chickenfish13 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 OK, before I start I know this is like my third concept thread, but I haven't been getting any c and c, and I will let you guys know I'm still working on the CHL, and the Bradenton Pirates. But, when I'm bored, my mind wanders, I find a team to do a concept for, and from there I can't really stop. So, here is my concept for the Montreal Junior, of the QMJHL. I don't know much about them, but there current identity is pretty boring. Not bad, but boring. So I wanted to try and bring some, I don't know, flavour to it. I used a new color scheme, 2 shades of red, and a gold. There are 2 options for the primary, as the 3 fleur-de-lis logo looks kinda odd, but I like it because it's different. The supporting marks are nothing special, just simple, and hopefully recognizable. So, let me here it, good or bad-even ugly. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 the 3 fleur de lis logo looks like a crown, in an odd way i like it. i'd like to see jerseys for it. good job.

chickenfish13 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks, it is kinda odd, in an appealing way I guess. I will be doing jerseys, just want to know where I'll be with the logos. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I like it. For the record the current Montréal Junior identity is based off of that of the old Montréal Maroons. Which actually doesn't make a lot of sense. The Montréal Junior team, like the Montréal Canadiens, is presented as a team representing French Canada. The old Maroons, on the other hand, represented Montréal's English population. So a less Maroon-like/more French Canadian-centric identity works for this team, I think.

With that logic a big white M on a maroon jersey would be perfect.

chickenfish13 Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Well, actually, that pretty much is the current logo, it's just an M with a puck beside it. I'm not sure which is on the jerseys though, I couldn't find any pics. Thanks for the info on the history Icecap, and I'm glad you like the idea. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 OK, I'm still undecided, but here is my start on the jerseys, as well as another supporting mark. I tried to stay close to what they have with the jerseys, as they aren't that bad. Let me hear it.Oh, and thanks to Eray for the color scheme, I got it from an Icehl submission of his, sorry I didn't give him credit sooner. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckDownfield Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 It looks good, but you are missing the bottom part of the fleur de lis. Look at these for refrence. GIANTS_REDSOX_CELTICS_LIGHTNING_BULLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philroy Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 As Chuck said, the fleur-de-lis is incomplete; but there are a couple of ways you might be able to make it fit your concept. You might be able to create a stylized "M" in your fleur-de-lis by adding the missing lower point. In the logo with the wordmark, you may be able to use the "T" from Montreal in place of the lower point of the fleur-de-lis, by re-positioning the fleur-de-lis over the current text, or by re-aligning the text to get the "T" more centered. It will ikely throw off the centering either way though, so that probably isn't an ideal solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The newest logo you've added, the fleur de lis on the shield, makes it appear as though you've added the missing part of the fleur. It looks about as natural as you could hope too, good unintentional work. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 I actually kinda left out the bottom on purpose, wanted to do something a bit abstract, but I can revisit it I guess. I actually referenced a couple pics that didn't have the bottom part.Philroy, good idea with the T and the text, but it would throw it off. I might try making the bottom into an M, that would be a nice touch.Thanks for the c and c guys, I'll update it tomorrow, and keep the feedback coming. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
