raysox Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Alright, you guys.So you probably haven't heard, unless you stalk my posts that I made up a sport that has a cult following with friends in the area. The sport is called yakball, check it out. Here's our website with all the good stuff http://yakball.webs.com/Basically, it's a 4 on 4 game. You have to pass the ball twice, before you can throw the ball into the box on the wall. Each team has 1 Center, who acts like a goalie on defense. Since it is set up like a half court basketball game, when their team is on offence, they can get the ball and score. It could be easier reading the rules, and watching the video, but that's the basic stuff.I wanted to make some logos, and figured this would be a good way to make some logos. Basically, my idea was have a FIFA type association. One name, then have leagues in different countries. Not sure how deep this will go, but I feel like it will be better than my UHL concepts, which I became bored with fast. I have the USA started, and cities picked out in a few more countries.With the names, I wanted a mix between nicknames, and Euro-soccer type names. You'll see what I have below. The following are the leagues/teamnames/links to concepts. The cities ARE SET. DEAL WITH IT. But the blank team names can be suggested, so feel free. No stupid ones tho.DOWNLOAD THE TEMPLATE!Svg, Paint, PsdHere is the link to the official yakball fontWorld Yakball CupHere is the Google Map of teams and future locationsUnited StatesAtlanta RoversBoston YCCarolina FlyersChicago BrigadeDallas OutlawsDenver AltitudeEmpire NYCHouston SupernovasIX Counties-Bay AreaMinnesota LoggersPhiladelphia BattalionPhoenix City YCSeattle OrcasSporting Los AngelesTampa Bay TridentsWashington FederalsCanadaCalgary UnitedCentre TorontoEdmonton Barons YCExhibition TorontoHalifax ClippersYC HamiltonLondon RoyalsMaroons de MontrealOttawa 1867Patrie MontrealRapid SaskatchewanSt. John's LabradorsVancouver ReignVictoria ThunderbirdsVoyageurs du QuebecWinnipeg AggiesBritish IslesAberdeen EnergyBelfast UnitedBirmingham WorkshopYC CardiffYC DublinEdinburgh Fortress YCGlasgow NationalsHarps YCLeeds Owls YCLiverpool MarinersLondon City YCMagpies upon TyneManchester FourNottingham SheriffsSheffield UnionWembley WanderersMediterraneanAthensClub Alpino TorinoAvant LyonnaisBarcelonaBolognaBordeauxLegione RomaLisbonMadridMadridMilanParisParisPortoThessalonikiValencia @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Denver AltitudeThis name was suggested by CJWerks. I wanted a mountain themed concept for the mile high city, so I got the name and ran with it. The colors were set, because it's awesome, and the Broncos ditched them. So I felt like I owed Denver a solid. I was going to have a mountain, with a sleek snow cap, a la Nuggets. But I was looking at logos and found that a mountain that looks solid was the realistic looking mountain like the MLS All-Star game in Salt Lake City. The mile high was put all throughout this concept. The alternate logo is a 5280, which is the number of feet in a mile. I included the number on the primary logo. The alt logo is also on the field between the box line, and the 2 point line. I went for a very brown and yellow heavy set. I balanced all I could with some simple striping and piping. Some more notes. The best angle to see games is from where the bottom of the field is. So if a camera would be set up there, the sponsors, logos, and arena logo would be shown. So the concepts have a custom court design, if you will. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillyphan63 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 This is pretty cool I remember the first thread you made about this sport can't wait to see more. The altitude logo is solid and the name is very creative. Do you plan and making jerseys for this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yeah, I think eventually. I'm just focusing on the logos mainly. Every logo I do, I try to get better. I mean, these could be for soccer really. That, and I'm just pimping my sport, ahah. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDynamo Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 For Houston, I think of the space program, so I propose Houston Giants like a giant star. Also, that "5280" secondary logo is killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysox Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 I actually really like IX Bay Area.Boston Yakball ClubI wanted to have Boston have a team similar to the Celtics. I really like that green color, and it would work nicely because they would also play at the Garden. I just couldn't come up with a name similar to Celtics. I wanted a name for an Irish person, similar to the Canucks. Looking at some old concepts, I had a logo for a team called FC Miami Flamingos, with a circle and the same effect. I like what I had, so I put it in green and white. I wanted simplicity throughout. A simple font, a simple alt, and a matching script.This set was based off of the logo, and inspired from Blackburn's half and half set. It's something different that would be unique in my league. The clash is black to be different from the home, and I thought the green and white pop on the black. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody21 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 for Tampa Bay, may i suggest the Blues, Spurs and Reds as names? those names could work for other teams as well. i like tbe sound of dallas reds and loas angeles spurs. In the last game against Detroit, the time from ten minutes left to one minute left was probably the longest nine minutes of my life. But from one to zero was probably the greatest time I've ever had. I didn't want the clock to run out. It was such a great feeling: people crying in the stands, people jumping up and down, people cheering. Guys couldn't even sit up on the bench. It was probably the best minute of my life.Ah, the "I'm kidding" - the universal internet excuse for saying something that others perceived as dumb.

