rtrich11 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Sorry for the delay in postings or the fact that the images were removed. It was a bandwidth issue on my web host. Anyway, I cleaned up the two most popular Browns logos. Since there is no client steering this, I don't have to pick, do I?The first one I'm posting is the shield, derived from Cleveland's own flag. I changed the top a bit. I like the Cleveland at the bottom, but with this typeface I don't know if it's strong enough. To pick another it would have to be a really bold version of the same font or an altogether different looking font, like a script, perhaps. I'd like to know what y'all think on that.Second one is the C. This was actually harder than it looks to get the line weights in a readable harmony. I went with the drop shadow version just because it adds more interest and a little bit more of the color brown. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I really like that C Tom. But you don't need to have drop shadow or that extra grey outline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midway Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm not a fan of drop shadows but I find that it works so well here with the block C, and doesn't just leave it as a redundant standalone block letter. This is definitely a logo I can see Cleveland fans embracing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfficialBailey7 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Personally I think it doesn't need a brown outline at all. The white outline is good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeFrank Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Yea I agree lose the drop shadow or the outline all together and your good. If you really want to have a shield kind of shape I'd try to get rid of the "banner" idea that you have. Just something... different. It doesn't say BROWNS. CLEVELAND. FOOTBALL.

raysfan24 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Lose the drop shadow in the C and you have a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Alright you drop shadow dislikers, (I don't wanna call you haters) here's a side-by-side to compare. No, it's not bad, just less brown. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midway Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 The drop shadow C has character. The one without it looks like something generic you'd find in teambuilder tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north dakota Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I agree with Midway, I like the drop shadow C better. Woah! You think I'm Cody? My name is Carl Scott Simone and we just happen to share a birthday. BIG DEAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj4eck Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 No-go on the drop shadow, i think it takes away from the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I like the drop shadow. Back in the 40s or 50s, the Browns had drop-shadowed numbers on their uniforms. So I think it's fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Ordinarily I'd be against a drop shadow, but in this case, it gives the logo weight. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugevolsfan Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I am a hater of drop shadows but this looks good both ways but see no major upgrade with the drop shadow.I do like this as a logo & if I were the browns I would adopt this a primary immediately instead of the helmet logo which looks lame compared the the rest of the league.

WSU151 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I like it much better without the drop shadow. Especially for a pro team. In fact, the more I look at it, it's not even close. People can say it looks like something that's on Teambuilder...but look at the Browns uniforms. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

YessSir32 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I would center the script on 3C, but that's just me. 4C is great as well. Great job! Detroit Falcons (NABL) | Detroit Gears (UFL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaha32 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Jaha (John Hahn), I will try that version of the C with no drop shadow. It was mentioned a time or two in the thread before you did. One thing I was wondering about it how you felt about the line weights on my C designs, especially 1C. The thicker, bolder I got with them, the more it started to look like a block on a dark background. Well, I'll probably just post a few versions to show.Sorry about the late reply (and no it's not John Hahn, but good guess and you got the last name right!).Your latest version without the drop shadow looks great. I'm still not a fan of the dropshadow for a team as old-school as the Browns, even though it seems lots of those who posted earlier do like the drop-shadowed version. Sure, it is not flashy with no dropshadow, but a dropshadow makes it look as if the basic C is trying too hard, when this is the Browns. The Cleveland Browns. They don't do flashy. They do plain as well as anyone and should keep it that way. So if they ever were to adopt any logo, your C with NO drop shadow is just the right amount of classy, and plain, to work for the Browns... and over the years as fans got exposed to it, it would have the potential to become as instantly recognizable as the Packers G.

rtrich11 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 I haven't touched this stuff in a while, but in the meantime I decided that the C without the drop shadow was the one I liked best. (Collective whew!)I put it on some merch, including a women's t-shirt where they normally would have the football-shaped logo. One logo is better than a men's and women's separate logos. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
