BigRed618 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 That sucks that we won't see Cosmos in the MLS. Maybe once we figure out promotion/relegation, that can change.As for your concept, nice update of FCNY, if that's what you were going for. My only gripe is that they call themselves "New York," but the symbols on the crest are only for Queens.And personally, I would've used Brooklyn Italians or New York AC if I was choosing a lower-tier team besides Cosmos to become NY2.

Atom Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 FC New York has a similar concept:Not a fan of the overall design, but maybe a stronger font will improve it. Excellent job on Vancouver by the way.Wow I've never seen that I thought I was being super original. I used Helvetica because of its use in NY's subways.

-kj Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I did a take on FCNY's look a while back, since theirs was so terribly done.Your kit concepts are pretty interesting (I especially like that Vancouver third), but I'll be a bit blunt: your logo work needs some work. New England especially stands out: very thin lines and jumbled detail. Your NYFC idea suffers the same problem; it doesn't seem coherent. I'd suggest going back and working on those, strengthening the linework and simplifying.The Chicago recolor also doesn't do anything for me; it loses that fire department feel, plus the contrast is lost.

Atom Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Okay so this time take the crown off the top and put New Yorks three biggest skyscrapers (Empire State Building, One World Trade Center and Bank Of America Tower) on top. Still has the Pentagon as the base shape for the five boroughs and Helvetica as the font because thats what they use in the Subway system. Cant decide if I like it better with the crown and soccer ball or without them; also darker or lighter accents on skyscrapers...what do yall think?

1clkgtramg Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I think I like the top left one the best. Maybe make the crown and flower in the middle, remove the soccer ball. I'm not a big fan of the Pentagon shaped sheild. I would have just gone parallel with the triangle at the bottom. But it is you call, just some ideas I love all of the designs so far, like most people, the third Vancouver jersey is my absolute favorite! I wish I could buy one!!

Atom Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 I am working on a crest for Atlanta and I am looking for some advice on how to make it look more like a real crest, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas1787 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'd thicken the outside stroke of the oval, and put Atlanta Phoenix in a banner that extends outside of the oval. I like the idea though. I thought about using the name Atlanta Phoenix for my rugby concepts, but thought it would be a bit confusing with a city named Phoenix in the same country.

goforbroke Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I would do Chrysler building instead of BoA ... wayyyy more recognizable and iconic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1clkgtramg Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 hmm, The Atlanta one looks cool but it would be better suited for Phoenix FC kinda like what Buffalo does to their logos.

Turkleton Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I like the jerseys, the Red Bull ones are my favourites, but the shorts and socks look strange! The shirts are rendered really well and the designs are great, but the shorts look like an after thought and like they've been drawn in a different programme. I will say again though, the jerseys are excellent and Im looking forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est1980 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Well it's official.

I will say again though, the jerseys are excellent and Im looking forward to seeing more.The shorts are in illustrator the jerseys are in photoshop. There isnt a good template for shorts like there is for the jerseys so I just use the shorts to give the overall idea of what the full kit could look like.Well it's official.

lancealot Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 That's the funny thing about that font, people often mistake it for helvetica when infact it is helvetica bold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffa Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 And theyre using Helvetica... called it!Manchester City have been using various weights of Helvetica in their materials for quite a while, with bold particularly prominent. I'm not ruling out the new team using it too but in this instance it might just be the case that they're piggybacking Manchester City's branding until they get themselves sorted out.
