Davidson Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Someone asked the other day if I had done either a Vikings or Redskins logo concept, given a half a day home alone, I thought I might take a crack at them.So here is the Redskins logo.And a couple of Helmet concepts.Let me know what you reckon.FD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 If they have to keep the name, this logo is a great way for them to go. Very powerful, even regal. A great way to respectfully portray the mascot with a great blend of past logos mixed in there. I want to say the Gold helmet...but it just doesn't work as well as the Burgundy with this logo. Logo looks perfect to me. It'd be a very unique logo in the NFL (for example, when substituted on the NFL logos page for the current logo like some people do to put their logos in context). Awesome idea and execution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Something about the face doesn't seem right - not sure if it's the eyes, or the line coming down from the side of his nose, or what, but it looks like he's squeezing out what's left of last night's dinner.

Lights Out Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I really like it so far, but the "REDSKINS" script just isn't doing it for me right now. I just think the concept would look better with their current script. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 More slight changes.Not sure about the text, tried it with something more modern here, Ill have a think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fixer Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 looks great. I like the 1st script better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whchoclte Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Could you use their original wordmark and do notches in the top left in shape of spear. Triangular.Might be a nice modern touch to a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 The 2 feathers are throwing this off a bit. There's a lot of white/yellow/white shapes where the back of the head meets the base of the spear. What if you just used one big feather coming off the Indian head and extending below the spearhead?

mbannon92 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 That logo is amazing! I actually liked the original wordmark, and I would go with the burgundy helmet with different striping.

lost_limey Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 It's a great concept, as ever, but I do think it's a downgrade over what they currently have, and it seems to be far too bright. Especially as there seems to be a minor groundswell about going to the muddier looking colors of the 2002 70th Anniversary "Spear" unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I like the first script better than the "falcons" script, as someone pointed out. but overall, my reaction when i opened this was: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I think the logo is great. I like the Falcons script with it. But I would like to see something that the team can call its own. The logo is really great though and would work as a helmet design. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 agree about the colours and the text. im not especially keen on the original text, so ill take a look at it in the morning when i get to the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome idea and execution.Yes, we DO have to keep it and we will.Anyways, not a bad design, blending of a few eras. I'm not crazy about the yellowish helmet, but used on a gold-tone helmet, could work well. The color scheme they used for the 70th throwbacks would look great.I like this a lot. Great idea, much better than a lot of attempts to re-design the Skins. I appreciate you not trying to call them the Warriors or something worse. The name is staying.

Davidson Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Okay, last one for this evening. I downloaded the skins word type, but I dont like parts of it, so I remade it with a few changes.Have muted the colours a wee bit, which i prefer, added the chips on the spearhead. I like the red helmet best also, so a similarly recoloured version of that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
