LogoFan Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Here's an updated concept for the Jets that I've been working on for a while. It combines some elements of a previous concept of mine with the current logo. My goals were: update without being extreme, lighten the green without going "kelly", stay within the confines of the current palette (green & white) and replace the "Jets" script with a drawing in the actual logo. Didn't have time for unis.Please pass along the C&C... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I really like it. The logos are nice, clean, and simple. Good work. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I like it, but some of the details in the jet may be a bit small. Consider viewing it smaller, or in the distance. Also, thank you for creating a Crosby Designs logo for me. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Aren't the Jets named more for passenger jets, as opposed to fighter jets?

rentz Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Great start. I agree about lessening the detail, especially around the cockpit area.I like the return to kelly green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogoFan Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Aren't the Jets named more for passenger jets, as opposed to fighter jets?That is correct. However, after 9-11, I just think a commercial jet image coupled with "NY" is just imagery I didn't feel comfortable going near. On the other hand, a fighter jet is not only meaner and sleeker, but (I feel) represents might and as well as protection.Also, thank you for creating a Crosby Designs logo for me. Uhhhh....NO. Cool last name, though. Thanks for the kind words, though...I appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogoFan Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 This is actually really nice.Did you consider using the jet as a stand-alone logo?I used a much earlier version of the jet logo on a concept several years ago (2003 to be exact) as the stand-alone, but after looking at it now, I didn't feel that one worked well. Originally the new alt as the helmet logo on a green helmet, but then decided to keep it white with more of just an "updated" feel vs something brand new. I'll post both versions shortly.

tBBP Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Aren't the Jets named more for passenger jets, as opposed to fighter jets?That is correct.

On the other hand, a fighter jet is not only meaner and sleeker, but (I feel) represents might and as well as protection.It's been eight years. And the overwhelming sentiment I got from people in, around, and from the NYC area is that they've pretty much all moved on past that. And considering the ridiculous amount of air traffic that goes in and out of JFK airport in Jamaica, Queens, I wouldn't think very many NY'ers would quiver at the sight of seeing passenger jets flying overhead in somewhat close proximity to buildings and whatnot. (I say that even though the Jets, as the story goes, took their name due to their then-home being so close to the other major NYC airport...LaGuardia.)So no...I wouldn't really think it'd rub very many people the wrong way if you chose to pursue the avenue of some type of stylized passenger jet and incorporating that into a new logo.As it stands now, though, that's not a bad-looking start at all. I will say this, though: I get more of a rocket-ship-type vibe from that than that of a fighter jet. When can we look forward to some uniforms there, slick? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasatch Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I like it! No complaints here. It would awesome to see that Jet on a helmet facing towards the facemask. Have you slapped that baby on a template yet??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9erssteve Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I like the marks both the primary and secondary, but there is something about the logotype that's throwing my eye off. Did you italicise the type yourself? Something just feels off about it. I think it's that the J thins down really quickly for the turn at the bowl and jars up against the sharp corner of the E, like I said I cant quite put my finger on what it is but something about it makes me feel uneasy.The Jet though looks great, might wanna thicken the outline a touch as I'm not sure how well it would hold up reduced down much further (and on say sports cards or the net it would be much smaller than shown here) but the shape and level of simplification are great.9erssteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May take a while on the unis...hadn't gotten that far, but it won't be anything radically different. My whole approach was a laid-back update. Here are the 2 helmet designs I was working on: thegreen was first, then the white for greater continuity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I love the idea! I think you should do an alteration however to something more along the lines of the original NYJ logo that had part of the wings flying horizontally across the top of the NY to give it a bit more of a smoother look on helmets.

JayJaxon Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 very nice design. The angle does suggest rocket ship, but it is a great looking jet. The overall look is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
