raysox Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Sup? So I got my computer back, and I could finally do concepts.On NHL 10, I'm the Avalanche on GM mode. The more I looked at their uniforms, the more i noticed things that bugged me. To start a total rehaul, you have to start from the top. I thought that it'd be cool if the A had mountain features, like you see below. The same avalanche motif exists crossing the A, but coming from a now capped mountain. I'm not happy with the light blue streaks, so suggestions! please! I also changed the colors. They use maroon/blue/black/silver, thats really too many colors. I dropped the silver, and made the blue light blue, similar to the Colorado Rapids. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 A freakin' sweet update for the most part, I'm especially liking the mountain A. Although the way you worked the avalanche into the logo just seems a bit off for some reason. Perhaps you could stretch the curve out to the left some more?

Buster Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Love the logo and colors. I see flames in the blue streaks, try removing the connecting line in the center two...that may be causing the flame similarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Billy Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 You really need to try and sneak a face in there somewhere.They did that with their current logo and it is awesome. I kid, I kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyHouse Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 This is pretty cool. 4/5. But I'm still a big fan of the current. Something about this throws the brand away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the way you worked the avalanche into the logo just seems a bit off for some reason. Perhaps you could stretch the curve out to the left some more?I was thinking the same thing before I even read Wildwing's post. I think it'd really help balance the logo out a bit better.As for the blue streaks, I like them, but maybe have them a bit thicker at the bottom, to make it seem like the puck is moving down the mountain and closer to the viewer?

Drakonius26 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Not bad, and I liked how you turned the A into a mountain range. Personally, I'm not a fan of light blue with maroon, as I'd prefer their natural shade of blue to make the concept even better. Other than wildwing's advice I'd keep everything the same.

BrianVlietDesign Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Honestly, the streaks look fine. Only thing is, are you using forest green to outline the A? If so, I'd get rid of that. NYCFC - MLS CUP CHAMPIONS - 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I'd get rid of that.Actually, it was a shade of black/greyI darkened that, made the puck the lighter of the two, fixed the streaks, and curved the avalanche. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakonius26 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Actually, it's now making the mountain look weird. At least the way you curved the avalanche. I know it's supposed to be an avalanche carrying a puck down the mountain, but it appears like the mountain is tipping over and the structure of it creates some issues with the A itself. Maybe if you kept the curve intact but defined the mountain peak more it would look a lot better overall. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I dont see this as an improvement over what they have. I think your A has too many points/peaks on it. But the real thing that seems like a downgrade is how you just have a snow streak behind the puck. On the real logo the snow has formed around the puck giving it this icey feel, as if the puck is freezing as it flies off the mountain. I like your colors, but the snow streak is just not frigid like the real one. DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 The biggest problem with this is that there is little to suggest movement in regards to how the snow is rendered. Its like the puck just slid down the mountain at a snails pace before coming to a complete stop.An avalanche is typically a rapid, unstoppable mass of snow that buries or destroys everything its path. I'm not getting that from this. Colours are cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancebridwell Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Keep the thin "beginning" of the avalanche, while pulling the left side of the "A" to the left, and have the curve of the avalanche line up with the second highest peak on the left side. That seems like it would make the design flow a bit better.Nice work, and with some improvements, it could be very good. I don't think, because thinking implies uncertainty. Therefore, I KNOW.

aci Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I think the whole white avalanche needs to be narrower right near the top.
