GFB Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I haven't posted anything worthwhile in the concepts section recently, so I thought I'd finally post something. As of September, I am an owner in the Continental Football Association fantasy football league here on the CCSLC. The league has been in a downward spiral recently in popularity and interest, so in order to bring some excitement back to the CFA, I offered to re-do any teams logo if the owner was up for it. I just finished the logos for the Botany Bay Buccaneers (Mac's team)... This was for the Spokane Shockers, but they ended up moving so this won't be used... still, it's a fun design.I'll be continually updating this thread as I do more and more teams.

CJworks Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 These look really nice. That buccaneer looks so crisp and clean, really like the colors as well. The script however looks a little bland, it could use some supporting elements to make it a little more unified; maybe adding a sword to the bottom? I dunno. I'd also try and shrink the mouth as a whole, it kind of ruins the natural contour of the jaw, they're not as flat as you have presented.Spokane looks really sick, The helmet looks gorgeous. No nit-picks on this one.Awesome job, can't wait to see more. (and hopefully some uniforms?) Dribbble | Twitter | Facebook | Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnmrwrw Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Both are top notch work. I absolutely love the colors and the wordmarks. Fantastic work. HURRICANES | PANTHERS | WHITE SOX | WOLFPACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I definitely would not touch the Bucs' wordmark. A simple, unadorned wordmark with no additional bells and whistles is an essential part of a sports identity if you ask me. I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Those are both beautiful, nothing to say to those, just excited now to see more! Great work. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I would have the shaded part of the football going forward. I gives it more of a forward movement look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logoman Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Very, very nice work on both designs (as usual). I love the plugs as the laces on the Shockers football. The Buccaneers is very well done and the color choices - albeit unique - are very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quantum Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Both designs are solid. If I had one issue (albeit a minor one), it is that the Bucs two shades of green don't contrast enough. In the logo, it is fine, but on the helmet the two shades get a bit lost next to each other. "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity".

johnnygriswold Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I love everything about the Buccaneers logo except the jaw/mouth/teeth. Something seems off there. But really nice work.

Sguse1 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Id love to see that shockers identity morphed into an OKC thunder concept! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Regarding the Bucs wordmark: I left it that way because that the main logo is a 5-color design. If I was going to "unify" the wordmark to the logo, then I would have to either use all 5 colors and muddy up the wordmark, or I could leave out a color or two, but that makes the appearance of those colors in the primary logo seem "awkward" and "unnecessary". Also, I really like that wordmark... the letters have a nice shape and it's pirate-y without looking cheesy, which is very easy to do when doing pirates...Regarding the open jaw: The original idea I had for the logo was a laughing pirate. Why laughing? Because pirates were some crazy mofos. So when the decision was made to go with a jolly rogers look instead, I wanted to bring that idea along with the concept... and to be honest, I think it works even more now... "You think you got the last laugh just 'cause you killed me?" Regarding the shading of the football in the Shockers' logo:The ball is heading up, not forward.

CJworks Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I noticed this identity in the CFA section of the boards, and man it is one sick rendering. Excellent work.BTW, I'd love to see a helmet/uniforms. Dribbble | Twitter | Facebook | Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent work.BTW, I'd love to see a helmet/uniforms.We're waiting on the owner to decide... Also, all uniforms are the responsibility of the owners as of this year. Next year, all uniform designs will be moved to a common, CFA-use-only template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 All of these logos are great. Really some top-notch designs. How much input did the owners give you? Or were you pretty much on your own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area 51 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 That Pirate logo is awesome but the word mark is too thin for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 The Spokane Shockers set is my favorite. Really cool job on these - I wish I had your drawing talent. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
