winghaz Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 This is absolutely fantastic, regardless of which N you use.But I'm like a lot in here in that I didn't see the state of Nevada at first. When I saw it, I went, "WOW!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysox Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Damn you! I drew that logo like 6 months ago and never got around to finishing the concept.Keep working on it though, ones with serifs look better. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Wow. Great idea. I never would have thought of that. I'd say #4 but with serifs. Athletic Director: KTU Blue Grassers Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottysprings Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I actually prefer it sans serifs- I feel like they make the letterform look unbalanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to get back into using Illustrator for concepts, but the computer I'm running on currently doesn't have quite the firepower.I really can't decide whether sans-serif or with serifs looks better. Really appreciate the feedback though, keep it coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 It has to have serifs. That's been a big distinguishing feature of Nevada's N for quite awhile now.

It should be about half as long as the diagonal border.Not being from the US I'm not totally up on the shape of all the states, but with that said, whether geographically accurate or not I'd increase the size of the "bump" for want of a better phrase at the bottom a little. I'd do it for a few reasons, it'll aid readability from a distance or when the logo is reduced down, and it will also speed up recognition that the negative space is an integral part of the design. Like I said I know little about the shape of all the states, but the shape change was so minimal that at first I put it down to error or glitch. You have to consider that when placed on helmets the logo could get nicked up a bit and you want to be able distinguish whats deliberate from what's damage.It's a clever idea and I really like it, but think you need to be slightly more aggressive in it's application even it means playing a little fast and loose with geographical accuracies. This is after all a logo not an atlas. Hope you update this some more as I think it's a strong idea.9erssteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hope you don't mind me cleaning this up a little--I think the gray outline should also have that little bump so that the white negative space is still looks like Nevada. Im a fan of this with serifs on the outsides. Also, maybe a thin white gray line that goes half way across the top would give the top a hint of the state border. But all in all, it's a clever idea you have here. DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DL Watt Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Its good... nice and simple. Trying to think of any other states that can actually do that so cleanly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 OK, this is really weird. But I put my laptop on the couch next to me, and the screen was to my left and sideways. I glanced over at the logo, and the blue and silver APPEARED REVERSED. The blue was the outline and the silver was the inside. (It actually looked quite cool.)So I called up the current Nevada logo, on the Chris Creamer library, and IT TOO APPEARED REVERSED. Again, the blue was the outline and the silver was the inside. (This looked even cooler than the concept.)So I tried this with other logos to see what was the deal, and none of the logos I called up worked that way. I tried all sorts of logos, but no deal.Can anyone explain this, other than I'm going bonkers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
