MDC Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Yeah, so...... I was thinking of starting a "minor league" basketball series. Like a D-league sort of thing, but with all new teams. I made a league logo, which I could post as well. I'll expand on the idea if you guys are interested. This was the first logo I made, for a team called the Columbus Ghosts.

drdougfresh Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Needs to be angrier.I agree. It's a little bit too friendly looking. Good start though, I'm definitely interested in seeing this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 You know what I actually really like this! for the sake of being different, my vote is for leaving the face like it is, reminds me of a throwback logo from the 60's. I'd vote on integrating some light blue/grey, and adding some accents to the ball to create motion. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

nash61 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I agree with the "leave the face alone" sentiment. Only change I would make would be to either make it white, or seriously lighten the purple. Purple and white would be a FANTASTIC colour scheme.

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.

undead Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I say keep it just like it is. It has a cool retro feel to it and a refreshing change from what's expected. Portfoliobobschultz6' class="bbc_url">@bobschultz6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxColonels Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 if i was going to do anything to it, i'd work the bottom and give it the feel of more speed.I'm not sure it even needs that. The flow of the bottom of the ghost implies the forward motion of the ghost. I like that it doesn't have any motion lines. It makes for a much cleaner logo.

MDC Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Alrighty, well, that is some seriously indecisive advice. So......I'm really at a loss here. I could play around with the mouth, but I was definitely not trying to make it look aggressive and intimidating, and I don't really know why a lot of people assume it should be. I played with some 'motion lines' and they really cluttered things up. I liked how it looked with only these lines. So I guess I might make some uniforms and then maybe post the next team.

Funkatron101 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 If anything, I think you should fix the ball a little. It doesn't look like a perfect circle to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
