mbannon92 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Amazing job Mockba! Everything about this is great... the colors, both font choices, the state motto, the layout, the subtle soccer ball. This is why teams need to come here to get new logos!!!

-kj Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Non. (No, really, I don't; it's the state motto.) Thank you, everyone. I'm really honored that I got to put my stamp on the identity of not only a professional team, but one that I follow very closely. The feedback at the event was very positive, and it looked like quite a few people bought merch. This was roughly a six-month process; it was slow at first, but ramped up towards the end of the season. Here's a sample of some of the stops on the journey: Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

"L'Etoile du Nord" actually means "The North Star" but you probably already knew that.Now that I see the entire set, the Stars literally have a better set than most MLS teams (curse you NE Revolution and your out-of-date logos!).

Shmee Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Glad I can stop playing dumb now. You really knocked it out of the park, homie. Glad you're getting all the positive feedback that you deserve. This really is a top notch identity, and I'm glad you didn't listen to me when I insisted on the roundel. I think the final product is phenomenal! Â Â The world's foremost practitioners of professional tag-team wrestling. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty big upgrade over what they had before. Love the fact that you kept the basic look of the old Star logo as a central element, yet the additions (such as the state motto) really work to improve it as well. Great job, and congratulations!

knnhrvy16 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 That's a fantastic crest Mockba! The colors are great and I love the update of the identity. Really, really sharp work. Congratulations! The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

OnWis97 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 That's really nice. I can't say much that the others have not said. My favorite feature is, as someone else put it, the "subtle" soccer ball.

topcityhockey Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 This is an amazing crest. Very well balanced and love the use of the blue and yellow. I don't have much soccer/football stuff but I may have to add some Minnesota Stars memorabilia to my collection. Great job and I can't wait to see it on a kit.
