vazquez Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I was sitting reading some posts on here and noticed the ABC logo concept, and I began to think of other TV Brands that could use a refresh, and the first to pop in my head was ESPN. I tried to keep the logo close to the current, while also giving a current flare. The wording under ESPN is Banda Typeface.*note, ESPN logo is not a type, is circles and lines and the stroke tool This isnt a huge project and is just something I whipped up for fun, C&C Welcome.

drdougfresh Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 The E is the signature of ESPN's current brand. You kept it and updated it. I dig it, nice work! The current logo is getting pretty dated, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 wonderful job. You took a logo everyone recognizes and kept the elements that make it iconic while updating it. You forgot the logo for ESPN 8......the Ocho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goforbroke Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 its really nice but i think the "N" neems a lttle disconmnected - well litterally actually haha. the other letters are one continuous line. idk how ud fix that, even a lowercase N like in the current logo wouldnt do the trick. The design is great and everything but i keep staring at that N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The design is great and everything but i keep staring at that N.Yeah the N is actually the trickiest part, I felt like not doing a lowercase N because I've always stared at the ESPN logo wondering why its lowercase, and I may also disconnect the E as well to make it better for the eyes, and to keep the E separate for uses.

nash61 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Since TSN and ESPN have matching logos, why not see how it would work for TSN?

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.

vazquez Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Since TSN and ESPN have matching logos, why not see how it would work for TSN?I have no clue, I may try that, currently I'm going to place a verison 2 along with an application where you most commonly could find the logo and see how that fares. I think TSN slipped my mind completely. Behance | Clothing Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutz Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I like it a lot, but the more I look at it, the more the E reminds me of Fila erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinmets Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Looks great. Would be a huge improvement over the current ESPN logos, which are quite dated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESTONES6 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 The only issue I have with this is the E, S, and P are all connected, while the N is by itself. I understand their is no fluid or logical way to connect the N. I was thinking that maybe the E, S, P being in red on a white background with the N being white on a red background square. Not sure how it would actually look, but I think it would be better than having the E, S, and P connect and then the N floating outside. The square would isolate it more.

It's a bit more symetrical and so on and so forth, but I'll just let the update talk, stay tuned. Behance | Clothing Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandMooreArt Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Goforbroke and Estone are sharp. the E is lacking and i would blend their suggestions. make the 'N' lower case so it all has a nice horizontal flow AND highlight it with a circle behind it. i say circle, because its mostly made up of rectangles, long and flat, and the contrast of a circle would do wonders for it. make the letters a bit thicker too. remember, legibility at very small scale GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the sign for a coffee shop or an expensive beverage.I agree that their current logo is starting to look dated, but I think it has plenty of years left in it. It's just so recognizable, with the bold italics, and just the way it looks at a glance. WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
