MiLB Re-Brands: Akron Aeros

[bohob]

I started on an Akron Aeros concept. I decided to ditch the space cat for an astronaut theme. I have four color combinations: purple/mid-blue/taupe, navy/teal/taupe, purple/lime/steel blue, and navy/lime/steel blue. I'm personally leaning toward one of the options with lime. As usual, the Aeros wordmark is custom. The moon in the background doubles as a baseball. C&C please.

I like the bottom left one the best...It gives off the best "space" feel of the 4 IMO, and is very unique. This logo is really well done btw.

[HydroBolt3]

I love the font, but I think that the bottom right is the best

[CAB]

Very, very cool logo. Really like the moon/baseball.

As far as colors, lime green and purple would look awesome for minor leagues IMO.

[cameroncrazie07]

Yeah I think either on of the bottom ones would look good, if I had to choose id say bottom left

I think the moon looks a bit too much like a bowling ball. I'm not sure if I like the space-man concept generally or not, but not a bad execution of what you're going for.

Font is cool.

Hmmmm.... I really like the theme here, and it's a good start. But I do think it needs some major tweaking. As far as colors go, I like the bottom right combination.

I agree that the moon has a bit of a bowling ball thing going on, probably because it looks too smooth. Why not use that medium blue tone to show a blast radius around a few of the craters? It might help create more texture.

I like the "astronaut" guy... I just don't see him as an astronaut. He looks more like a comic book-style "space guy," which is fine. I think it's the gloves and the form-fitting, shiny-looking suit he's wearing (also the lack of a big helmet) that's keeping him from looking like a true astronaut. I think you should keep him the way he is, but add a streak--below the wordmark and coming from behind it--to make it look like he's flying through space to make that catch. Along the same vein, why not put a ball in there, arcing toward his glove, so that it looks like he's actually about to catch it instead of just flailing out there.

I also love the custom "Aeros" wordmark, it's very well done. I do think you should add a tiny downstroke to the top left portion of the A. And I'd reverse the middle horizontal stroke on the S, so that it is a mirror image of the ligature between the A and the E.

Bottom left or bottom right are the best.

This is really cool.

[JamieRose]

Really like the two with the neon green, with the purple and green being the more underused of the color choices.

[aci]

I like the bottom right the best, and the logo looks great except for one thing: it reads 'ZEROS' to me.

[Dogeshak]

You can never go wrong with lime green.

[spamspamspamspam]

I gotta be honest, though I think a moon baseball would be a good idea for a secondary logo for a space themed team, I'm not really liking this concept. I think it might be that the spaceman has no face.

[phlash]

Finally concept for a team desperately in need of one.

I like it as a whole and I would choose the bottom left color scheme as it would best transition from their old identity.

[jaha32]

I like most of your work, but to be honest, I couldnt even tell that it was an astronaut or an alien at first until I read what other people said. I like the rest of the logo. simplicity shading usually works, but for this astronaut i think he needs more detail or remove him all together.

UPDATE

I've tweaked the spaceman as per dgn's suggestions. I've added a streaking baseball to the glove, flipped the crossbar of the S, and made the moon craters more subtle (along with altering the positioning) so they don't look like bowling ball holes. I tried the streak coming from behind the spaceman, but it seemed too cluttered. I added in more white throughout the concept. I also decided to go with the navy and lime combo, as it was quite popular. I was going to go purple/lime, but navy offered more uniform options.

aci: I'm not sure how you are seeing a Z there. If you could elaborate?

spam: The spaceman having no face creates a sense of mystery, which aids in the overall feel of the concept.

jaha: I tried to show a little more of the chest of the spaceman. I hope that helps. If not, could you be more specific?

I have included the wordmarks and supporting logos as well in the logo sheet. I also have some cap options.

C&C please.

First of all i am glad you chose those colors, you dont see them together much and they look nice. As for the hats I like the light blue one with the navy brim (with the A) and the navy one with the light blue brim (with the A). Those are both really nice in my opinion.

[HydroBolt3]

I would buy these hats.

[Dogeshak]

Really cool set here for me my favorite hats are (from left to right, starting at the top) 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10

[CJworks]

Really diggin' the top right, 2nd green, and top left caps... but the astronaut alone is really ruining it for me. He looks way too stationary to be diving for a ball; if you were going for more of a 'no gravity' idea, he should probably look like he's in mid-stride,that's what most people are familar with when relating to walking on the moon.

[TBGKon]

It mioght just be me, but on the script I'm thinking the letter A should be modeled after a capital "A" rather than a loser case "a". Something about it makes it look like a Z or a 2.
