Aussie Ry Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hey guys,So this is officially my first actual post on here, been lurking these boards for a while but never really had the timeto contribute as much as I'd like to and post any of my concepts, so here we go!This is a little something I've been working on as a "minor league" baseball style concept.The team is called the "Embats" and is based on a mythical bat species that ignites wildfires with a flap of it's wings.I'd appreciate your critiques as well as suggestions on how I can give this little guy more of a "flaming" look, other than just the flame in his eyes.The centre image "A" is my original logo, "B" & "C" have different ears, whilst "D" & "E" have different hair.So far I'm leaning towards option "E"Looking forward to your suggestions and comments.

dsaline97 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 My favorite is C, but the head looks fatter than the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I also like C, partially because it's a little fatter. I also like the ear shape of C over A or B. Nice stuff all around, although I'm not a huge fan of the hairdo of D and E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Ry Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Cheers for that dsaline97 - Oops, yeah sorry the head on "C" is supposed to be the same as the rest, must of grabbed the wrong one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I think the messy hair matches the hair on the cheeks and stuff better. The pompadour reminded me of a monster Elvis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theSLVRBCK Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I actually like the ears of A with the hair of E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Combine the ears from B and the hair from D in a single concept. The shape of both, combined with the shape of the pupils, will reinforce the "wildfire" aspect of the Embats' legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I checked out the Clink Room for the first time in month and saw this up in their contest. It looks great on the cap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Ry Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Cheers Shumway!Yeah I think it really stands out on the navy cap too, the neon outline really makes it pop.Now just to decide on which revision I'm going to send in... "C" or "E" ...?Maybe I'll send both in and let the Clink guys decide?...@Brian in Boson - I combined the ears from "B" with the hair from "D" and I don't know if it really works, it feels a bit top heavy / too much going on now.I'll post it up soon for you to have a look.
