mcrosby Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Here we go again. I'm uploading another logo and hoping you all will help me perfect it. This time: New York City Football Club. The logo is an amalgamation of the Yankees look and the Man City look. I took quite a bit more from Man City, as they are soccer specific. I simplified things quite a bit and made the eagle a bald eagle (because 'Merica). https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneAndOnlyMau Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 This is a great start but i think the eagle would benefit from an even more simplified head. Maybe look at the American League (yankees reference) or the United States great seal logo for some inspirationI dig the subtle pinstripes and typeface (what is it btw?) on the shield. Nice work so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saathoff Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Great NYC FC crest concept. I really like it. The pinstripes in the crest I think should be a little wider. Just a little though. NYC FC in the crest looks a little odd, though I don't have solution at the moment.All in all it looks very good. Senior Creative at Sporting Kansas City.

Axe Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Really nice! Only thing that you could do: Fill each second stripe on the shield with light blue. The pinstripes don't really look good on it, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marble21 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I think the NYCFC is too long as it is and would be better off styled as: NYC FC...or something to that effect.Is it the official premier league number font you have used too?

Jaffa Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Solid effort, mcrosby - one thing that caught my eye though is that the kerning on the 'NYCFC' needs looking at, a few of the gaps make it look a bit awkward at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been testing out a few others as well. Helvetica Bold just didn't fit quite right. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed618 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 That lockup is gorgeous. I was thinking of doing something just like that for my concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Great job cleaning up the ManCity logo into something more modern. In the NYC, I like the way you brought the bottom of the Y down all the way to fill out the circle. (For some reason the Yankess interlocked NY has always bothered me since the Y doesn't extend down all the Y to complete an almost perfect circle.) The only thing is that the back of the banner seems disconnected to the front of the banner. DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I'd drop the Prem font; it doesn't make any sense there. I'd also make the shield/banner outline a bit more consistent with the rest of the outlines. The big banner tails also seem quite out of place. I'm also not a fan of how the point of the big blue detail on the wings is so close to the point of the outline; I'd bring it down so it goes into the wing a little more and takes away some of the dead space there.That said, this is a cool idea. That monogram is quite nice. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

nas1787 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I don't love the tails of the banner, and the front of the banner needs to connect to the back as well.It is looking good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naoned Pride Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Well, that's pretty much how I expect the actual logo to look like: Manchester City like.I personnaly prefer the first one, the NYC letter on the second one isn't readable to everyone. I mean, this is gonna be a internationnal fame seeking team, and the NYC logo doesn't mean much to me as it seems just randomly put, while it's not, of course. Where do I come from ? Who do I support ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I'd drop the Prem font; it doesn't make any sense there.I agree – although the new team has very well publicised ties with a Premier League club, it's neither a member of or endorsed by that League. Using elements of said League's branding is best avoided, I reckon.I think too that the 'F' and the 'C' need to be moved out a little, so they don't encroach on the circle around the NYC monogram.

GriffinM6 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 This is freaking awesome. Love the interlocking C with the Yankees logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidrpaige Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Looks good. I ditto the comments on the banner diconnect and the encroaching FC. The only other thing that I would do is a slight adjustment on the interlocking NYC. The point where the N and Y meets, I'd adjust it a bit so that it is more in the center of the C. Right now things seem a little squished towards the top. This is minor, just something I noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcampo6 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Am I the only one who thinks an eagle in an MLS crest = DC United?Yes but he is incorporated an eagle similar to the one seen in the Manchester City crest but he made it a bald eagle instead to make it more American.
