tj4eck Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Ok I'd like to first off give a huge thanks to Bmac.I had an extremely rough draft thrown together on MS Paint and he cam threw cleaned it up and made it presentable.On to the concept...When I heard of the Islanders plans to move to Brooklyn, I came to the conclusion that they needed an upgrade. A makeover. Here are some of the thoughts that went into the concept:With the Nets moving into Brooklyn and getting a new look, I figured the Islanders deserved to as well.I wanted color. Don't get me wrong I like the Black and White combo for the Nets. I find it crisp and clean. I just didn't think two teams in the same area needed the same scheme (both on rebrands).I disliked the old color combos. The 95-96 "Gorton's Fisherman" logo scheme of Teal/Orange/Navy, just no. Orange and Blue is a good combo, don't get me wrong I'm just tired of seeing it. (See: Oilers, Mets, DET Tigers, Auburn Tigers, CHI Bears, Thunder, Bobcats, Knicks etc...you get the point)I love the combo of Blue/Green/Yellow, I find that the colors really POP and they meld together really crisply.As far as a logo I love the shape of Long Island and really wanted to brand the team as the Islanders, hence the island.I'd love to some how incorporate the Brooklyn Bridge in to another logo, but I lack the skill-set to pull this off.I originally did the colored jersey and loved the striping Green/Blue/Yellow/Blue/Green and decided it was too good to mess with and kept it on the white, but for continuity I kept the blue on either side of the striping.The concept:I'd love to hear some feedback on these.Once again a huge thank you to Bmac!

Kevin W. Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The island alone is not a good logo. It needs something with it. At least add a wordmark or something.What's the reasoning behind the color scheme? Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Island looks like a smear of paint. Needs a distinct crest. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

The_Admiral Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 It looks kind of like a phosphorescent turd.Try that color scheme for the Tampa Bay Rays, though. It's very vivid, almost tropical (probably because it reminds one of Brazil). Ocean blue, solar yellow, and a nice lush green. Doesn't really work for the Isles, though, who use blue and orange because their identity is solely about being from New York. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I absoloutely love the color scheme. I agree that the island doesn't make a good logo on its own...looks like a splash of paint from a distance.Still, far better than the outcome if they go the boring Brooklyn Nets route.

Xodius Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Use the same font as the "Islanders" for the "BKLYN" and then you really have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFight Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Try adding either "Brooklyn" above the island. You could make a new "Brooklyn islanders" logo that has the bridge, and then have the Island as a sleeve logo or vice-versa but try adding some font above it and it will look more unified.

illwauk Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Good adaptation! The only thing I'd change is making it so the I lines up with where the Barclays Center is, like so.(Not my work, BTW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seancarter Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 may be they will take on the name of Brooklyn Americans moniker after big move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 The Brooklyn Americans never played in Brooklyn. Also, they were a miserable failure, even more so than the Isles have been for the last twenty years. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodsman Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Its not bad, everything about the logo has already been said. I like the a blue/green/yellow color scheme.... just not with the shades you have. I think you should try shades a bit more like the Mighty Ducks from the first movie. They seemed to pull it off a little bit better. Really though I dont think the color needs to change, but hey its your concept so make them pink for all I care haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrgross25 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I like the jersey design. Although I don't like the colors or the logos. Fix that and it would be a whole lot better, in my opinion. NHLUMD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
