Phil Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 ...and I don't like that much at all. You know why? Because they went the stupid 'overtly thrust-it-in-your-face' Canadian imagery, and completely missed out on the subtle cool things they could've done. Like the stripes on the football. Not a ridiculous maple leaf on the helmet. The "CFL Pro Players" text is alright by me, nothing special, but that's okay. The rest of the logo however looks very bush league to me.What's so great about Todd McFarlane? I'd take a sterling, nitroseed, rozilla, or Bosack over McFarlane on any day of the week. I don't like what McFarlane did for the Oilers, and if he did in fact do this logo, I can with certainty say that I don't like his style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I tend to agree Sy--although MacFarlane did some amazing work on Spider-Man, the Hulk, and Infinity Inc...but comics are not the same as sports logos...

paynomind Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 comics are not the same as sports logos... Amen. Sports logos are an entirely different game. Myself, I make what I think are top-notch corporate ID graphics.. but sports logos? I have a TON to learn.McFarlane is a phenominal cartoon artist. Sports logos? Not so much.

mac Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 in comic books every thing is exaggerated and the style for sports logos right now is to use simple stylizing effects, where the logo is smooth yet sharp. The two worlds clash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuss16 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Who is this Todd McFarlane dude? Anybody care to post the link to his portfolio site? Thanks. Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Todd McFarlane is the guy who created Spawn, the comic series... and thus is quite a rich guy apparently... and that's about all I know about him (that and I don't like his style). You could google-search for him, and find out about as much as you care to (and probably more).Thanks for the heads-up smackyeah. That's one awesome avatar you've got. Go Blue!

slapshot Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 McFarlane's Spawn company also produces the incredibly realistic sports figures that you can see at sports collectible shows, toy stores and, for some reason, ebgames.

thrasherman Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Has he done any other logos? I'm sure his own, but any other companies or things like CFLPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