JDynamo Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think the split coloring on the circles of the primary logo is really striking and interesting, a strong brand for the team. I also like the use of the shamrock on the field, as well as the use of the secondary YBC logo within the circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieRose Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Love that Boston primary crest. Might suggest replacing the black with that dark green you used for the presentation background. Other than that I like the simplicity, and the contrasting half circles.And for names, I've got a couple in mind:Empire NYCLos Angeles StarsTampa Bay Tropics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missouri tigers Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Great job so far! The Altitude's identity is very nicely done. The rendering of the mountain range is fantastic, and I love the nod to the city's "mile high" nickname.Boston's is really nice too. The logos are pretty simple and basic but I think it definitely works in this instance. Keep at it, man! I can't wait to see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Chicago BrigadeOriginally, I planned on Tampa having a fire-themed name. Tampa means fire sticks in the Calusa language. But the Great Chicago Fire is more understood, i guess! That, and I thought of a cool name. So I wanted to play off the Fireman theme with this one. I originally had the Fire's crest, but modified it, even though it's similar. I put the 4 Chicago stars from the flag on the bottom part, and arched CHICAGO on the top. I felt like the OKC Thunder font worked well here. THe alternate logo is a helmet and hatchet, to add to the theme. I might work on the hatchet, I think that logo might need some work.I just did a modern set for this team, and tried a few things. I did the front yellow chest part first, and was going to put a sponsor on it. But I thought some stars would look better. I put numbers above them for balance. Really, I just threw it together, but I like the final product!I'm almost done with IX Counties. Here is a sneak peak. But Carolina is next, I think. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelayedPenalty Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 COOL!Great C&C...I love everything you've done so far raysox. Denver is spot on. I love the 5280 logo and the primary crest is superb. Boston is just as it should be, simple and class. I think the BYC logo might be a little bit too simple though, it's missing something, but I can't quite figure out what.Chicago's secondary logo is amazing, I love it. The primary is great, but I feel like the script is too bland to be used as a standalone.Keep up the great work with the concepts, as well as the development of the sport! Great to see truly original ideas flowing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Ah thanks you guys!Skipping Carolina, because I was so excited about this oneIX Counties YakballSuggested by Burmy, the team based in the Bay Area will be known as IX Counties. There are 9 counties that is considered the "Bay Area" in California. I originally had them in San Jose, but with a name like this, I thought they could also play at the Oracle Arena in Oakland. Which brings me to another point, why doesn't San Fran have a decent arena? The idea was to have Sharks teal, Niners gold, and Raiders black. Then I thought a Lightning/Wings/Leafs type concept is needed. I thought that I haven't seen a orange/white team like this, so the decision was easy. I made a crest, and had the Golden Gate Bridge. I wanted simplicity, and there wasn't a great opportunity for an alternate logo. But simplicity was what I wanted.I wanted to try some stuff Nike would use, with chevrons running down the front. IX Counties only uses orange and white, so the orange had to pop, with a nice contrast. The same pattern is on the pants stripe, too.Working on more logos too! @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been hoping for a Chicago team named the Brigade for a long time. I actually suggested the name for the name-the-team contest when the ECHL went to Chicago. The logos are top notch.

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.
