sparkychewbarky Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Well...It's that time of year again.The GRG's are looking for a sweater/logo design for a special 1-game event.I didn't want to do a generic griffin, but rather one that would be specific to Grand Rapids.So I've decided to try and form a griffin from the letters "GR".My first attempt...Primary and secondary logos.Sweater to follow. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north dakota Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I think the "G" kind of get's lost in the primary logo. Other than that it looks great. 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...
WNDUP FX Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I think the feathers are getting lost too. It's a very solid design, but it doesn't look much like a griffin. The back feet could stand to be more defined. Behance | @scotmccormack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeh-see Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I can make out the "G" and its a very clever visual trick, but I do see where it can get lost. I agree that this is a very solid design, though. Is there a way, you think, to make the tail form the tail on your "R" and just incorporate the "G" and "R" into the wing simultaneously? Just throwing out ideas. UJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YessSir32 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I going to agree that the "G" gets easily lost, but it does get the point across. Overall, these are some great logos. Detroit Falcons (NABL) | Detroit Gears (UFL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Don't forget to perk up some ears on him. Another type of griffin that doesn't get used alot is a bird head with a liion's mane. I tried to redo that when i did the Vengeance's redesign but I never got it to look just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaha32 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 It reminds me of the Erie Bayhawks secondary logo the way the letters are arranged, but yours is better. But other than the tale, it only looks like an eagle, not a griffin. Id try to get some more lion-features in there if possible.

Vaytch Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Nice but I'd remove the stick, looks forced in there ! CM Punk Jersey - Daniel Bryan Jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 Thanks for the input guys.I hear ya. The "G" isn't clear.Too much like an eagle.Get rid of the stick.I tried a bit of a "tribal" design to the logos and sweaters.What the heck, this is just for a one-off event.So, the new primary and secondary...They're wanting a home (white) jersey only, so I tried a 'watermark' design using some elements from the logo.The wing design is very much influenced by the Oregon Ducks winged pattern. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalErnst Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 the logo is nice..but the jerseys are great THE Xtreme Fantasy Football League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I prefer your first version over your second by a longshot. I'm not sure how people weren't seeing the G, it's pretty obvious if you ask me. The first was much simpler, I saw the G and the R right away. The second version I can't tell what's going on, way too complicated IMO. I think you're best bet would be to go back to the first. Honestly, doesn't anyone else like that one better? Also, the jerseys are fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somppi Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 What does the griffin look like without the GR on it? Auburn University Alum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJworks Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I think the first version is miles ahead of your updated version, your second GR monogram looks like a coloring book maze.The wing detail you got going on in your last update looks very nice, I'd almost like to see this on your first version.Uniforms look nice, good work.

BigBubba Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Very creative and unique colour scheme. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmd9 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I agree that the first one is better. I think most of us saw the GR clearly and it was simple, and looked very cool. The second is a bit too complicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
