Waffles Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 WaffleBowl II: The X-Line ChallengeYour mission, should you choose to accept it:Pick a MLB, NBA or NFL team (or an NHL/NCAA team that doesn't have an X-Line logo - for reference as to who has one already and who doesn't, go here)Make a Zephyr-esque X-Line logo for said team (one entry per entrant).Post it here by April 28th.Sounds easy enough, right? Good luck and happy, err, logoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 This sounds like some serious fun. The 28th gives me plenty of time to get some of these other logos I'm doing finished. Count me in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynomind Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Yes.And he just ate a St. Patrick's day cupcake.Very cool logo. Looks very x-line. It would fit in well. The small details should be tones down a bit, the real x-lines dont have so much detail.

CityOfWalrus Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 well I was trying to portray Vili The Warrior Hawaii's Mascot heres the pic I was going from: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynomind Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Oh, i knew what you were going for, and you did a pretty good job. I was just going along with hrivnaks joke.Seriously, I like it, but think that if you cleaned up some of the smaller lines and details, this would look a lot more like a real x-line.

Phil Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Very nice, CityOfWalrus, looks like a cross between the X-Lines for Texas AM, San Diego State, Louisiana Monroe, and Fuego Mountain.One suggestion... X-Lines tend to have very consistently, thick outlines. I'd suggest trying that with yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rozilla74 Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I agree with SyPhi. Use a heavier outline and simplify your logo some more. You have used some of the exagerrated features consistent with the X-line style very well. Keep tweaking and I think it'll get there. Good job.

Shmee Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I love that logo. Very new edge, very X-line. Anyone else notice that this has turned more into a "Worship Walrus" thread than any sort of competition? Then again, I haven't really helped that cause here, have I now.

artvandelay Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I would take those Hawaii logos off the headband. You can barely see them and there is no way that would appear in an embroidery application, especially on a hat. "...and you want to be my latex salesman."

rozilla74 Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I'm at a point where I am happy with this. I tried to emulate the X-line style as best as I could. Even threw in a retro option for kicks. Here are your X-line Milwaukee Bux.This will be my last concept for a bit as I will be taking a sabbatical from the boards. I'll pop in now and then to see how you are all doing. Enjoy!

Phil Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 The middle one is most X-Line-esque. Very nice rozilla.What's this I hear about leaving? Don't you know thatyou never leave the game.Corner Gas fans may enjoy that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
