iDonovan Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Well I have been busy doing boring stuff...but am back and have a pile of designs to work on, and hockey season is coming, here is the first. For a mens league they are going to use the old BLue jackets jerseys.What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersHockey1967 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 The position of the scorpion combined with the background reminds me of the Batman logo.Maybe lose the shadows (2nd image) and gradient in the background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beansdooma Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 It's well drawn, but I think there's a few too many fine details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Well-drawn...but too many shadows and gradients.Also, there's nothing about this that screams "hockey" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9erssteve Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Okay first off the illustration is fantastic, but as others have said perhaps there is a little too much fine detail. For example, it's hard to tell if there is an incredibly thin white line round the Scorpion's legs or whether it's a trapping issue where a non rich black is meeting another colour. If it's a white line thickne it up and make it look deliberate. I'd get rid of all the gradients as well, keep the shapes but fill them with solid colours as gradients are pretty much a no-no in sports graphics due to difficulty in reproducing them when logos are embroidered.I'd also get rid of the "bat wings", I'd look to add something to the type, pep it up a bit, thicken the white line and offset it slightly or add some highlights or shadows to the letters, make them more unique to your design. Even if you dont change the type drastically I'd still lose the "bat wings" as the really add nothing to the design and are another gradient that would be difficult to reproduce. Cant say whether there being no hockey imagery within the logo is a bad thing or not. I'm not a Hockey fan and the only hockey logos I can think of off the top of my head are the Sharks and the Avalanche, altho both of them do have hockey items in them I couldn't say for sure whether thats the norm or not.All in all though it's a great piece of work and I like it. look forward to the next stage of the process.9erssteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I do really really like the Scorpion itself...very nicely rendered. It looks like it's coming to get you!I don't have a problem that it doesn't scream "hockey". There are lots of NHL logos that don't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good concept, just simplify it a tad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
