TheOldRoman Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Oh, I know. But the logo you are going off of is bad and misproportionate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Primary Mark 5 (Panther Blue background, metallic Silver):This is why you need a keyline version. The entire right half of the logo gets distorted, and the whole set of whiskers just disappear.This logo retains its integrity against black, but not blue. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

BrandMooreArt Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 i agree Gothamite, but another solution is to just never use it on blue. i doubt we wil ever see it that way, but who knows GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming they keep the same uniform design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powersurge Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Re: Powersurge, I have nothing at all against modernising the logo, and agree that is definitely a good modernisation, I was just wondering what the 'issue' was with updating the logo and otherwise not changing things.oh okay. no worries.I 'm usually not a fan of unnecessary changes either, but I'm also a proponent in making something better if you can indeed make it better. In this case I think it was a move in the right direction. I'm just wary about the unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highlight of the lowet jaw goes WAY too high up into the roof of the mouth. Unless this cat has a serious case of underjaw, there's no way that much of the bottom jaw shoukd be visible from that vantage point.2.) This is really apparent on all three versions, but most noticeable on the blue background. Take a look at the far side of the face. Whiskers come out the snout; on that side, its as if they come out the side of the cheek.Just another palm to add to the face, I guess. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I remember when this was the board that told people that artistic/creative license is a good thing when rendering animals for a logo.I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's a damn sight better than what they had. That thing was tres 90s. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire right half of the logo gets distorted, and the whole set of whiskers just disappear.This logo retains its integrity against black, but not blue.I've always thought keylines were kind of an easy way out. I always try to design logos that either work without them, or that have keylines that are more interesting than the average keyline. Maybe they only separate some of the mark, or maybe they interact with the mark in some way. Anything but the solid white line all the way around the logo. Those always make a logo stick out like a sore thumb in the context of a uniform, which I think is where a logo should be judged.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I agree with everyone else. This logo, overall, is fantastic. But, the rendering looks unfinished in the sense that there are some choppy areas that need refining. Obvious, choppy areas, that could be fixed in a jiffy. And the logo needs a keyline bad. It looks awful on the blue background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I think I mentioned it earlier, I'm sure it's been said earlier, but three variations of the logo with a keyline do exist in the logo slick: silver, white and black. However, it says they can only be used for embroidery, and thus the keyline must be recolored to match the color of the shirt or w/e it's being embroidered onto.

Gothamite Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Okay, having lived with it for a few days, I agree that the flaws are glaring, but it's still a big upgrade. Frustrating, since it's dragged down by some amateurish Illustrator work, but still an upgrade. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
