Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Too busy to me... I'm all for a little detail, but to me the logo is dependent on it's crazy amount of lighting and shading, which will be tough to replicate at anything relatively small.It still doesn't stand out from any of the other college logos they've ever done. Same plop, another day.(edit: the profanity filter is awesome... it substituted "plop" for the SH word.... golden, just golden.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 It's a nice logo but I hate how it's pretty much all blue. The text could have at least been a different shade of blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moser316 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Nice logo, but the font looks all too familiar (I think they also used it for Jacksonville State's recent logo redesign) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 there is too much blue in it, blue fur, blue nose, blue tongue, blue wordmark, sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling84 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Yuck.Phoenix sucks.This logo is bad for all the above listed reasons (testicle nose included)But also the jaw is jacked and this is what I hate most.You can exagerate the muscularity of something, without making it human. This stupid thing has weightlifter arms. As if there aren't enough amazing, visible muscle groupings going on in a feline.Adding human traits to logos isn't wrong by any stretch. Especially with the eyes and facial expressions, but it must be done subtley and for a purpose and this is a case where its stupid and I cant stand it.EDIT: Oh yeah, and nice kerning on the text there boys. I'm sure the W IL DCA T S think it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitroseed Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Or this other "beauty" by Phoenix...From looking at all of these I can tell two things:#1. The guys at Phoenix have no idea what kerning is or how to use it. I'd venture to say they never even bothered studying typography at all.#2. All of their wordmarks look the same: condensed, italicized, and TERRIBLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
