GriffinM6 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I've been thinking of trying to make real logos recently and I decided to use a team with simple logos as my first try.I will hopefully have the computer drawn ones by late monday or early tuesday. I'm not the best drawer, so it's not perfect but pretty neat.Texans Rebrand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Psst! Check your spelling of "Houston" in the thread title.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. 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.

chickenfish13 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I think the HT logo is a pretty good start. What I would try is instead of having the T underneath the crossbar of the H, why not just make the top line of the T the crossbar of the H? Hopefully that makes sense. I would look at that, and than drop the horns of the H and just leave them on the T, because it's looking a little top heavy right now. Good start though! dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget799 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 The H in the star looks a tad to much like the Cowboys logo. Can't see Dallas being too pleased with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 The H in the star looks a tad to much like the Cowboys logo. Can't see Dallas being too pleased with that.There is distinction though. Dallas' is just a star while Houston's is a star with horns and an "H" i nthe middle.

DCDuck Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 The H-star is a bit too reminiscent of the old Houston Astros logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas' is just a star while Houston's is a star with horns and an "H" i nthe middle.While you're right there is a difference between the two I dont think it's distinct enough to be called a distinction. Dallas pretty much own stars in football and there's no real way round that. I think what's needed is something boldly different, especially when the two teams are so close to each other geographically you want as big a difference aesthetically as you can get so there is no confusion whatsoever. With the logo you've created right now people may get the impression that the Houston franchise is a minor league or feeder team for Dallas because they have the star on thier helmet but it's just been modified slightly.The wordmark and the alternate have the potential to be pretty strong marks with a bit of refinement, but I think in order to give/keep Houstons identity unique I'd look at losing the star from the primary.9erssteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnythingChicago Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I really think this is going somewhere. You should try to trace these onto a computer and trace them somehow.As for the drawing, I think you should do what chickenfish13 suggested.

The "H" looked like it had arms. And I made a bull head for the primary, I will have those pics up tommorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Here are the logos. I have a poll for which color scheme is best. I will make uniforms when you guys vote on the best color scheme.Texans Rebrand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckDownfield Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 You don't need a poll for the color scheme, you can pick it yourself. All the poll is going to do is bump the thread, and make people mad.As for the concept, it's not bad, but uninspired. I like the monogram logo, but the primary really needs to go. Besides being similar to Dallas, it's a bit boring. Try the bull head idea someone mentioned. I like the effort you're putting into this though, keep at it!

AnythingChicago Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 How about giving brown and rust orange a try? Right now, navy and red looks best.I'd like to see what you can do with the uniforms; you have a very good start with the logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHcreative Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 You've got something going with the 'HT' Logo, I think the H-star looks too much like the Cowboys logo with an H and horns on it. That being said, AnythingChicago's idea of a brown/rust orange scheme is pretty good. I've also seen some pretty good Texans concepts with a brown/tan scheme.

drdougfresh Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I actually love what they currently have-- but my biggest issue is with the color scheme. Too similar to Dallas-- and half the NFL (two primaries and white). I would explore the brown/rust combo as well, as it may help separate them from Dallas a bit more-- though I agree, anything with a star and football is the Dallas Cowboys to me. I would stay away from that as much as possible.My basic issue with the schemes you have right now are this: they aren't regionally specific. Brown/rust says Texas-- purple and yellow says LA Lakers or LSU. I hope that makes sense, basically I would stick with natural tones and "Texas" colors, it can really make this an interesting logo.

mbannon92 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 The helmet logo looks like a cat...back to the drawing board IMO. Try finding a picture or clipart of a bull head on Google, and go from there.
