Jimmy! Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 1. The feather in your logo looks more like a pine tree needle than a feather. From a distance it might look like a fishbone.2. The capital "A" in "Anaheim" is huge. I think I understand your intent for making it this way, but it's far too large. If you want to incorporate a feather in your logo, make it a feather, and try stylizing it under the wordmark.3. Get rid of the blue inner shadow on your last "logo". It's killing my eyes and completely unnecessary.4. Try a different accent color other than purple. The blue inside is not a shadow, but it is part of a peacock feather. Anyway I am currently working on an update, which will be up soon.The blue/purple on your "alternate" is an inner shadow and is far too distracting.

ChuckDownfield Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 A little update to see if I'm moving in the right direction for this. I switched up the tail feather for a head feather look. I also changed the color of the green. What do you think? GIANTS_REDSOX_CELTICS_LIGHTNING_BULLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I still dont think the feather looks like a feather, but it looks more peacock-ish, and much cleaner. Nice Update. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenfish13 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 See, I'm really not sure. I guess that Is kinda what a peacock feather looks like, so I guess it doesnt need updating. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamikel Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 A little update to see if I'm moving in the right direction for this. I switched up the tail feather for a head feather look. I also changed the color of the green. What do you think?Eh, I'm still not feeling it. When I think "peacock," the tail comes to mind, not the head. Again, I think a full tail design would be your best bet. Something similar in shape to the NBC logo, with an A where the peacock body currently is.

AHcreative Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I actually tried to fool around with your logo to try and make it look more "feather-like", but it is tough to figure out what has to be done. I tried making the feather curved and not so straight out like your logo, but it wasn't really working out. I actually think what you have here is a pretty good start; the A, in my opinion, isn't necessarily a bad logo because the colors make it so much more convincing that the team mascot is a peacock. For a cap logo based solely on the letter of the city and/or team, this is pretty unique.The uniforms are okay, I'm not really into the whole vest/logo/number package, I'm more of a fan of a nameplate of the city/team name on the chest, but it's your concept, and for a vest/logo/number jersey I think you did pretty well. I do like white paneled hats, I always have, so that's a good move there. Overall I'd say it's pretty decent, could use a little more purple though, just to compliment the green.

AHcreative Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Haha, that kinda puts me in a weird place, I was hoping you could see where it could be used. I do think that there needs to be more purple, I'm just not sure as to where to incorporate it. Maybe, this is kinda iffy, but maybe you could just have the caps be purple or something.

CAB Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 How about this idea. Make the A so it seems to be a peacock facing you head on. You could make feathers behind it like the NBC logo. Now I'm not saying copy exactly what NBC does, but something similar with the feathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm not saying copy exactly what NBC does, but something similar with the feathers.The problem with that, is that the A is already very tall and skinny, and by addaing something to the top, it would only add to the tall and skinny effect.
