gatek99 2 Posted January 15, 2012 Love the Barons however the only think you might want to look at is the helmet. It is very boring/does not stand out with the all gray with gray logo. Amazing logo though and nice unis! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julius Seizure 36 Posted January 15, 2012 I could def. try to use something simpler with the typeface. The first idea that comes to mind are the sans-serif shadowed block numbers on old fighter planes. I'd have to find the correct ones though. I think it's just called 'military block' 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drdougfresh 690 Posted January 15, 2012 Nike catalog has shadowed block like that. Used it on my John Deere concept haha. Good place to check! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbannon92 280 Posted January 15, 2012 I think you dropped the ball a little on the Barons. The logo is very well done, as are the others, but the typeface and unis aren't doing it for me. I like your idea for the military-inspired typeface. For the uniforms, the jerseys are alright but I don't like the pants at all. I personally hate wordmarks down the side of pants, and the logo is way too small. Also, I would stick with Nike for the uniforms. If you're giving the different teams different manufacturers, that's your decision. But I just think Nike's Speed Machine template is WAY better than the TechFit. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaha32 210 Posted January 15, 2012 I am not feeling this one too much either. The logo is mostly nice, but the logo o and helmets need some red. The font is too thick, especially in that one version. Also, and this might seem nitpicky but since youre previous two designs were so good, the white outline should be touched up. The black outline around the wings also might need to looked at too. The outlines suddenly become straight near the ends of the points on the wings. If youre using illustrator, the program does that when using the outline tool, so you have to manually edit the outlines so they flow smoothly near the points. But mainly, if you add some red, it will look better. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The stroke tool makes the outlines that way. Been tooling with it to see how to make the tips curve a little better.I've had similar issues with stroking before, and I usually end up just drawing it as a path:p 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Julius Seizure 36 Posted January 17, 2012 Been tweaking the Barons logo and unis a bit. The internet connection at my apartment is non-existant for the time being. A big flux of the students on campus just got here over the weekend from Christmas break and they're eating up the wi-fi. I'm posting this at work with their ethernet, haha! I'll throw the update on as soon as I get it done! It's getting close!Stay tuned, and thanks for watching:)J. Sizzle 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julius Seizure 36 Posted January 20, 2012 Revamped Cleveland Barons, steamin' on yer chestsssss:)Hope this is much improved! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gatek99 2 Posted January 20, 2012 helmet looks a lot better with the stripes, the pants even stand out more. Much better job imo 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julius Seizure 36 Posted January 20, 2012 One of the things that's kind of amusing about the Barons, is that I've had almost the same color scheme throughout their 'existence' (they were red, GOLD, and black originally). I wasn't even thinking about the Buckeyes when I decided to re-locate them to Cleveland, so It's kind of a happy accident that they have those colors. I think it turned out great though! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Julius Seizure 36 Posted January 21, 2012 Good call on the wordmarks, everybody. I think maybe I tried a little too hard on that one at first.A 'Close Encounter' with the Vegas Invaders up next, should be up tonight!! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julius Seizure 36 Posted January 22, 2012 "Janet terminal now boarding"Here's a special game alternate complete with 'alien eyes' helmets!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbannon92 280 Posted January 22, 2012 The Invaders look awesome. The logo is really well done, and the font you chose works great. The alternate is also really sweet, especially the helmet. My only suggestion would be to make the cuffs green since you have a stripe on the helmet and pants. IMO it would help bring all three elements (helmet, jersey, pants) together. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midway 581 Posted January 22, 2012 Sweet! While I really like the idea here, the alien head on the primary logo looks a little too cartoony to me and probably wouldn't bode well compared to those of the other teams. Perhaps simplify it further and make it more menacing or go the ufo route. It just seems like I've seen this kind of logo on Madden's create-a-team mode 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaha32 210 Posted January 22, 2012 A unique color scheme, but it works. I like the away jersey set, but on the home jerseys, its just seems like an aweful lot of gray. I rarely like the all one color home uniform look. A green top or white pants would look nice IMO. Overall another clean looking team. The logo is cartoony like Midway said, but it seems appropriate for a team with an alien theme. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
