deked73 Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 For my old high school in Melrose Park, Illinoisnew version Was messing around with this today and an image of the original design i did a few years back.original version more stuff coming soon alternate logos and wordmarks. comments and ideas more than welcome.
Raymie Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 The wordmark feels too crowded and busy with its strokes. You considered making the text one color on a background, maybe arched?

deked73 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Posted April 2, 2012 updatearched Walther, changed Bronco font and dropped outlines
9erssteve Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Word mark is much better now, but still feel the line thickness on the Bronco is far to thin and that the shadow under the jaw/cheek needs work or dropping entirely as right now its just... there... and not really adding anything to the piece.Love the shape of the Bronco though, but just strengthen it up with thicker lines and you're all good if you ask me.9erssteve
deked73 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 Thanks for the comments. the mark under the jaw is there cause I hid put the intials for the school in the neck. I really wanted this to be a Walther logo that was really just theirs. I have the intentions to sending this the school in the near future. So, thanks again for the critiques and I would be more than happy for more and any ideas to improve my works.
slapshot Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 The fonts don't go together at all...one's a traditional-looking slab serif, the other is a weird spikey-serif. If mixing fonts, I would make one sans serif.Also, you need to kern your wordmark. Too much space between the W and A. Looks like you just typed it out and left it that way, which is very lazy for a designer. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016
leggman01 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 the logo is really nice...the wordmark, not so much...very amatuerish
deked73 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 yeah i was using photoshop elements 10 I am learning how to do stuff in it like spacing. I am still learning inkscape and I wasn't getting the arch the way I wanted to go. Still tryin so I hope to have an improved one soon.edit* watched a few youtube tutorials and got some ideas down for wordmarksLet me know what ya think
slapshot Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I think you're emphasizing the wrong things. Is it the Walther Broncos Lutheran? You wouldn't see BRIGHAM Young COUGARS.If the name of the school is Walther Lutheran, keep those the same type treatment and make the nickname (Broncos) the different font.

chuckymack Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Getting warmer, but I think it should all be straight. No arching. Sigs are for sissies.
deked73 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 change to wordmark again. Still workin on the adjustments to the logo gonna finish it soon.
