MikePho3niX Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 First off i just wanted to know if anyone has heard of the GDFLThe owner of the Alabama Predators asked me to make a logo. Wondered what you all think? Is this a farce or the real deal. Anyhow here is the logo. C & C welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Man, all those logos are awful.Yours however, is pretty sweet. He looks a bit chubby to me, but I'm not sure what's throwing it off for me. Good job though, the only thing I'd say is maybe a different color scheme, as although black, orange, and white is a tiger, but I think it be more unique if you used something different, seeing as it's the Predators, not TigersAll in all though, great job! dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Good start, i'd improve it by eliminating the unneccessary outlines around the crest, like the lower chin and cheeks, while keeping the top right one, and the definition of the lower mouth. I'd also try and work on the whiskers as well, but other than that, it's solid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 not a bad start. eyes are too high and close together, the crest shape has all those little bobbles from the face sticking out, and it feels slightly like the eyes and top of the head are 3/4 while the bottom half is nearly front on.

MikePho3niX Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Guess all the Real life Drawing class i missed in high school would have helped me on this. I look at some of the logos you got Davidson and i see all the simple lines and it looks so easy. But i just have no concept of body posture or field of view. This is the times i wish i could go back to and pay attention. LOL I envy you that you can do what you do FD. Anyhow taking another Stab at it with the tweaks you guys have suggested. here is the update. I feel my Biggest issue and problem is eyes. My girlfriend always tells me the eyes are throwing her off. id like to make it look Meaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJworks Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 It's not necessarily the eyes; I think it's the mouth. It's a major depth perception to me. The rest of the head looks round and 3d but the mouth looks flat. Curve the teeth and mouth a bit more and it'll be decent Dribbble | Twitter | Facebook | Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the head looks round and 3d but the mouth looks flat. Curve the teeth and mouth a bit more and it'll be decentI wouldn't change the shape of the mouth or teeth, I'd move the position of them. If Mike were to take all the white areas in the nose and mouth and move them to the right until the point at the top of the cheek on the left lines up pretty much with the bottom corner of the eye on the left that should fix the problem (that may be a little much by try it then work back if needs be). He'll then have to adjust all the orange that makes up the nose and other parts of the face but at least the relationship between the eyes and nose should be more accurate. Then and only then would I look at whether or not the shape of the teeth need to change, and I'll be honest I dont think they'll need to change much if at all.Good looking logo I look forward to seeing it progress and it's miles better than some of the others that have been adopted! 9ersteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's kinda where I thought things should line up based on your second version.9erssteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJworks Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Perfect! Nice job, you've came a long way. You don't have to but see if you can test out some other color schemes. Dribbble | Twitter | Facebook | Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePho3niX Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 I was thinking i can make my own Wild Jersey. I made it look in those colours its looked sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckDownfield Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I think you should work on some other color schemes, maybe try blue eyes. I also think you should do something about the shading on the brow. As of now, it appears to be a unibrow.
