Anaheim Ducks Re-branding

[Patchey13]

First off, I want to say that I definatly havent forgotten about the Knights concept, which you can find Here

I was doodling in class today when I remembered the old ducks prototype they released two seasons ago, and drew inspiration from it. Any colour scheme ideas?

I think green is a no brainer for the color scheme. Yellow would make sense as would brown, but I would love to see you integrate indigo or blue in, because of their iridescent feathers.

Nice logo, by the way. It's a bit... pointy? I guess. The head and body shape look good, but the wings are a bit Third-Reich-ish. Also, you could make the triangle a bit larger.

[Linus]

Go with green and purple as the main colours and maybe yellow as an outline?

Green, Orange, Brown?

[CoasterLine]

When I look at that logo, all I can think of is a cross between the two Penguins logos (the current and the last one), but with a Duck's head.

Dark green, yellow and a shade of blue would probably look nice and be unique.

[Patchey13]

I have to agree with the Green, Yellow and Bronze/Brown. I'll have an update tonight

[Patchey13]

Okay, im not quite sold on the colour scheme. I made some changes to the wings, and elongated the head slightly, to keep it from looking too much like the penguins.

Bare in mind that I don't have the best quality colouring equipment

C & C please

I think putting green and yellow along with orange/bronze/brown is kind of...sickening. Two darker colors that go well with each other, like green and black or green and eggplant, paired with a bright color like yellow or orange, would look way better than anything with brown or bronze.

Well, Im off too school now, my goal is to come home with a secondary logo. Once the concept is up on the computer, I will be able to experiment with a few different colour schemes. Keep the comments coming guys, I really appreciate it

[MEANS]

i think it needs to be more iconic, less detail and use a different shape in the background, it's very similar to the Thrashers. It's also very heavy on the right side.

Darken the green and gold to like...Oakland Athletics type shades, and this will look better. This is a nice start though. Keep up the good work!

[Bayne]

I would just figure out a way to use the current colour scheme they have now and use it on the logo. I think their current colours are quite nice.

How would I go about making it less detailed? Not trying to argue with you or anything, but it doesn't seem too detailed to begin with. As for the Thrashers thing, you are actually right, I intended to have a slightly rounded triangle.

[MEANS]

maybe it's not necessarily less detail but, I'd make your lines more stylized and vary in thickness. Give the Duck some attitude (not too much though) A good question to ask yourself about logos is: "Will this look dated in say 10-15 years?" If so back to the drawing board. just some thoughts.

Okay, thanks. It makes a bit more sense now. I played around with the logo, mostly just changing the shape in the back into a more obvious triangle, and simplified the feathers on the wings slightly.

Thanks again for the feedback guys

I think the wing is what needs work: both the angle of the wing and the points at which the wing attach to the body. I'd use this picture as reference. It seems like a pretty good example of a smooth head/neck/wing transition.

You've got a good start, but as you keep working on this, be careful not to end up with something too much like GhettoFarmBoy's old Ducks concept. Good luck!

[Patchey13]

I see what you mean, but since they are different angles, its kind of hard to adapt it. That picture is of a duck in mid- flight. while mine is in more of a taking off / landing position.

I made a few changes on what I think you were suggesting, I broadened the wing base, and also made the head slightly taller, since it was looking a little too narrow.
