NJTank Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Looking at this and the Arean Bowl logo, the AFL is apparently using Mrs. Thole's 5th Grade Class to design their logos. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like it better than the old one.I'm not at all saying it's necessary a great logo, but I feel that with a few modifications, it could be quite good. Just because the majority of people here dislike it doesn't mean everyone will. Like with anything else, there are always some who will like something that the majority dislike. I don't see why this is so hard to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I don't see how a clip-art football mixed with a Trekkie's representation of the Klingon alphabet can be considered good football design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I make assumptions about people who read and post on this board and I'm sure that some of them are way off base. But the impression that I get is that there is a contingent of students and other aspiring designers as well as a mix of professionals. I hope that oddballs post doesn't send the former off to the bell tower with a high powered rifle or the latter back to grad school for their MBA.I'm sorry you feel the way you do OB, but my experience doesn't make bad clients and bad work a foregone conclusion. I give you Studio Simon as example. Minor league baseball is a difficult environment to operate in and they consistently create brilliant marks that clients, fans and other designers love. I'm sure that isn't because of the forward thinking, fashionable and profoundly savvy clients they attract, but more likely due to Dan's ability to manage his studios projects and his clients expectations.Being a designer is about creative problem solving and sometimes the problems are easily solved and other times they are not. Back to Studio Simon. If I had a client ask me to create an identity based upon a regional type of onion, I'd promptly hit the eject button. By all accounts that's an equation for disaster and something that on the surface looks like a perfect opportunity for a less than optimal solution. But Dan managed to take that awful direction and turn it into not only something good, but something great.I don't think you can hang the shortcomings of the Georgia Force's new logo on the client, that's just not fair to the client. The designer ultimately chooses what they show to the client and just because they were give onions, doesn't automatically mean that the final product will stink (or make your cry).I'm talking reality, not fantasy here. I never said it was the client's fault, I just said that sometimes, what the client likes is what you disagree with. We do the best with what we are given and sometimes it isn't great. Sorry I guess there are people around who aren't as good as Simon Studio. Now let's all bow down to the God's of Design because they can pick and choose what they do. *Sarcasm there if you didn't catch it.* I guess you're so great that you wouldn't take a challenge such as an onion logo. Oh wait, you didn't do it, someone else did. If someone was going to a bell tower with a rifle or going back to get their MBA, they were going in the first place. Secondly, if you're in design and you're going back for your Masters of Business Administration, you probably couldn't cut it as a designer anyway. Let me quote a former teacher of mine to a student, "Here's .25 cents, go call your mother and tell her you're not going to be a graphic designer."

rtrich11 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I forgot to toast the first post where he compared the logo to looking like a NIFL one. Good call. One thing about the old AFL is that the logos were, for the most part, sophisticated enough to give a good impression about the league. With the Desperados, and now the Force, these two teams give a hacky, unprofessional impression. Hope that trend doesn't continue. Perception isn't everything, but it can count for a lot sometimes. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me quote a former teacher of mine to a student, "Here's .25 cents, go call your mother and tell her you're not going to be a graphic designer."Just because you're stuck doing work you can't stand behind doesn't mean that's how the design biz works. A client might make a choice or go in a direction that the designer might not like, but that's not an excuse to crank it out the way they want it and call it a day(Choosing what you present to a client is also huge. If you hate something, why would you ever present that as an option?). As a designer, you are creative problem solver as Joe said. You need to take what you consider an inferior idea or direction and make it work in a way where you would still be happy to put you name on it. Either that or learn how to persuade people with well thought out designs. You should be able to explain why you did everything you did in a design, and if you can do that, you can more often then not convince a client that your idea is the best idea.Also, I'm pretty sure Joe is Joe Bosack, so I'm pretty sure he can back up what he said with solid work...and your teacher sounds like a real a**hole.

santoleri3 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 OKC Thunder called... they want their logo designer back...Okay, listen, I'm not a designer, so caveat emptor... I have to admit, from an outsiders perspective, it is interesting watching the back and forth because it gives me an insight into how graphic artists think. I don't like the logo, and I thought the "lightning-bolt-saber" was one of the better AFL logo designs. My $.02 Courtesy chapeeko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
