Chief. Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 After I rehabilitated the 1912 Jayhawk, seen here:I decided to go through with my plans to start a series of modernizing old logos. The classics, the never-used, the were-going-to-be-used-but-they-got-sued... all will be represented in this thread. I've been inspired by the works I've seen here (various members modernizing the Minnesota Viking, Bucco Bruce, Brownie, etc.) and I'm going to try my hand at it.First up, we have the unused Jacksonville Jaguar. I believe the story is that they were sued by Jaguar Motors for the similarities. My goal is to better distinguish it from THAT logo by incorporating Jacksonville's current identity into it. The original is above (obviously) and mine is below. Your C&C is much adored and appreciated:UPDATE3-5-11Don't know how I feel about this one. This is, of course, the TCU Horned Frog, and I love the plump little fellow. I tried not to interrupt too much of the original, but at the same time, he needs a bit of streamlining. Still, in all the smoothing out, you have to keep that spiky look. Also, I think he looks kinda "derp" with his overbite, so I gave him a pretty smile. He looks like a trouble-maker now. And I gave him littler feet, because they accentuate his fat body, which makes me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueYankee26 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 BEAUITFUL!I think the Jaguar one should be used full time (if they get through legal hurdles of looking similar to the jaguar car logo) trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC2 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Wow, this is incredible and I can't wait for moreMy only criticism, is on the back paw, you should make the curve a little less bumpy and smaller. Fast. Hard. Finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbannon92 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Beautiful. That would look 10 times better on a helmet than what they have now. Great job, and I can't wait to see more!

DeFrank Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Add a tad more green and make the whisker lines look less like... whisker lines.

altosax29b Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Not sure if you're taking requests but seeing as you're doing animals I would love to see this one reborn, especially thinking putting the modern Minnesota M on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LourdOfTheFly Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Phenominal idea. With all of the classic but poorly rendered logos on the site, I'm really suprised that this hasn't been a huge trend or undertaking before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief. Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Wow. Thanks for the comments. I'll be sifting through all your suggestions and revisiting the finished logos once I've completed the project... or, when I get sick of it. Anyway, the TCU Horned Frogs are up next, seen above.Keep the comments flowing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Don't be afraid of altering further than you have. The Kansas one is a good update, but you have further to go on TCU and JAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fkaKrock5cent Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I would add some red to the horn frog. May as well make it a school color. I think it'd help make their color scheme even more unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kansas one is a good update, but you have further to go on TCU and JAX.I think you're absolutely right. I went ahead and completed the frog, then when I posted it side-by-side with the original, I thought, "You know, it's ALMOST just a straight vectorization with slight tweaks." I have some ideas for different poses I could sketch for his body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFalcon7 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 you should really bring back the full bodied eagle logo with the current style head. (philadelphia, that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
