GMS1122 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hey all, another little something I decided to play with recently....I'm looking for a little constructive criticism on this one. I'm struggling mightily with the line between realistic and stylized. Ideally, I'd like to convey a bit more aggression without losing much of the bulky nature of it. Like I said, criticism is welcome.Thanks guys GMS on dribbbleErie Apparel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Not only is this a real good rendering of a bison, but the action on the beast is excellent.You've really caught it "mid-stride".A bit more aggression could be attained by moving that rear driver's side foot a little further back...as if he's really givin'er! *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas1787 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 On my screen the brown and black seem really close in colour, and a bit hard to distinguish. I also don't like just the one instance of white in the horn. To make it a bit more aggressive you could try moving the head down a bit (along with Sparky's foot suggestion) to make it look like the bison is charging someone. Right now it looks a bit like its prancing and not charging. Great job so far though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShaw528 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 You could try making the eyes look angrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMS1122 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Thanks for the remarks.Sparky - I extended the front rear leg and also changed the hoof angle a bit to help "ground" him so he didnt look so prancynas - made some adjustments to the head per your suggestion, i think it helps, as for the color, I provided a second option that offers a bit more contrast. You could look into calibrating your monitor if you think it's off, I didn't use any black within the logo, however the shade of brown is pretty dark.Stl Cards - I addressed the neck area by adding an additional tuft of hair from his jaw to chest.I also added a simple wordmark example, which i admittedly did on cruise control. I'm willing to listen to better city/nickname options to try out with a bit more effort. GMS on dribbbleErie Apparel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I like it. I would try to make the head and body flow together a bit better. Currently it looks like you started with a great head logo and then added a great body render. I would also try moving the far back leg into a position more similar to the close back leg. It will give the logo more of a leaping feeling, similar to the Buffalo Bills logo. ...can we see it in Buffalo Bills colors? https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hettinger_rl Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 You could have it's head dropped a bit, with it's horns facing forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoleYourRole Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Looks really good! I wonder if tilting the head down a bit, as if it's charging, would add a touch more aggression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMS1122 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Here's the latest set of updates. The lower 2 versions differ slightly in the positioning of the head. It's really transformed from a "running" buffalo to a "leaping" one, which is fine, but i havent decided which I prefer just yet.Also Bills colors, as requested. Once I settle on the logo, I'll probably flesh out some secondary marks and uniforms. GMS on dribbbleErie Apparel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb05 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Amazing work! I will say that I think the latest change to the rear hooves is a downgrade. I think having one hoof "grounded" and the other in mid-stride really conveyed motion exteremely well. Having both grounded doesn't work as well for me.

Stampman Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 That just might be the best buffalo/bison logo I have ever seen.Actually it is.It's not too goofy and it's not anthropomorhized.It does what it does, and says Bison...

AlexInHBurg Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I absolutely love these logos! Considering bison are my favorite animal, I like nearly every logo with a bison.

Morgan33 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I absolutely love these logos! Considering bison are my favorite animal, I like nearly every logo with a bison.Except the Buffaslug right? All these logos look fantastic, I particularly like the Red and Blue versions. They're detailed without going over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
