dwertman Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Freakin Awesome........Our logo from this year was good,but that is freakin amazing.You are the MAN!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster04 Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 I like it, I think it is very un-nitroy of you.. Meaning it does not hold that same look as your other works, which is perfectly fine.. If you did not sign the image, I would not have guessed you drew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster04 Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 FYi needs a shadow on the left side, our left looking at him, of his hat.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDunn Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Something seems off to me with having the leaf behind the mountie's head. Makes the logo needlessly tall, IMO. However, if you move the leaf down, it would look like the guy has this spire shooting out of his head. Maybe if the leaf were made smaller and offset a little to the left(our left, not the mountie's). I dunno.The wordmark is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynomind Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Sabres is on to something. The leaf in the background looks like a headress to me. Any reason it couldn't be twice as big, as a backdrop to the whole logo/wordmark?Also, you have the 'primary' as the combonation between the 'secondary' and 'wordmark.'Is this the proper naming convent? I need to change the way I refer to things, then. I always called primary the logo itself.. the wordmark the wordmark, and the 'secondary' a unique piece of art that associated with the primary. I guess my way was incorrect. I will change the way I refer to things.Well done with the human... one doesn't get a lot of humans in nitro work, and i like seeing human in this one.Well done!

nitroseed Posted April 11, 2004 Author Share Posted April 11, 2004 Well, I agree about the leaf. I've been trying to figure out what to do with it... making it overly large causes it to completely dominate the entire logo, and making it smaller seems to make it unnecessary. I'm still playing with it, though. Thanks for the suggestions!As for the naming, I don't know if it is or not. I just called it that since I didn't really know what else to call it. So, don't quote me on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefrsn Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I think the wordmark is strong. The logo is good, but needs a little more of something. I can't put my finger on what though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artvandelay Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I would make the leaf bigger and move it down to the center of the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynomind Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 What if you off-center it? and maybe even add the grey border to the mountie in front of the leaf?Damn, here I go, not able to describe...here.. lookit this...(note addendum to copywrite.. lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiznit1083 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Well, wow. I think it looks fantastic. I like the smaller leaf to be honest. The larger leaf downplays the mounty. Maybe keep it off to the left like payno's edit, but move it lower so that the top of the leaf is at the top of the mounty's hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznit1083 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 BTW, I'm loving the flurry (sp?) of concepts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynomind Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Does it bother anyone that the 'Mountie' isn't 'mounted?' kinda looks like a 'Standie' right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 This logo looks very good! However, I'd like to see another shade of some shadow work on his face and the uniform. I think if you could make that possible the logo would stand out a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted April 12, 2004 Author Share Posted April 12, 2004 Well, here is my reason for not adding more shading on the hat and the face: The logo already has seven colors, which is usually too many, but somewhat necessary in this case: Black, Red, Dark Red, Flesh, Burnt Orange, White, and Silver. In order to add shading to the face and the hat, I'd have to add two new colors: some darker shade of flesh and a darker burnt orange. There might be a way to do it with black, but I think it might look really odd that way. I'll try it, but I don't think it will look very good.Payn: I thought about doing something with a horse, but I was keeping it close to the logo that the team used the previous year:2003 Saskatchewan Mounties Logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 You could get away with adding some more black to his face and uniform. That could cover the shading problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
