raysox Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 So let me explain myself. I would update the Rio concept, but my laptop charger is busted. I'm on the family computer, and all it has is paint. So the following concept is in paint vision!I've been sketching this on spanish notes, and math homework for the last 2 weeks. I really think I'm onto something. I wanted to base the logo somewhar odd the union jack. I was sketching and it started to form arrows. I've been fine tuning it on paper, and this is the best i could do on paint. The script is really what i'm excited about. London, with a 12 making up the D. Pretty simple, and not too much of a stretch. Here ya go!I'll definatly take all c&c. This'll be the first thing I do when i get my laptop back.Oh, and I'll see about doing a Sochi logo. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJworks Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Pretty nice for paint. I actually don't necessarily care for the '12 in there, because now it looks like LONIRON. Maybe try forming the 12 in negative space without ruining the wordmark? Just an idea.Nice work. Dribbble | Twitter | Facebook | Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Just thought of doing this.Better? @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJworks Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 The line just looks out of place, if you underlined the whole word but left a gap under that part of the D it might work. I'd also try moving the apostrophe somewhere else, maybe try forming it in the negative space between the N and D.

TornadoGTS Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Im not feeling either of them on the 2 part. I cant really pinpoint a solution but something's gotta change. Nice use of your Spanish notes and math homework btw.

raysox Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 One last try before bed. Just tuning this to make it perfect. Moved the apostrophe, underlined the whole wordmark, and spaced everything the same. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Try just placing the 2 in the word as normal. In some instances, your mind will read it normally...Also, i'd ditch the apostrophe completely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 You're on the right track. It's already better then the abomination that they're currently using. As for suggestions on how to improve, I would continue to tweak the wordmark. I would move the apostrophe back into the 1/D, but I would keep the outline you have on the most recent version.

fuzzy510 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I look at that logo, and the first thing I think of is a snowflake. It looks like a great Winter Olympics logo, but unfortunately...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 yeah, looks like loniron, and the 'o' would mess up any hint of a 12 by making it look like 120.its been done well already anyway. this is how you get 2012 in.the 'union jack' isnt a union jack. sorry, but the individual flags that make it up have very specific meanings,and to change it is to remove any sort of meaning from the national flag.plus it kind of looks like a snowflake winter olympic logo. reminds me of the calgary olympic logo.

Not a Union Flag and looks like a snowflake. Either that or a combination of religious crosses. I think that the Wordmark part is workable. But somehow not quite there yet. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoGTS Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 That or four arrows pointing to the center lol.

BBTV Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Of course it's a little different, but looking at that logo instantly made me think of this: "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Cola Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Raysox,I don't think the design is bad...I just don't think it works for the Olympics. The logo isn't abstract and out there enough- clear elements of the flag are presented in your design and if you check out previous designs, that usually isn't the case. Usually some piece of architecture, famous landmark, or other historical reference is displayed in some abstract way. The flag is just a little too obvious and bland to work, in my opinion.

jonioks Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Raysox, you've done it again, that's absotely stunning. Beats their Olympic logo and "brand". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
