TheGiantsFan Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I like your A's concept. Though maybe it'd look better with the "A" the style it is right now and a corresponding font for the wordmark... BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derschwigg Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think he looks a little blocky. Detail works, but it looks like you used a bit too much. Take away some of the lines and round out the ears and it's a nice concept.Like this?I like your A's concept. Though maybe it'd look better with the "A" the style it is right now and a corresponding font for the wordmark...As in, just a larger version of the Capital A?

McCall Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think he means the actual A that the team currently uses, which goes against the whole idea behind this series of completely new identities. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derschwigg Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 The weird thing is: I tried that first! I couldn't find a good blackletter script that worked well enough to stand on its own and correspond with a word mark AND look like a redesign. The Giants had that issue as well. Besides, I've always thought the elephant was a stronger icon. Sure, the A works. But an A doesn't stampede or bull rush you, lol My Portfolio | My Store | My Self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derschwigg Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Is it just the bill that's throwing it off? My Portfolio | My Store | My Self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsim1 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Is it just the bill that's throwing it off?I think so. I didn't really know where the logo ended, as there is no outline. The beak seems... off, but I don't quite know why. For the longest time, I couldn't tell what way it was even supposed to face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BW14 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Yeah its just the bill. It looks too tall if that makes sense, make it a bit flatter and I think you are golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derschwigg Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Is this better? Or should it go a little more? My Portfolio | My Store | My Self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAWeaver Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 DANG IT! You all beat me to the punch!What am I gonna do with this now ?Haha. All joking around, it does look off, but I don't know what I could say to make it better. Maybe make the bottom of the head/base of the neck come to a point, similar to that of their current logo? I'm not sure how you would improve this. You could restart from scratch... @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could restart from scratch...If I do that, you lose the letter J in the head/neck line. I've made changes, and an alt. You guys pick.orDo you prefer the J?

kevsim1 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 IT'S A J!?!?!?!?!? I think I like the flying one better. Pull his head out a bit (it's scrunched up right now) and you have a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derschwigg Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 IT'S A J!?!?!?!?!?Yep! That's why it curves so sharply at the bottom. My Portfolio | My Store | My Self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAWeaver Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I like the full body logo much better than the Mordecai J head. Really nice.Toronto? More like.. SNORE-onto!

TheGiantsFan Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I love the full-body blue jay and how it incorporates both the T and the J. Now how about adding a little maple leaf in there because Canada?But as always, great work! BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
