Fox Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 So, not to sound like a whiner or anything, but it really is discouraging to post concepts here anymore. When I first started doing concepts people where very helpful and did a good job of giving comments and criticism. I thank those of you that still do. However it is frustrating to put so much work into something and not have the desired feedback. Personally, I just do this for fun, because I enjoy it. I would just post everything on my blog, but I post here first because I want feedback. Without that, I'm not sure what the point is of posting concepts here is anymore. Again, I don't mean to sound like a big complainer, but I wanted to put this out there. And this goes for all designers, not just myself. Thanks.I hear you man. I've made some concepts too, but I've probably spent less than 10% the time you take on your concepts, and even for me it's discouraging to only get two comments on it. This is the first time that I've posted in this thread, and to be honest that's because these concepts are so good that I don't really know where to improve. This is hands-down my favorite series on these forums. So excited to see the Astros concept! And on the Marlins set, my only suggestion would be to put the Miami script on the road alternate. Otherwise, great concept, keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmac Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Alright, I'm going to get the Astros posted here before I leave town.Houston AstrosNew colors -navy, orange, and cream. New wordmarks, and numbers, same logo. It's a pretty simple set, I went for an old time feel with a modern twist. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I like it. Like you said, it's pretty simple, but that's not always a bad thing. I think pretty much anything with Astros and orange/blue is awesome. The cream color you have there makes this even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESTONES6 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Do you have the template for this? And what font did you use for the wordmarks?

nash61 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Not digging the cream in this set. I think white would work better.I love how the orange looks on the grey jersey.

missouri tigers Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 ^ I agree, I think that plain white would work better in this color scheme. But I love everything else you did with the stros identety here. Looks real clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmets Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Definitely an improvement over what the Stros have now. Nice job as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YessSir32 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Great job with the Astros. I would consider this a huge improvement over what they have now. By the way, don't replace the cream with white. The cream looks amazing on this set. Detroit Falcons (NABL) | Detroit Gears (UFL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesfan16 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Wow, how did I miss this, lol? Anyways, it's a 10/10 for me. The home uniform looks great in cream. One of the biggest problems I've had with the black Astros cap is that it's hard to see from a distance(no contrast between the black and burnt orange). As usual, that is fixed here. I'm a huge fan of the font and the patch(I'm glad you kept the shooting star logo and the font screams HOUSTON ASTROS. Good choice). Again, good choice on the cream because that's a color that can be used throughout the entire set. Also, when I think of Texas, I think of a dirty, vintage, cream color. The road jersey is nice. I like that you outlined it in cream. The alternates are my favorite of the set. Especially the navy alternates and the star-crested ones. I would have rather seen blue lettering on the orange alternate. It would look better with cream numbers and letters if the orange was darker. For this current shade, I think navy letters and numbers outlined in cream would be better. BP Jersey is perfect. Once again, a very solid job Bmac.

BigBubba Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I've said it before and I've said it again: the MLB needs more colour. Too much white, gray, and black.And since you want C&C:-Add more piping to the cream ones-Fix the font (the serif on the bottom left corner of the 9 bugs me)-The cream is a bit too much. Would look great as a secondary colour, but not primaryI think the reason you don't get much C&C is because there's really not much to improve on: the concepts are all really good. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmac Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Alright I'm not really sure I have an update for Houston, it seems to be pretty well accepted. So I'll probably move on to the next team when I return from vacation, so you're stuck with the Astros for a few more days. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung08 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 The only thing I would change on the Astros is the font. It is just too boring for me. But that is more a preference than something that must be changed. I think everything else looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Thanks for the feedback on Houston. I think it is good as is, so I'm moving on.Kansas City RoyalsI feel like people are going to dislike this, but oh well. I feel the Royals have so much potential for a great identity but they fall short. And I'm really not a fan of the Dodger-ripoffs. With that said, KC has built up a brand over the years so I didn't want to completely start over. I kept the logos and scripts but added more color. Gold is finally used on the uniforms, and a black is back as an accent color. I'm sure people will see it as BFBS, but I feel it adds needed depth to the set. To balance the colors properly I used drop shadows. I included several alternates, including a fauxback uniform inspired buy the Negro League Museum in KC. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingChicago Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Get rid of the black, and it's great. Right now, the black is on some uniforms a lot and others barely at all. It doesn't work. But I LOVE that gold alt and the off white one is gorgeous.If you drop the black, it's basically perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdougfresh Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I see your intentions for adding black (I did it with the Lions too), but it needs to be tamed a bit, IMO. It's incredibly present on some, and missing on other uniforms. I'm not so sure I'm sold on the gold alt either. It's a little funky for baseball I think. It's definitely a nice start, I just think you brought a lot of ideas, maybe too many, and tried to jam them into a set where they would fit.

GriffinM6 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Great job! Just get rid of the black like the others said, and make a powder blue hat to go along with the powder blue jersey. Also give the gold alternate hat a gold bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YessSir32 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Agreed, get rid of the black and its great. This would give the Royals a strong identity that they have needed. Detroit Falcons (NABL) | Detroit Gears (UFL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightning25 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The cream alternate is amazing. I'd buy that, and I'm a Red Sox fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
