mcrosby Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Zambia! Zambia is next up on my african nation crest redesign list. I wanted to include a bullet shape without being too obvious, for PC reasons. I included the white stripes from the coat of arms and of course the 'copper' eagle. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The idea is there! I just think its too vertical @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Just saw this thread. I think Angola, Burkina Faso, and Cameroon are superb. Absolutely love them.Zambia... not feeling it. First off, I don't think the font works at all. Maybe make it a little less vertical, and I don't think the copper eagle is very recognizable as an eagle. Also, the white wavy stripes on the coat of arms represent Victoria Falls - by making them straight lines, it kind of takes away the meaning.

mcrosby Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 And now for Botswana. Their current crest is lacking both creativity and clarity, so it was next on my list. The crest shape is crossed elephant tusks, and inside is a stylized zebra. I wanted to make the zebra something that would take a moment to see, but once you see it you can\'t look past it staring back at you. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Botswana is perfect. Zambia needs work. I agree that it's too narrow. I don't think the other concerns folks have presented are as important, though they may become so once it is broadened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midway Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I wanted to make the zebra something that would take a moment to see, but once you see it you can\'t look past it staring back at you.You sure as hell accomplished that. Very well done and I absolutely dig how you don't abandon the elements in these crests that really make them unique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke.zib Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Awesome work, mate. Continue the series... I think only Zambia doesn't fit, the rest is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Botswana - another winner. I'm not sold on the font, but love everything else. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 I wasn't sure where to go with Ghana. I considered just posting a black star, but that felt like a cop-out. I took some cues from Minnesota Stars FC and worked from there. This one is simple. Next up will likely be Uganda or Mali. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke.zib Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Good job. All of them (even Zambia) are better than the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 One more today: This one has definitely taken some cues from my boys at White Hart Lane, and I think it works. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed618 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Ghana: Looking awesome, except I don't like how the "A"s look like "Λ"s.Uganda: So you're a Spurs fan too, I take it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm real excited about Lewis Holtby. But that is a different topic entirely. I've been working on crests for Mali, Niger, and Guinea so we may see one more completed tonight. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatFatCat Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The Uganda logo is fantastic, and I also love Botswana. I agree with what everyone else has said about Zambia, but Ghana I don't think is any better than the original. The way the star interacts with the font is offsetting to me. Then again, I think the original is a decent logo.Having just moved back to the States from Addis Ababa, I would love to see you make one for Ethiopia.Great work, I'm really enjoying it.

nas1787 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Much like the Spurs crest, Uganda is a thing of beauty. The best yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philsphan Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 All of these look great! Could you try Algeria soon. Their mascot is the desert fox but it isn't pictured in the current crest. It would be cool if you could integrate the desert fox into a crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 I posted Algeria on page 1. As you'll see I did not include the fennec fox. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffrey Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 This is a great series! Can't wait to see Namibia, Kenya, Swaziland and Lesotho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The way the C cuts of the corner of the star in the Ghana crest really hurts what is a great effort overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
