exaccardi Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I like the new wordmark, but i think you hurt the actual logo. it was already amazing, there was no reason to simplify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzilligen Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 The eagle looks muck better, great work on that. The wordmark looks a lot better as well, great update. Dribbble | Twitter | Facebook | Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnmrwrw Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 #12: Montreal WanderersMontreal, QC // Folded 1918The Wanderers almost didn't make it in, as they only played a few NHL games after the formation of the league before being forced to fold. The old Wanderers were known for their distinctive shield-shaped logo and the thick chest stripe across the sweater (they were even nicknamed the Redbands). I've tried to base the update off of those elements, though the colors have evolved: red has given way to burgundy, charcoal, and orange. I struggled for a while to come up with a visual representation for "Wanderers." I almost went with a planetary theme, even sketching out sets of logos that I was quite fond of, but in the end I decided I liked the idea of a wolf look. I was thinking of wolf packs wandering the countryside, terrorizing and such... but the multiple-wolf logo was far too busy, so I settled on a single wolf head, set inside the old shield.Anti-pipers, look away! The primary uniforms borrow the thick chest striping and extends it to the sleeves and socks, but it is truncated by flowing orange piping. The shoulder logo is a partial look at the running wolf, encircled by the team name.The alternate is all charcoal and has a slightly more traditional look, with angular striping throughout. The running wolf logo is the crest, and the shoulder patch is an updated version of the old W-shield logo.

cjzilligen Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I like this alot, but I would almost drop the orange completely, especially in the primary crest. It kind of 'detatches' itself from the shield instead of being all one logo. The eye is bothering me a bit as well, it just doesn't give off much character. I love the secondary crest though, almost like the Phoenix Coyotes. The wordmark suits the style and name with the wavy look, I like it. Solid work again.

Hathaway Browne Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Great job, although personally I don't like the red eye, but it works with the rest of it. Its not a deal breaker kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightning25 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 The eye is king of strange; you might want to add a pupil to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 What a terrific topic...!!! I love all the designs... excellent job, dgnmrwrw.

Phitin Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Fantastic rendering on the primary logo, but I just have a couple of suggestions:-The thin orange outline on everything is pretty unnecessary IMO. It just seems a little out of place and jumbles everything up, getting rid of the cohesion between the wolf and the shield behind it.-As others have stated, the eye would probably look a lot better without the demonic red fill. Adding a pupil there would probably work a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwertman Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I like this one a lot, but I agree the red eye is kind of different.Maybe it was because I was scoring WFL games, but for some reason I first thought Soccer team when I saw that name Kings Cross AFC -BIP, Winnipeg Falcons - TNFF, St. Louis Archers - MLF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 As with just about every concept in this series, Oakland Seals and Colorado Rockies are a few exceptions, love the logos and colour scheme, hate the jerseys.Why do the chest and sleeve stripes end for no other reason then to accommodate the outlandish piping patterns that do nothing to enhance the sweater? Looks like you're trying to be futuristic just for the sake of being futuristic. Eliminate the piping, complete the stripes and you've got a near perfect design.

Frylock Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I like the red eye on the wolf -- if Buffalo can do it, so can you! And I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I like the hidden "M" in the primary crest and the hidden "W" in the alternate crest. Top notch work, just like the rest of this collection. Sure hope the see the Portland Rosebuds show up in this series! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFr Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Beautiful, except the jersey. Again, piping for piping's sake ruins the jerseys. Keep the striping going and this is perfect. My NHL Rebrand BlogCheck it out and comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbannon92 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I have to agree with everyone else on this one...amazing logos, but the piping does seem unnecessary. Also, I don't like the design on the alternate...it looks bland and incomplete.

RuffDawg Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I have to ask: Did you, by chance, choose orange and charcoal as a reference to the fire that burned down the Wanderers' arena and forced the team out of existence? 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...
Has2916 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I love the tie-in of the old shield with the wolf's head. Also, I like the vintage styled numbers, but they are still different from anything any other team has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancinFool Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hmm...interesting set! I like the colors used here, but the eye seems too...too much red. I guess. Everything else is fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
