CAB Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 The H in your "CHI" looks too much like an X. Even if it didn't, I don't think your hidden letters work here, they just look too forced. I actually wouldn't go with a paw. I'm no expert on bears, but this just doesn't really look like a bear claw to me. I think your best bet here would be to just go with the cub head.

Here's my Cubs concept:I standardized the current Cubs logo which I think is classic. It's as classing as the Dodgers. I outlined the Cubs logo itself in Red and outlined "Cubs" in blue. I wanted to give it more depth, but at the same time keep it classic and recognizable. The alternate logo is a combination of my two favorite elements of "cub face" logos. The 1994-1996 logo is my favorite logo for the Cubs. but the face is awful IMO. The 1979-1993 logo has the best facial features. I combined them and woo-lah! Great originality eh? The home script is the same deal we have today. I got rid of that god awful slanted road script in favor of the 1958-1968 road script. There are no patches on the jerseys except for the once-a-year jersey. That patch is the alternate logo. There are red bills on the home caps and a blue bill on the road cap. Home jersey is the same. Road jersey is mostly blue-white. Home alternates are a vest option and a simple, full-color blue jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Nothing wrong with the concept, I just don't understand why the blue Chicago alt is a "once a year" alt. It's not like the Cubs regular road set is sacred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 The away needs a number on the front. Too much negative space. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesfan16 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Nothing big. I changed the perspective of the Marlin, incorporated the colors into the scripts, and made uniforms out of them. I don't know what to include as a shoulder patch.I will make an predominantly orange version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Try not to make the dominant colour black. Add some orange/blue to the cap, and add a coloured alternate. Also, having two Marlins on the font looks too crowded. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that making all of the color accents work best with the black. It would get a little crazy otherwise I would imagine. Thanks for the comment though.

Thanks for the comment though.At least use one for piping and/or in the hat (not fully, of course). Then there's the alternate jersey option. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

north dakota Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'm not a fan of that second marlin in the Miami script, I think it's unnecessary. Woah! You think I'm Cody? My name is Carl Scott Simone and we just happen to share a birthday. BIG DEAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesfan16 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Alright thanks guys. More colors and less Marlin. I really want to whip an alternate logo for a shoulder patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Didn't see this until now.. honestly not a fan of the Marlins concept. But it's not your fault. The new logos are simply ugly and will never look good on a baseball uniform. I feel like this Marlins concept was more so what you think they will look like as opposed to what would look good for the Marlins.However the rest of your work has been great and I really hope you keep this series going!

piratesfan16 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 I'm back! Another case of artist's(artist...yeah right pffttt.) block, but I finally willed myself up to making a brand new template. Thanks to missouritigers for the hat template. It looks absolutely awesome.The Milwaukee Brewers are a team that looks great, but there are a few tweaks that I think they should have. The primary logo is bad. I don't know what I was thinking. It's an old concept that I made, but I revised it. What it's supposed to be is a a baseball hitting of barrel of beer and having the beer flow out of the hole. Except it's not a barrel, it's Wisconsin. Go figure. It serves as the shoulder patch for all of the jerseys. The secondary logo is an updated version of their current cap logo. More gold and white. The scripts took a long time for me to render in Paint. I also had to add another outline on the Milwaukee script in order to keep them consistent, so that took a while. What I wanted to do was add more dimension to the scripts. This is in direct contrast to my original idea of making them all one-dimensional. I didn't want to rip off Fox's idea, so I did the opposite and added more depth. The jerseys are a little strange and out of the box. The first thing you probably notice is the wheat/barley piping. I thought that it looked okay, so I added it to be a little unique. The scripts have more gold(The only team that I can stand using the dullest shade of gold in the world, is the Brewers). The #1 home alternate is the same script with navy pinstripes. The two navy alternates have more gold in the lettering than they do in real life. The piping is the same down the pants. I might be regretting this now because it looks like snakeskin. I'll leave that for you to judge. Gold numbers/blue outline on the front for all jerseys. C&C is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Fox Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I like the updated template. IMO the pinstriped home alt could be dropped. Nice set though, good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I'm not much a fan of the scripts and such, but dang that sleeve piping design is brrilliant! I can't believe I haven't seen that before, very clever. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 The wheat stripes are a brilliant idea. Though that logo looks like a snowcone where the cone is melting. I'd just put a barrel there or a baseball on a barrel (keeping Wisconsin, of course). Or your other idea, where the baseball i shooting out of the barrel. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
