Raymie Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'm reminded of the Fish Sticks Islanders. Which isn't a bad thing. Great scheme on the wrong team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 The green is WAY too dark. try a powder blue.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

chickenfish13 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Honestly I dig the green, and I think it fits the name well. Really nice work here Jaha, something different. I didn't really have a problem reading Waves, and I think if you put the crossbar in on the A it would easily readable. Great job! dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 The green is WAY too dark. try a powder blue.I wanted to go with a turqois or greenish color as opposed to yet another powder blue/sky blue/baby blue (which I consider to be roughly the same color). There are six or seven teams with those colors in this league. Since this team is the "Waves", the color choices are limited. Chickenfish seems to like the green so maybe it's not too bad. I'll play around with colors, but I'm mostly satisfied with these. DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody21 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 try a lighter turqoise colour for the waves with silver and orange jaha. In the last game against Detroit, the time from ten minutes left to one minute left was probably the longest nine minutes of my life. But from one to zero was probably the greatest time I've ever had. I didn't want the clock to run out. It was such a great feeling: people crying in the stands, people jumping up and down, people cheering. Guys couldn't even sit up on the bench. It was probably the best minute of my life.Ah, the "I'm kidding" - the universal internet excuse for saying something that others perceived as dumb.

mbannon92 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I think adding the crossbar to the A and reducing the height of the white highlights in half would make the letters much more legible.Otherwise I love it. The colors look great, especially the turquoise, and I really like the basketball/waves at the bottom.

JLopesXC Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I have two suggestions that I hope you consider.1) Waves is a pretty boring name to be quite honest. Rhode Island gets pretty windy considering nearly the entire state is on the coast. I suggest you change the name to "Whitecaps". Here on Cape Cod there's a baseball team named the Brewster Whitecaps and I think it's a fantastic name, given that it sounds much more dynamic than "Waves". "Providence Whitecaps"/ "Rhode Island Whitecaps"> "Providence Waves".2) Like many others have said I think you may need to fix/use less colors in the font, but if you were to change the name I hope simplifying it would be implied.

jaha32 Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Updated the lettering. I stuck with pretty much the same colors. Some people liked them. There is much less orange this time. I added the crossbar to the A. I then cut the highlights in half, but then decided to eliminate them all together.-JLopesXC, I kept the name. I like your suggestion of WhiteCaps if this were a baseball team, but it didnt sound like a basketball name, not that the name Waves necessarily triggers the thought of basketball either. At the start of this logo I even considered just calling them the "WAVE". No "s". So here is the update.

hugevolsfan Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I think Providence Waves sounds a lot better for a basketball team than Providence Whitecaps as well!Wonderful job again on making this a very realistic logo for a team.

Jimmy1 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I like that logo, the colours work well with the logo and I love the wave design around the basketball. Nice job on creating a realistic design, can't wait to see what the unis look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Here are Providence Waves with jerseys and a court now. For the jerseys, I could have put waves or something hinting at waves on them, but I decided that it would be cliche, predictable, and too 1990s-ish. So I went with a more standard jersey design, but I like how the colors compliment each other, especially on the blue aways. The green color is even more green this time and slightly less turquiose than before. The player on the jerseys is Lenny Wilkens who played at Providence College.

knnhrvy16 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Love the Waves! Really great identity. Nice colors and awesome logo design.My one complaint is actually for the court. I think as it is now there may be too much navy, especially for a team with other bold colors in their scheme. Perhaps an aqua key could shake things up a bit. Other than that, everything is great! Nice work! The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

jaha32 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 knnhrvy16, I took your suggestion and added more green to the court. I also realized that if I flipped the bottom oval to face the other way, it looked better in my opinion. That way the eye can read the word WAVES, left to right, and then shift down to the wave in a circular manner. Maybe a little over-analytical, but I like it a little better this way.

GeoTheo Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Nice work on Providence, jaha. The court is much improved and the logo update looks great, its amazing what such a little change can do. These unis are among my favorites from your series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zpqmaowl Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 What bothers me about Providence is how much white there is in the logo and none on the court. the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingChicago Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Once again, great work. One thing that bothers me, however, is the way that the numbers have a boxy outline but curved edges. It's really distracting in my opinion. Is there a way you can obtain this effect, but to a lesser extent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 What bothers me about Providence is how much white there is in the logo and none on the court.That thought crossed my mind while I was making this too that maybe the logo doesn't match the court all that well. I will look into adding some white to it.Once again, great work. One thing that bothers me, however, is the way that the numbers have a boxy outline but curved edges. It's really distracting in my opinion. Is there a way you can obtain this effect, but to a lesser extent?Thanks. I felt like trying something different with the letters after 28 teams. I didn't know if it was good or bad, but just something to try to make the Waves wordmark unique, as if the inner part of the letters flowed smoothly like waves.Does anyone else dislike the curvy inner letters with the boxy outline? If so, I can change it. I thought it was kind of cool, especially on the numbers on the jerseys, but maybe it's just me...

They just look incomplete or you decided to go with a different font after starting but did not change the outline.Oh on the court you might be able to change the lines surrounding the 3 point line & key to white.
