Rampart Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Looking for some good constructive feedback on the logo and kits for a Pittsburgh Rugby team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Very nice. It suits the Steel City well. If you're looking for a presenting sponsor for the shirts, The Pittsburgh area does have a lot of companies with some level of presence in the area. Heinz, AE Outfitters, 84 Lumber, PNC, and of course, US Steel, are just a few examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampart Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 I have the jerseys in an another illustrator file with a bunch of corporate logos (GNC, Giant Eagle, PNC, Range Resources, etc.) That way I can put custom proposals together for each possible advertising partner. I just want to get some feedback on a the design from a community of people who are passionate about logos and uniforms. I'm wondering if I should put the city crest watermark on the back of the shirts as well. There may be sponsors above and below the numbers. The guy running the show is stuck on the idea of putting a silhouette of the Pittsburgh skyline on the front, but I've been unable to make it look like anything but a solid blob with some shapes on top. I hate when people with do eye for design have brilliant ideas that they just HAVE to implement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakexedge Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I dig this a lot. I've never watched rugby before, but I'd certainly watch if Pittsburgh had a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampart Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 There's still a lot of work to do, but we're planning for summer of 2014 at Highmark Stadium.What do you think of the logo and jerseys? Should anything be added, subtracted or tweaked? I thinking about white sleeves for the black jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas1787 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 This is so solid. I have no critique whatsoever. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacificCoastRL Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Rampart - I am assuming this is rugby league as opposed to rugby union, as I recognise your name and the tie in with Pittsburgh from another forum. Anyway - I love the colors, they scream Pittsburgh, and I love the chevron on the chest, the iconic symbol of rugby league. Great job. Good luck in your quest to play in the USARL.

Rampart Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thanks. We're pretty excited about the new stadium. It's primarily a soccer stadium which should work better than high school football fields. The fan experience should be great.I did some tweaking to the logo. Didn't like the "mallet" style hammer and replaced it with a metal sledgehammer head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampart Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 A few secondary logo concepts. I'm not sure if I like the skyline on the far right or far left better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampart Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 The final version.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzzaf Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I'd have shrunk the wordmark to the width of the shield. Otherwise, great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadhugoboss Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Rampart, this team name and alot of the concepts are rip-offs from my Pittsburgh Hammers basketball team. I made a thread back on November 14, 2012. Here is the link: The colors, wordmark, I mean.. where do I begin? What's the deal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Dandy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The name's a problem...but seriously...the colors? Because you're the only person to think "let's put black and yellow with Pittsburgh?" And Rampart's wordmark looks different to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robmarty009 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Look closer. The wordmark is similar. The "crossed hammers"(especially similar rendering treatment). The Pittsburgh skyline from one of my concepts. The biggest issue is the blatant rip-off of the name. I have already reported Rampant. Shameful, shameful..

lancealot Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 It's nothing like your concept besides the name and colors and you probably weren't the first to name a team the hammers, you defenantly weren't the first guy to use those colors for Pitt, the skyline of Pittsburgh is the skyline of Pittsburgh it wouldn't have changed from when you drew it and he drew it. Your deffs not the first person to do crossed objects behind a sheild and his wordmark isn't the same as yours. You are the one who should be getting in trouble for having dupe accounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rendering of the hammers is not similar. And seriously? The use of the skyline? There are some similarities, to be sure...but come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the deal??I'm sure you're not the first person to come up with the name "Hammers" for a team in Pittsburgh. I don't think you have enough evidence to call foul.As for the concept, I love it. Rendering is clean and I like how glossy it looks. Fantastic. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidrpaige Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I think for the secondary logo I'd go with the simpler skyline (the 3rd image). You wouldn't go wrong with either one, but I like the simplicity of the smaller skyline.I think the only thing that bothers me about the main logo is the large negative space between the wordmark and the logo. There is such a gap they seem to be separate elements instead of being one unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
