chickenfish13 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 OK, I've had this done for about a month, and wanted to post it. I had heard that the Las Vegas 51's were getting a new identity, but I thought the name was good for a MiLB team, and the primary wasn't too bad. So I updated the alien head, as well as creating some supporting marks. The first thing I did was change the colors to black/white/green/ and orange, to give it a more spacey look. I may need to drop either orange or green, I'll wait to hear what you have to say. I don't have much to say for the alien head, and the supporting marks are pretty obvious, a streaking U.F.O., an LV, and a 51's monogram. So, let me know how you guys feel about these logos, and let me know what I need to do to improve them. Thanks. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I really like the colors, underused color combo IMO.Also, the logos look really good, I like the alien and the spaceship. The font doesnt work for me though, I would try to find something more spacey or unique, rather than a generic looking font that could really work for any team ---Owner of the NHA's Philadelphia Quakers, the UBA's Chicago Skyliners, and the CFA's Portland Beavers (2010 CFA2 Champions)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks, the font is actually their current font , I'll look for something a bit better. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Haha, I was gonna mention that they use that for thier wordmark. I can respect the ideas, but i'd change just about everything. No one really uses the best color with having an "alien" themed franchise, neon green and black. You've taken away the one thing that I really loved about thier current primary, that the aliens head has stitching like the baseball. You've basically kept the same script, and "51's" logo and just changed the positives about thier package including the colors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 OK, I respect your opinion, and I too liked the baseball stitching, so I tried to hide that in their with the marks on his head ,the marks on the left kind of mimic the pattern of baseball stitching, or so I tried to make it. Are you saying I should change the colors to green and black, and just keep that? dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckDownfield Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Do not change to neon green and black. The colors you have now a sophisticated, and are used well. Neon green and black is very uninspired for an alien concept. Besides you should generally steer clear of neon colors for sports teams.

jaha32 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 not bad although i think a primary logo should not simply have the city name in it. should try and include the '51s' in there somewhere. one nit-picky thing on the UFO logo I think the lights should be more oval shape based on the angle and less circular. at least if i am looking at it correctly. the colors work fine by me. when I think of he 51s I think blue but thats why this is a concept. I think something pertaining to baseball, a bat, a ball, or seems in the head, would be a nice add since it is rather basic in arrangement as it is now.

Shane Does Art Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I think you need to find a way to remove the white in the eyes. Right now he looks like a frog of some kind. Hi, how are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzilligen Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I agree with the previous comments about changing the font. But I'm a little dissapointed that there's no '51's' anywhere in the primary... Dribbble | Twitter | Facebook | Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnygriswold Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I actually like the spaceship supporting mark more than the alien head. The "LV" i'm not too much of a fan of. Good job overall.

Spammy Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Try stitching on the alien head it would look sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Lol, well this time pucks comment is better... Puck, I actually realized I had slanted it the opposite way of the text after I posted it, so I'm debating whether to change it.I should have an update sometime soon... dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Schwartz Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I might be wrong on this - but as far as logos go, it seems like the design element of text with two colors (half and half, or as a shine effect) in it is used very disproportionally here to what is actually used in professional/college sports.

chickenfish13 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 OK, heres update #1. Although I liked the marks on his head, I put in the stitching.I didn't change the font, but I repositioned it. I couldn't put 51's in there, because everything I did looked tacked on, or off centered. If anyone has any ideas regarding that, I wouldn't mind hearing them. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 have you thought about having the green fade into the white? I know gradients don't look good in sports logos but I really think it would work for this one. I'm just not digging the solid two-tone. I do like the addition of stitches though.

chickenfish13 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 I just tried the gradient, and it doesn't really work, plus the way I've clipped the two tone doesnt make it the easiest to work with. Any other ideas? dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Or you could try the "gradient" that Virginia Tech did for the procombat uniforms:http://friendsoftheprogram.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/vt_pro_combat_pant_hires.jpgThat should be a great way to incorporate a gradient, which i also think would fit perfectly here ---Owner of the NHA's Philadelphia Quakers, the UBA's Chicago Skyliners, and the CFA's Portland Beavers (2010 CFA2 Champions)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 I wouldn't really know how to accomplish that, but I can give it a try. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Inkscape won't allow me to do anything to the white part, as it's a clipped object. I'm not entirely sure what else to do to the text. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
