ScotM Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I'm dedicating this one to number 8, who requested the LA Kings. Here's my first concept: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapeeko Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Impressive. Don't get me wrong this is a very amazing logo, but I have a few critiques. First of all where's the color? And secondly I would try to fit the crown more naturally on the lion's head it sort of looks out of place, the curvy elegant lion and then the angular blocky crown, just try to smooth it in more. Otherwise great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 8 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Thanks for taking my request! Im assuming you were going for a regal look but the lion looks like hes closer to sleeping. Some sharper lines on the eyes might help My concept blog http://hockeyconcepts.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotM Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 I agree, there's something not quite right about that eye. And the colour is a problem too, upon further view. I think I'm gonna go with a gold instead of grey and a less washed out looking black.How's this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 8 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Ok, i reccomend a darker black and you should probably stick with grey. He just doesnt look angry enough My concept blog http://hockeyconcepts.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotM Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Ok, I think the crown looks a lot better fitted, but I'm not convinced about the eye. Suggestions?Revised: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fixer Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 the silver/black lion's eye placement was a lot better. I feel like I've seen this lion before though...specifically on a user's avatar on here. I think he posts a lot in the requests section...maybe i'm mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotM Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Not quite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fixer Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 ya that was the avatar I was thinking of. My bad. not even close. I still feel like I've seen this one on google or something though. not blaming just saying it seems familiar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotM Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Here it is in grey, with a darker black and the eye farther to the right. As a secondary I don't think it necessarily needs to be aggressive looking:I agree the grey is a stronger colour.Edit: No worries, I think all the crowns and suns and lions begin to look alike after a while.

sergeimakarenkov44 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 cool idea, but at the moment the shading looks to be a bit off and the crown seems like its center is not facing the same way the lion is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fixer Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 well, I think you need to take the first image and retrace it in whichever program you are using if you can, while making the lion's over shape more shield like. More patch/heart/symbol like. I think that is the major thing that is messing it up for me. I think it needs to be smoother and less blob-esque.I like everything about the first one better. the eye placement and shape was perfect.After you do you that, I would take the crown and draw it to be facing the same direction as the lion and not just a flat forward crown stuck on the lion. Same with the jewel on the crown. The stroke outline also needs to be longer. I like the grey/black color scheme the best. (though purple wouldn't be a bad addition) and I get what you are sayin they kinda blend together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadFish Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Good start, but I'm still not feeling the lion and the crown being part of one image. What I'm thinking might help is if you press the hair down where the crown sits. As it reads now the crown has no weight and is delicately floating on the top of the lion's hair. Some shadow underneath the crown may help too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggman01 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 did you do both parts of that logo? the lion looks completely different from the crown...almost as though each was designed by a different designer...as a result, the crown looks like it has simply been placed on top the lion logo, rather than it looking like the lion is wearing a crown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotM Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 I drew them separately, since I wasn't even sure I was going to put the crown on the lion. So in reality it was just placed on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotM Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 I've reworked the lion and dropped the crown. I'm still not sold on the colours, but it's getting a lot closer:I also started work on the tertiary logo:I'm happy with the KINGS font, but not completely happy with the LOS ANGELES. C & C welcome.

Number 8 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 It would be cool if you could work an LA into the lion. The black is not dark enough My concept blog http://hockeyconcepts.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotM Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Here it is with a crown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Do you think you could recolor these logos in purple and gold, back when the Kings looked like the Lakers and played in the Forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 8 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 You could keep the crown as a primary too. It can be a strong logo My concept blog http://hockeyconcepts.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
