mcrosby Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 The snout perspective issue has been addressed, but I have one more thing to point out. The 'swoosh' that comes out of the circle is much too close to where the other ear would be, and the way it protrudes it looks like one ear is much longer than the other and is sticking out of the circle. It looks odd. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricearoni1287 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'd love to see the 3rd logo blown up. It looks like a great design. Great work on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'd love to see the 3rd logo blown up. It looks like a great design. Great work on these.The alternate is an all dark brown set, with some (slightly modernized) classical elements. The crest is a combination of a full body seal with a custom cursive wordmark. Hopefully, enough of the seal shows through for it to work. The primary logo's the sleeve patch.

GMW79 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Wow! I really like the logo a lot! The colors aren't my personal favorite, but they are appropriate for the team. The only problem I see is that the striping on the away sweaters is the same as the Sharks. Otherwise, this is yet another amazing addition to this collection.

Billy B Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 This whole series has been great, but the Seals concept is just amazing. I love the alternate, some striping on the bottom would make it perfect. The regular home and away are great too, I really like the sleeve striping.

rvrdgsfn Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 #8: Oakland SealsOakland, CA // Relocated 1976Kept them as the "Oakland" Seals instead of the "California" Seals, since we now have three other California franchises. And the interplay between a franchise north of the Bay (Oakland) and south of it (San Jose) would be nice. The colors sort of worked themselves out: a sea-foam green, a dark (almost charcoal gray) brown, and bright golden yellow. For the wordmark, I wanted something that was modern but inspired by their old curvilinear, rounded "Seals" wordmark. The primary uniforms are very clean and simple. (Look Ma! No piping!) Curvy, reversed-color sections on the sleeves, and no superfluous logos. Green sweater at home. The alternate is an all dark brown set, with some (slightly modernized) classical elements. The crest is a combination of a full body seal with a custom cursive wordmark. Hopefully, enough of the seal shows through for it to work. The primary logo's the sleeve patch. A+ quality work my friend. The third jersey is magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omnivore Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Love the 3rd jersey for Seals. Just really well done take on a classic logo. Great series you've got going here.

mcrosby Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I feel like I have to say this, because everyone else seems to think the exact opposite. I think the primary logo is light years ahead of the third crest. The seal looks like it was just swimming along and got caught in some fisherman's net... ironically the net spells 'Seals'. I love the jersey itself, but that logo is just not good. No offense, it's wonderfully rendered, it just feels cluttered and not hockey-like to me. just my 2 cents. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 The third reminds me of the Sidewinders from minor league baseball, to a point. Well rendered, but a tad minor league. Also, the wordmark doesn't quite match the depth of the primary. I'd add a black outline between the green and yellow on "Seals" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianVlietDesign Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 As much as I've loved this series, I'm going to have to vote no on the Seals. The whole set just looks a little too minor league to me. I do like the primary logo a lot, but it just doesn't fit the uniforms to me. I also agree with mcrosby on the alt. uniform and logo. You gotta go back to the drawing board on that one. NYCFC - MLS CUP CHAMPIONS - 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnygriswold Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I really like the Seals primary. But I do agree with an earlier poster who pointed out the perspective of the nose is off. I like the color scheme but I think the dark jersey should be black to help that logo pop.

untvar Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Your skills are so pro it seams awkward to criticize, but the Seals concept is the the clunker of the group.- The primary logo seams sketched and not finished to the level of your other work.- The nose is out of perspective (already mentioned).- The ears are of different styles.- The eyes are zombie.- The jersey colors are too 'florescent' for hockey.- The logo fades into the background (already mentioned).IMO this concept needs another stage of development before it's in a finished state.

RuffDawg Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 You've managed to do the impossible and make a seal look tough. I know I'm late to the party, but this series has given me some great catch-up reading. There's a lot of creative thought that shows in your explanations behind certain looks for certain teams and I admire that. There comes a point when you don't stand for the constant heartbreak anymore, and walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
