Waffles Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 It's really damned solid, but it looks more like an eagle than a hawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-O Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 It's really damned solid, but it looks more like an eagle than a hawk. Very true! It was hard to find colors that really worked well with what I pumped out. So I just went with this. Maybe Skyhawks are just fancier names for Eagles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-O Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 How could I improve this logo? I am looking at it more and more and I don't know what to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 It looks like the side of his beak is a little too bulbousy... he's not chewing gum, is he?Other than that, it is an uber-solid design. Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 only thing i'd change is a pupil...right now, it looks a little glassy-eyed, and out of it... if you gave it some peircing eyes, it'd look damn near perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Its not bad but it looks too much like an Eagle to me. 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...
zer0dotcom Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 you did that in PAINT? holy S#%*...that is simply awesome... personally, I think it looks more like a seagll. if you wanted to make it more distinct/different from an eagle, don't hook the beak so much at the tip. making it straighter will change the perception of which birds it is very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-O Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 Well with all this talk of it looking extrordinarily like an eagle! Here is my newest concept! A new alternate for the Washington Capitals!, It's far out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznit1083 Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Wow, I must say, that is an excellent logo. You should definitley invest in illustrator, you've got some talent that would translate well on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 WOW! Given that you rendered this in PAINT, I've got to say that I'm pretty damned impressed. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I think it needs to be a color, rather than white, to get away from the bald eagle look. JQK's suggestion about the beak is vaild too... it looks like he's chewing.Your Paint concepts rock. [whips out ceremonial sword] I dub thee, Sir Pixelot.

Phil Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 It's very good Steve-O, but it reminds me a lot of Philadelphia's football team.Their's is obviously more horizontally oriented, however the mouth position and the three lines coming up the neck are what caught my eye. I'm by no means saying you copied, however perhaps if you changed that around a bit, it would help.Once JQK mentioned that gum-chewing element, I saw it right away. Also, the neck is a little wide. The Caps' concept is awesome (great jersey design... I like thge stars on the sleeves, and how it works into the rest of the trim), but again, especially in terms of pro sports, it might be too close to Philadelphia's eagle to create the unique brand that Washington might want to put out there.I'd leave the eye white (or at least solid-coloured)... the more mystery, the better.All in all, fantastic work. Although it'd look better in Illustrator, it's cool to see some hot designs coming out of Paint as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 The lines could be rendered a little more. Choppiness can be good but too much is just too much.

paynomind Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 The choppiness isn't intentional, i am SURE, it was done in paint for crissakes..Very nice. Steve-o is living proof that paint alone is no excuse!I love the eye pupil-less, makes him look meaner.Maybe try instead of white, to use a medium brown, then a dark brown for accents? Might look more hawkish. NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ! Going to college gets you closer to the real world, kind of like climbing a tree gets you closer to the moon.

Steve-O Posted May 1, 2004 Author Share Posted May 1, 2004 I've been tinkering with the colors and I don't think this scheme is toooooo bad. Kinda looks more like a hawk now. Let me know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
