shiznit1083 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Gentlemen, here is my logo concept for the Buffalo Bills. A few notes:- The bolt on the back is a reflection of the city flag of Buffalo. I wanted to incorporate some element of it and I thought the bolt would work best.- I tried emphasizing red in the wordmark and removed the light blue and silver from the scheme all together.- I tried for a simpler look and word mark to mimic the style many of the new logo and word marks.Without further ado:EDIT No. 3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riot! Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Great job with this! The only thing I would change is the fromt of the bill. The front legs look a little skinny and out of place. And his chest is a little to big. Other than that this is great! Help Change My User Name to Riot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aci Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 There's definitely something wrong with the placement of the front legs. The back half looks good, though lol Hamilton Eagles- 2012 and 2013 Continental Hockey League Champions! 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015 CHL East Division Champions!

SenatorJake Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Wow... that is certainly one of the best Bills logo so far.Only one minor gripe. I find he kinda has a goofy look on his face. Anybody else see it?Anyways, he should maybe look angrier.Tip o' the hat on a pretty awesome logo, in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarred Revolver Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Wow, awesome! One thing, shouldn't it be facing the other way? Good job so far though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I think it needs to look meaner... as a Bills fan, the last thing anyone wants to see as a replacement is a logo that is "Cute". I think it might just be the eyes/eyebrows, and as mentioned earlier the front legs... I think the chest is fine though - Good and broad!!!

raysox Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 very good jobb ut it looks a bit fat, and the front legs are weirdfix that and it will be great @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJBerthiaume Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Wow this looks phenominal. Just do the things the others have said and it will be nearly perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnmrwrw Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 This is a good start. A couple of thoughts:He definitely needs to look meaner. Right now, he looks a bit too cartoony. Maybe consider lowering the head (and thus the horns) slightly, angry-fying the eyebrows, and giving the mouth a slight down curve at the end so he's not appearing to smile.As far as the legs go, the back two and the front right (Buffalo's right) legs all seem to be spot on. But right now, the front left leg is layered behind the chest, so he seems to have two legs on his right side. We should see his left leg in front of his chest, perhaps slightly turned toward us so that the hoof is "pointing" at the viewer. I think this would make it look like he is planting his foot as he's running.All in all, it's a very good start.

Island_Style Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Great work. You really have to fix the face. He looks like he belongs on a milk carton or hamburger box, not a football team logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an era where every logo looks like he's 'roiding, it's refreshing to see one that is a bit more whimsical. Looking back through history there is plenty of precidence for non-intimidating logos. That's proabbaly my favorite part of the design. Good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmike Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I like this and think it is a great start, I really like the wordmark, and the logo, but I agree with the others he needs a meaner expresion on his face, that would almost make him perfect.

quantum Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 The colors and the fact it is a horned animal makes this a little too close to the Texans for my liking. The logos themselves are well rendered, but is too cutesy. It would be a logo used on childrens apparel. Not a fan of including a lightning bolt, but at least it is different than most concepts. The font looks good. The secondary is a miss.Just one man's opinion, though. "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity".

shiznit1083 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Thank you guys for the comments. It's nice having an extra set(s) of eyes. I'm taking all this stuff into consideration for the next draft. I definitely see the flaws everyone is talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer15 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I'm not going to re-type the minor things that everyone says could use a little touching up.I do think including the bolt because of it being on the city flag is brilliant!I'm worried that the colors scream Texans, and i've always been a fan on moving away from the royal blue, maybe using a lighter shade of red?I can't wait to see what the touch-ups look like.

chestnutz Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 It looks like a goofy donkey with a buffalo's head and body (it's stance, that is). Make it all in one motion, it looks way too clunky now. Very well rendered though. The wordmark is very good, and I actually really like the secondary. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznit1083 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Alright a few updates:- Changed the front legs completely.- Pissed him off a bit.- Changed from the darker blue to royal.- Tightened the kerning on the text.- Changed the direction.

Jer15 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 You pissed him off good! lol.Seriously though, this looks alot meaner, and although i've said before that I'm really a fan of using royal blue, it actually looks pretty good. Alot less like Houston, that's for sure.Adding the red to his eye helped out alot too.Good work, though I would like to see if you could work in the mouth again, I really liked that element.
