Enio125 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 You should make the helmet a slightly different shade of yellow so that it looks different from the beard. (Or just change the color of the helmet all together if you think it looks better.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Latest update. Removed the tongue, curved the top teeth, added lower lip shadow.-Vicious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Sorry, another edit. I re worked the shape and added some muscles. not quite sure how i feel about it. I just know that I dont want my logo to just be a floating head. -Vicious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb05 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 The two different skin tones on his right (our left) eye seems a bit unnecessary. I think the triangle/chest area is much improved. This thing is coming along nicely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Fixed the eyes, made em bigger, and gave them a better shape which gives the illusion of cheeks coming up under the eyes. removed the highlight. More cnc is needed. thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point1 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Now he just looks naked, haha. i would definitely add some hint of clothing. I'd also outline the mouth to make the teeth look more distinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 every time i update i get feedback that improves it. lets keep it going guys. improved the mouth. gives it more of an angry feel. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchey13 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 every time i update i get feedback that improves it. lets keep it going guys. improved the mouth. gives it more of an angry feel. Thoughts?The way you rendered the teeth looks strange to me. You have the bottom teeth extending around the jaw, giving it a sense of depth, and that seems to clash with the flat mouth.

CAB Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 This has been improved a lot from your first draft, but I still see some areas that could use just a little work. Looking at your close-up there, I'm seeing a lot of unneccessary detail that could be removed, yet still get the same idea across. I'm terrible at explaining this stuff so bear with me. The detail in the teeth could go, it could just be a straight line across. Very rarely will the logo be blown up big enough to see stuff like that, so it always seems more logical to me to just simplify. Another area you could simplify is the left (our left) side of his nose. The two strokes there could be combined into one. Another thing with the nose is the bottom. I think you should either have it curve straight across, or (if you want to keep the detail in the nose with the nostril, etc.) then make it more exaggerated if that makes any sense. Because IMO those small curves don't really do much. If they're gonna be there, at least make them noticeable. You could get rid of that thin gold area to the right side of the mouth. This is another example of detail that could only be seen close up, along with the eyes. Notice how small of a space there is between his pupils and his skin? You could get rid of that by making each purple eye area 2 seperate shapes, being seperated by the pupil. It feels like I'm nitpicking at a lot of tiny little areas, but I do think simplifying this a little more (particularly the face) would help. If I explained this stuff poorly then I suppose I could give visual examples of what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Don't give it horns or wings, real viking helmets had neither. I like the new snarling viking face much better, but I agree with you, there is room for even greater emphasis on the wildness aspect.I'd say give it horns. Although real vikings didnt have horns (I think that myth was started by Haggar the Horrible or maybe earlier), common misconception is that they did, and sports branding means making a logo that peopple can relate to, not something that is necessarily historically accurate. Plus the Minnesota Viking have already embraced the horns, it's their thing, so why would they abandon it now just because?Onto the design, the new updates are good because now the bottom chest area seems attached to the head, before it seemed unattached. But now you have that thick purple outline, which is good, but the lines on the face are much thinner. I'd suggest taking out some detail on the face or at least thicken up the lines to match the bottom hlaf of the logo. Also consider reducing the size of the chest because now the entire logo is very long top to bottom, try making it 2/3 head and 1/3 chest because now it seems strange for some reason being half and half.

leggman01 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 i hope you don't mind, but i took the liberty of making some quick alterations to show you what i thought would improve this...i added a line around the bottom of the mouth, made the curve of the top teeth more dramatic, removed some skin color above the eyebrow on the left side of the logo and removed a pretty large stray hair on the left side of the logo - this isn't so clean because i made the changes in paint (don't have ps on my computer right now), but i think you get the ideai would also recommend adding some purple shadow to the beard/hair to give it a bit more depth...no need to add highlights, just some more shadowi'm still not 100% sold on the bare chest, but i can't think of how i would change that this has got potential to be REALLY goodedit: missed the fact that you had already outlined the mouth...my bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeBalloonCoast Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 really like what you've done so far and the direction the logo's headed in... here are some quick thoughts (I apologize if the following has been said before, but it's late and I haven't read everyone's comments):make the eyes all white and scrap the Pac-Man eyesgive the viking some kind of armor and lose the bare chested lookI also think that it would look good if you flipped the logo horizontally, put a weapon in the viking's right arm (axe?),and either have him thrusting it into the air or being wielded across his body in the direction that he's looking.....but maybe that's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 i like it before you put the chest definition in... looked better blank altogether.without the muscles, your eye doesn't even go to the chest, so you don't notice that he's sorta naked. with the muscles, it's where your eyes automatically go, and that detracts, imo.

lightning25 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'd try removing the white from the helmet. Just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalErnst Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I think the logo is pretty flawless the way it is now, I would't change a thing.Also, don't want to hi-jack your thread here but I'm a new member to the site. Been looking around for a few weeks but just decided to register yesterday. Is there a reason why I can't start my own topics?

As for the logo, I'm not a fan of the highlight on the left cheek. It's hardly noticeable and not really needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 So I have come to the conclusion that the little triangle thing isnt going to work. if i make it shorter it conflicts with his beard. anyway, here's what Ive got:Sorry for the delay, been really busy with work. -Vicious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Impaler Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 It bothers me that it's all gold now. I feel like the helmet should be a different color and actually liked it better with the highlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
