CreamSoda Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 where did my thread go?Graveyard.makes sense...its not like I didnt admit to rushing my design and say I was gonna redo it next week or anything.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Just for the record, I have NEVER mandated that every single person who sees my concept must drop what they're doing and make love to it... (that would just be WEIRD!)Haha, seriously, I don't care if people hate me, my concepts, or my stupid screen name. You know what, if Cream Soda can kick my at designing, then good! The world would be that much of a better place to look at! In fact, there is another designer on icethetics who could probably kick my butt. (You guys should go check out his stuff over there, I could swear he used to post here...)Finishing that point off, if you go read the Mississippi State rebranding thread, there are posters bashing Joe Bosak's work. So no matter what you do in this business, you'll never get 100% praise, no matter how much talent you have... Now about this concept...I know that the wordmark is assymetrical. It bothered me for a little while, but I eventually got past it...I also tried a fully arched wordmark, and it looked good. But I think the straight "S's" gave the design a little bit of character...Here are some looks at the jersey thanks to DRutka! (Thanks Dave, you rock!)Lastly, I was thinking of re-doing the concept with GREEN; how many people would like to see that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Awesome work and I love to see the alternate done in green as well JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Ok,I must admit I was in the wrong with how I went about "critiquing" your work. For that, I apologize.I guess my biggest deal is that I see no reason for rebranding NHL teams, especially teams with solid, well designed logos like the Stars. I understand you do put considerable time into your work and no question, they are good, well made designs.Next time, I will offer my opinion, good or bad, in a much more respectable manner. Constructive criticism is a huge benefit in the art world, its the best way to improve upon yourself. I also understand that my comments were brash and harsh to designers across this board for my quick dismissal of his concept. For that again, I apologize.

ColeJ Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 i'd LOVE to see it in green. and changing the S-star to a D-star...green and gold are our colors... black belongs too, if there's room... but black and green with no gold and black and gold with no green, just don't look like our team.

SG30 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 GFB, I like the design, but I think I would love it if it were in green. I actually like the wordmark a lot. I guess my biggest deal is that I see no reason for rebranding NHL teams, especially teams with solid, well designed logos like the Stars. I understand you do put considerable time into your work and no question, they are good, well made designs.The reason is really just for fun, and for practice. You try to challenge yourself by topping what teams already have, and by topping other concepts here and possibly elsewhere. You try to see what people like, and what people don't. I mean are these concepts going to be used in the NHL? Most likely not. (I, for one, would be jumping for joy if they were, but no, sadly, these won't get used.) But its still fun to try to see if you can come up with things. And its fun for people to look at them. Its kind of the whole point of the concepts board.

LEWJ Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I would like to see green as well.Right now I kinda think Ducks when I look at the backs of the black ones.So I think green will fix that. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korbyn Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Lastly, I was thinking of re-doing the concept with GREEN; how many people would like to see that?ME, I WOULD!Exactly what Cole J. said, he is thinking the same way I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkleton Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I'd love to see it in green. The only way I think that alternate could be improved is if it were green...And it was nice to see creamsoda apologizing... I'll give credit where its due for that.

heernumurr Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I still think the primary logo needs to feature a star shape more prominently, but damn those uniforms look good "in action". I think that's the area where your concepts really are on another level. It's all very well making an awesome looking design sheet, but hockey teams don't wear .png files.

VC// Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I'd like to see how it'd look in green as well.Any word on which will be the next rebranded NHL team? (Unless i missed that bit of news already).

GFB Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 bumping on up with the green version....hmm... like or no like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 about a million times better, though i still prefer the current primary logo and font. and i think a D-star makes more sense than an S-star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG30 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I gotta agree with ColeJ. The D-Star would make more sense.But that is a thing of beauty you've got there, GFB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 The green version is miles better, very nice stuff. I think Cole's right about the D-star (but I disagree about the current primary, it's kinda yawn-worthy), and I could do without the half-tone-tan stripes on the green jerseys. But overall, this is quite good.One thing on the secondary that does bug me is the triangle. I see what you're trying to do, making the star shape, but I don't think it translates well. You could leave that out completely and still have a well-done secondary logo, even if people will complain that it's a lot like Calgary's horse (which I also liked).
