Colorado Rockies

[Davey]

Wow this is a great concept you did McCall. I really like 3A. IMO that would be a great update for the Rockies. But once again great job on the concept.

[McCall]

Regarding that font, you did a great job. I thought i recognized the name, so i checked it out. nice vision. i would have never thought to put the western points on a pedestrian font like that. the mountains look a lot better. the only thing really bothering me is the black slab that colorado sits on....maybe some sort of banner/ribbon instead? great job. i want to see some unis!

I thought about doing that, but I'm afraid it may make the logo look too much like the Denver Nuggets.

I'm a big fan of 3A.

The B section just doesn't do it for me, though... the lack of shading makes it very 'blah'.

Am I a dog who just obeyed a command?

(Sorry. Bad joke. My last name is Call so I went with the play on words. I failed.)

Presuming this stays outlined in silver, 1A is my tops. With purple, 3A wins it for me.

The perspective skew seems to add a little bit more to this here, in my eyes--I see you did it with the "Colorado" as well. I'm liking it.

(And thanks for reminding me that Brothers is the font I need to find in my pack--couldn't remember the name to save my life! I'll check out this Tapeworm thing, too. Oh--and for that compliment, too...much appreciated.)

Great work McCall. This is a very well designed logo set. They are all great but I think my favorite is 1A. That wordmark you came up with will look great on a uniform. If the design of your uni's are as good as your logo set, you are going to have an awesome design. I can't wait to see what's next.

[McCall]

I may be going a bit overkill on showing the primary logo, but here it is in the various colors (all with the half-shaded mountain) on backgrounds of the team colors. Note, no part of the primary changes color from background to background. That was part of the purpose of the silver outline around the whole thing. The only time it doesn't show up is on silver.

And here it is in single color form, purple and black.

Wordmarks in the next post.

[McCall]

Here is the wordmark, with both Colorado and Rockies, on the team color backgrounds.

And here's variations for on black, because I couldn't decide which I preferred. I actually like the purple outlined in silver then white, but didn't know how well it would actually look on a black jersey, so I did these as other options.

That wordmark is very cool. I really like the double outline style, it stands out on the black a lot better. This will look very nice on a uniform set, can't wait to see it.

I agree, they need more purple in their sets.

[bohob]

Gotta say, although I used to think the white type with purple outline was the winner, the white type with silver outline wins hands down when you see it on the other backgrounds. Wordmarks looks pretty good too, can't wait for uniforms.

[McCall]

Uniforms may have to wait. Our accountant may be taking the company laptop, the one I do most of this on, with her when she goes out of town this week. I may have to hold off until next week. Plus, I'll be going out of town after work tomorrow, and probably wouldn't have taken the computer with me anyway. I have Illustrator on my computer in my office, but it's been acting up lately. Though I'll see what I can do, but it may be next week before they're posted.

The new mountain looks better than the original, but it's too round for my tastes. The general shape of the peaks is too smooth, and I think the gentle arch of the wordmark enhances that illusion. Personally, I'd like to see the mountain(s) be more jagged and "rocky".

Overall it's great work, but that's the one thing that I find distracting about the logo.

[Blitz]

I think you're definately on to something big here... If your alt & sets are half as good as your primary, I'd be settin' up a meeting with Dick & Charlie.... Nice work!!!

[CreamSoda]

No thanks, their current set is much better.

I think you need the double outlines (or at least a thicker outline) around both wordmarks to reduce some of the letterspacing. The spaces between the R and A of Colorado and K and I of Rockies draw my eye. Those letters really need to be spaced tighter together. Maybe even fuse the two in each set to each other to make the wordmark a bit more custom.

Care to elaborate? I fail to see how their boring logo and serif font with an inset path is better than this.

[GeauxColonels]

I love the font used here. And I agree that it's way better than what they're using. However, I think that the mountains need some tweaking. To me, they're too "rounded" - they should be more jagged and, well, rocky.
