kevsim1 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Here's the concept for the St. Louis Cardinals!Don't know why, but I see more indians than Cardinals in this. This is great, and I 'd love to see you incorporate it, but I think that it's best to actually use a real Cardinal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8BW14 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I like it. I think its pretty sharp. All of these are pretty good.I do not like the Padres color scheme, however. I'm with McCall on that one. Brown and orange or, preferably,brown and yellow, but I think brown, powder blue and either yellow or tan would really make that logo pop.

TheGiantsFan Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 In my opinion, I don't think I'd do a fleur-de-lis for the Cardinals. That would make me think it's from New Orleans or something... BEHANCE | PORTFOLIOÂ Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make me think it's from New Orleans or something...GASP! I GET TO BE THE HISTORY AND SPORTS SNOB! I NEVER GET TO BE THE SPORTS SNOB!-ahem- I opted for the Fleur de Lis because St. Louis (as a city) has it as a symbol in its flag, most likely because King Louis XIV (I think?) used it as his symbol, and was himself referred to as St. Louis. Also, the St. Louis Browns (now the Baltimore Orioles) used the Fleur as their primary mark back in the 40's. Their color scheme (ironic, given the hate over the Padres set) was brown and orange.

It's not about brown and orange (which is a good combo, just better the Padres go brown and gold), but rather brown, orange AND gold all together.

Silent Wind of Doom Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hahahahahaha, I LOVE the new interpretation of the "Cardinal" name. To be honest, I don't think the Cardinal/fluer-de-lys combination really works at all. Go one way or the other. I prefer your original, however, if you make the upper-right and upper-left segments more winglike and make the bottom more tail-like with claws wrapped around the bat, I think you could split the difference. It would look much better, but the fluer-de-lys would be less prominent. I'd like to see that, if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAWeaver Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I actually like the Card-de-lis ( ) but SWoD has a good point.

Or the new, birdier one?That's a pretty good idea. I'll see if I can get a good concept before too long. Thanks!

derschwigg Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Continuing with the league, here's the Dodgers. This one is more of a "refresh" than any other team I've done. The term "Dodgers" doesn't really apply to anything going on in LA anymore, so I focused more on modernizing the LA.

Silent Wind of Doom Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I think the updated LA looks nice, but I think it would be nice to incorporate the ball into the logo and not (just) the script.And I meant the original fleur-de-lys without the Cardinal face. I definitely love the way the middle top part fits the shape of a Cardinals' head so well. Looking back on it, I suppose the original fluer-de-lys was supposed to resemble feathers. I didn't see that. I thought you were completely leaving behind bird imagery in favor of a new view of the name "Cardinals", but if you DO wish to incorporate the bird, then I'd definitely go the route I described with more bird-like features. The head looks like a finger sticking out of the fleur-de-lys as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFallenHaveRisen Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 For the Cardinals, I'd replace the navy with Powder Blue & the yellow with Gold to give it a more "King Louis" feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
