mcrosby Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Well, about 6 years ago, not long after starting here on CCSLC I posted a topic with my Vols revamp. It was done on MS Paint and not exactly pristine. This was the original concept: It wasn't all that great, but back in the day I was quite proud. Another member recently asked if he could use these logos for a concept helmet he was making, and it presented me an opportunity to try again. So far, this is what I've got. I need to finish up some work on the hands and a few other places, but I've been looking at it for too long without getting the critiques of others. That's where you come in. Tear this logo apart so I can put it back together. Ready....GO!He will be putting it on a black helmet, so I also worked up this version: https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffinM6 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 That is great. Love the Tennessee outline in near the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Also, for those that don't know much about Tennessee Vols logo history, it is based on this guy: https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverP Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I like the logo it's nicely done. i'd like to see this guy holding a rifle the way it was meant to be held, by that i mean can you make his right hand hold the gun on the trigger. you can just move the rifle forward and do some editing.can't wait to see the final product.

If he were just shooting the rifle, he could be a hunter, a sniper, a policeman, etc., but his action of grabbing that darn thing by the barrel and running out the door tells me that he's like the southern version of a Minuteman. 5th in NAT.

LAWeaver Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 First someone messes with my Pats and now someone messes with my Vols. They both are freakin awesome. I was worried your version from a few years back was your new one because the one on black is one of the best logos I've seen on here in a Lil while.

missouri tigers Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Solid work, Crosby!I have to say, my favorite part is the state outline on the stock of the gun, really nice touch. I was wondering why the one color version doesn't feature the Tennessee state outline, though; did you just add it afterward to the full color version or is there another reason?The only part I'd suggest you look at is the area directly below the ear. That thick notch separating the jawline from the ear looks off to me, it seems like you could get away with making it stand out a lot less. But again, this is good quality stuff, keep it up!

MojoRoberts Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I'm with everyone else on this, the state outline sort of hidden in plain sight is brilliant. http://boards.sports...-league-hockey/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 The state in the butt of the gun isn't on the one color version because I added it later. Both are updated now, I'll post again when/if anyone has any more suggestions for fixin 'er up some more. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 The version on the black helmet is amazing. It pops, but it's still very logo-like (as opposed to an illustration).The state outline is FANTASTIC. I didn't even see it until it was pointed out, and it's downright genius. I would love to see this on tshirts, pronto. Great work. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
