mbannon92 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Thanks, I'll try to post a larger view of the uniforms. The color's not really hot pink. I mean, it's close but it's more of a bright red. I wanted to have a more vibrant color to 1) fit it with a Mexican theme, and 2) seperate from most red and black devil teams.Not to come off as whiny, but doesn't anybody have some comments at all? It's disappointing when something like that troll's Lightning "concept" get's five pages because people don't know enough to just ignore it. Making threads like mine that have time and effort put into them get pushed to the second page very quickly. I don't get. It gets to the point where I almost don't want to post anything here, because I only get like 2 or 3 comments for each concept. I still will post stuff, it's just not a whole lot of fun when you don't get feedback on your work./end rant.Also thanks to people that consistently try to give honest C&C, like CJworks, mbannon92, and others.I'm seeing pink, but it may just be my screen.And I'm totally with you on the rant. I feel the same way. I posted 3 teams in my college football thread and have gotten 3 comments giving C&C, and I've had to bump it 2 or 3 times. It's really annoying when 5 minute fill tool concepts get 10 times the comments well-thought-out concepts get.

Funkatron101 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I really like that first Diablos logo. It's different and more striking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hmmm, I'm not liking the color scheme. It can work if you do it right, but here isn't that good of look. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I like the devil head but I agree that the sade of red is a little too much on the pink side. As far as the cap logo, I'm not seeing a distinct "E" and "P" - it's more like I see the pitchfork with a vertical line behind it and some strange angled line between the tips of the fork. I would try to make that a much more obvious interlocking "EP".But GREAT work on the designs overall. Being from Louisiana, I LOVE what you're done with Shreveport. I liked the dragon with the wings but having the "S" dragon to go on the caps is genius. Is that a font you used for the Swampdragons workdmarks or is a complete custom creation on your part?

CAB Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 I took a short break from this to work on something for the NCAA concept tournament (everybody join! ), but I'm back. I'm sure you were all on the edge of your seat. Anywho, this next team is the Wichita Wings. They are currently the Wingnuts; and while I don't think their identity is terrible, I wanted to change it up a bit. I researched, a.k.a. Googled Wichita and found out that they claim to be the Air Capital of the World. So to me, the obvious choice was to go with something air-related. So I chose the Wings. I could have any number of meanings. Perhaps the wings of an airplane, or those of a bird; doesn't matter to me. That's why I went with a relatively simple identity. Just a winged W, so as not to lean to one meaning or the other. With having such simple logos, I figured a simple color scheme would work as well. Seeing as I don't really have any 1 color and white teams, I thought this was the perfect opportunity. The primary logo is the winged W in a shield with a baseball, beneath the the team name. The rest of the logos are pretty self-explanatory. Like I said, I wanted these to be simple. The uniforms are simple as well, with a 2 stripe pattern throughout. The stripes are cut off on the sleeves and pants to kinda go with the shape of the wings on the cap logo. And that's all. Check 'em out and tell me what you think! I'm most likely changing the names for all of the final 4 teams-- Amarillo, Fort Worth, Gary, and Kansas City. So any suggestions are welcome.

Point1 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I wouldn't include the last "feather" unless you match it with white.The wordmark also has some tail issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 I wouldn't include the last "feather" unless you match it with white.The wordmark also has some tail issues.Well I thought about not including it, but I decided to use it because I think it gives it some more depth. Like perhaps that "feather" is in the shadows. And I'm not really sure what you mean about tail issues?I forgot to mention in my last post, I updated El Paso with a darker red. Links are in the first post of the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I see a face in there. The red area under the wings on each side look like eyes and then on the primary especially, the inner part of the W and bottom of the sheild look like it could be a beak or something. I think you definitely could find a better font. One with consistent letter sizes rather than letters that are high, then low. It doesnt flow well. Maybe try arching the letters downward so they wordmark flows perfectly with the top of the shield. I like the attempt at using one color. It can be hard to pull off, but you're close.

eriqjaffe Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 While I like the Wings concept, I can't help but think of this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbannon92 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I really like the logo for the Wings, as well as the simple red and white color scheme. And I agree with the others on the font. I like the font, but I would alter it so that you don't have parts of the letter jutting above and below the rest.

CAB Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Update! I fixed the issues with the font, and removed the third "wing" from the W. jaha-- I tried switching the arc of the wordmark, but I just like my first version better. Here it is for comparison. Amarillo could possibly be up later tonight, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Overall, excellent series! The only minor gripes I have are that the Wichita Wings name is taken by the MISL indoor soccer team (of course, who watches that anymore?) and that some of the road jerseys don't have the city name on the front...(Fargo-Moorhead, Grand Prairie, Lincoln, St. Paul, etc.)Other than that, nice work!

CJworks Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Very nice update, probably your best team of the series. If anything, I'd sugget getting rid of the little notch on the left side of the A, just for consistancy's sake.Other than that, nice work.EDIT: After looking at this again, I like the style you were going for, eapecially with the baseball and shield. It looks alot like Plan B.'s stuff. I like it. Dribbble | Twitter | Facebook | Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 As of now, I'd say Amarillo has quite possible a boring identity as you can get. The Amarillo Sox. No colors, just sox. They used to be the Gold Sox; which is much better, but I'd rather do something completely new. I definitely wanted to use the color yellow (or gold for some), because of the name of the city. Amarillo is Spanish for yellow for those of you that didn't pass 4th grade. I actually made the tornado logo before I decided on a name, simply because there were a few different routes I could go with it. My original idea was Twisters or Cyclones, but I eventually decided on Dusters. What are dusters, you may ask? Well I can't give a specific definition, but I'm imagining it as some sort of dust devil. To be honest, I got the idea for a name from a high school here in Nebraska nicknamed the Dusters. With yellow being an obvious color choice to me, I decided to use brown to compliment that. Commonly found on Padres' concepts, I know people either love it or hate it, so it is what it is. I seriously decided on this color combo without even knowing that it was the same one they currently use (just Googled it a minute ago). So I guess it's meant to be. I chose a western-style font for this concept. The cap logo is just an A next to the twister. Pretty much anything looks good IMO with these colors, so I gave them pretty simple uniforms, with a lighter yellowish/sand color for the road. C&C pretty please.Fort Worth is up next, not sure how soon I'll be finished though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJworks Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I love this set. I love the color scheme and the name, but perhaps you could use sand as your third color and add some more detail into the dust devil and wordmark, maybe some beveling in the numbers and letters?Other than that, another solid concept here. Nice work. Dribbble | Twitter | Facebook | Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
