missouri tigers Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Not really much I can say about it. It's just a generic all purpose sports logo I came up with, and figured I'd share...C&C welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdougfresh Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I dig it. Everything looks good, sans the head. Something is funky about that eye and the way the head is shaped. I wish I could find a better way to put it... it just doesn't flow as well as the rest of the shark. I think the area around the eye, and the eye itself should be looked at.

Vicious Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 The only real problem I see is with his tail and his top fin. right now it looks like his top fin is going behind his tail. I think you need to either try extending the point on the fin, or try separating the tail and the fin so they are their own shapes, and dont blend into each other. other than that, looks good.

missouri tigers Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 I tried to fix the areas in question, and a couple of other features too. Thanks for the help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I think it looks pretty solid and I like the color scheme. One thing I noticed is that the white highlights on the top fin and tail are barely noticeable, so I would make them the size of the left fin, or just get rid of them. Really good job though. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Like chickenfish said, the highlights do get a little bit lost. I think in addition to making the one on the dorsal fin a little larger, it might not hurt to darken the gold color just a bit to make the highlights stand out...nothing drastic, just slightly. My only other nitpick is the thickness of the detail around the eye. I think if you match those to the thickness of the rest of the details, it might help the line quality in the eye region.Really, really solid work here.

drdougfresh Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Much betta. I think the lines were just a bit too thick around the eye area. I like where this is headed... if it's headed anywhere haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 If you didn't tell me it was a hammerhead, I would have to stare at it for a while to figure it out. The strokes are way too thick, especially around the head. The curving and center point in the head doesn't look natural to me - at least not from any picture of a hammerhead I've seen. Also, the eye doesn't look much like an eye - just a hole. The fin on the viewer's left side doesn't look to be in the same position as the one on the right, and looks odd next to the main dorsal fin - like it's duplicated or something. The strokes are also really making the rear dorsal fin (not sure if that's what it's actually called) look odd.There are too many odd "cut outs" in this one, and while I like logos that aren't too realistic and literal, this is too much on the opposite side of that IMO.

Funkatron101 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I agree with BringBackTheVet. It took me a while to figure this logo out, even though I knew what it was. While I think there are some issues with the head that needs to be addressed, it was the back end that really confused me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altosax29b Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 The main problem is the head, you should see it and immediately know that it's his head, which you can't do right now. Something is off about it. Everything else looks sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeFrank Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Try elongating the body to give it more of a distinctive shape. Right now it's hard to tell that it's a shark. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregmond Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I thought the same thing as BringBackTheVet and Funkatron in that it took me a few seconds to realise what I was looking it. I find this logo too abstract, perhaps because of all of the maroon cut-outs?! Thanks to Gobbi for the awesome buttons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaha32 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I had no problem distinguishing that this was a hammerhead. It seemed quite obvious, but the fact that so many others arent seeing the hammerhead very easily means it should be changed. The fact that the tail just kind of sharply turns rather than flowing smoothly makes the shark look kind of stationary rather than swift. I personally really like this for the most part, but if the tail wasnt so covered up by the front of the shark, it might help.

I agree that the sharp bend in the body hides the tail - elongate that area and make the bend more of an arc. The eye on the hammerhead could be narrowed a bit.I really like the colors you used - great combination and very distinctive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Adam, you're really close to having an A1 logo here.I would extend the shark's right eye out a little more.It would emphasize the hammerhead element and would make its face more symmetrical.You only need the very tip of the creature's right fin showing.It should be hidden more behind the body.And yeah, extend the tail back and away from the top fin.A few tweaks and it'll be perfect. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
