thebigeh Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Coincidence!I was just about to post a logo for a Detroit MLS team called Detroit Motor City FC when I see MADVILLIAN posted one himself (not bad, btw. But I'd choose a different color sceme as that doesn't look Detroit).Anyways, I had been kicking around this idea for a year now and just made it up a month ago. I drew it up by hand because I have no Illustrator, or the like, to work with. I posted it over on the MLS in Detroit threat at BigSoccer. The response I got was very positive. And now, I have posted it here at CCSLC for C&C.Here's my logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boshalladay Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Love the color scheme, love the letters, love the simplicity, and I love how it looks like a car logo... 2 things I'm worried about:Wish there was a wheel somewhere or something carish.

BBTV Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I think you're fine right now, but keep the below logo in mind as you enhance your logo. Don't want to get too close.

The wings on the D and C were from Chrysler's logo and the blue background was a nod to both Ford and GM. So adding anything more wasn't necessary.

Don't want to get too close.I knew I was borrowing from DeLorean's old logo when I created mine. But don't worry, there's no chance of going that far.

It's so good in fact that I almost would like to see Detroit get a team to wear this(not ahead of Miami of course ) Flight 19 ::: Fort Lauderdale Soccer Supporters ::: DEFEND THE FORT!

averyj Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Flux capacitor!I agree.For the concept, there should be a speedometer element with the needle pointing to 88 MPH. 1.21 Gigawatts?! You know, I rarely visit ccslsc anymore. I really should fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebigeh Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 Because I wasn't satisfied with the type I was using, I re-did my logo again with Inkscape program. I took out the type that I had photocopied and traced onto my original design, scanned it, then traced the letters with Inkscape. After I had arranged and rotated the shapes around, I managed to get about what I had originaly intended with my design. I also fixed the shine on the DMC logomark by replacing the orange with grey.I think this is a much better design, IMO.Primary:On an orange background:And on a navy blue background: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigeh Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 I also made some soccer kit designs to go along with the logos.Main Home Kit:Change Road Kit:And a special Third Kit:You'll all notice that on the collars of the backs of the shirts is the word "DRIVE". I put that there as the motto/slogan for DMCFC.Whaddya think? C&C please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
