werbear Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I recently purchased pro football simulator. One of the features of the game is that you can upload your own logos, midfield, and endzone art. I really wanted to upload a league that I've been playing around with for years. I've started to come up with Logos for the various teams and wanted to get some C and C. The league itself started as various other leagues around the 1910's. Because of this the teams themselves are very localized in areas that might not otherwise have teams or have multiple teams, for instance there is a Minneapolis franchise and a rival St. Paul franchise. As most of the work is going to made up to go into this game I'm only going to do some logo and helmet work for now. If I get a chance later I'll probably try to do some uniform work as well. But for my skill level currently, novice, The logo and helmet art will be challenging enough.Up for your consideration first is the Minneapolis Millers and the St. Paul Saints. The idea is that both cities started club teams in the late 19th century. When a new league formed in the 20's with roaring 20's money the two clubs joined. While the Millers went through a redesign in the 60's with the advent of new helmets the Saints kept the halo they had painted on their old leather helmets. What do you guys think?

werbear Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 So I'm doing a 30 team League, divided into two leagues, Sub divided into 3 divisions, east, west and central. I'm doing this a division at a time. United Football ConferenceCentral DIvisionSt. Paul SaintsMinneapolis MillersNebraska JackalopesMilwaukee MillersChicago ShepherdsHere is the remainder of the division. Like I said C&C is much appreciated. I'm still not sure what I'm doing.Milwaukee Masons- Milwaukee is known as the Cream City, not for their dairy business, but for the unique color of the bricks produced there. The team became known as the masons because of the color of their stadiums bricks.Chicago Shepherds- I really liked the alliteration. In the history the team was formed by a bunch of Jewish butchers who specialized in sheep. Nebraska Jackalopes- A unique creature for the area, the Jackalope is a unique part of Nebraska culture.

illwauk Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Nice to see a Milwaukee concept that's not based on beer for once. Love the Masons nickname... nice colors too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I agree with ThePeam...good start.The Jackalopes' logo would be a little more dynamic if the ears were longer and a tad narrower.They would extend a little from the circular shape of the face.You don't need the squiggly line at the bottom.Again, good start. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkychewbarky Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I actually like the face and horn from the first logo better.I'm not sure about the white circle.It takes away from the from the simplicity of the original face.It does look better without the squiggle.Again, I think if you just extend the ear back and down a bit on your first jack, it would look pretty good. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

werbear Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Thank you very much for all the critiques. I'm starting in on the AFC West. The teams are:San Francisco SealsPortland OttersSeattle BombersDallas CoyotesArizona PhoenixFirst up is the Seals. The team itself started in the 70's so I tried to create a kind of surfer vibe to the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 BTW werbear, your last Jack looked pretty good. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werbear Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 A slight re design for the seals. Thanks for the feedback Sparky. I liked the way it turned out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werbear Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 It looks a little funny in reverse. Not terrible, but not great either. I was thinking of doing a single sided helmet. Here is the reverse for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werbear Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Yeah, I do like the idea though. Probably solve it like the Steelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugevolsfan Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I like the logo alot I think it would look better if you made the bottom end more like the top does.

werbear Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 I'm really glad you like it. I'm a little confused by the critique though. What do you mean the top does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 My guess would be to make it less flat and more flamey. Because that's my only complaint about it as well. It looks like a dog or something sitting down right now. I see what you're trying to do, but I'd go all the way and give the phoenix a bottom half and maybe even some flamey claws. For the Seals, I think it should have the 'board' on it every time. I love the board and once I know it's there, when it's not there, it just looks wrong or incomplete.

Greg_Fryman Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I think he means it kind of just ends and there is not real flow with the rest of the logo. Everything else has really nice flow it just looks like you cut off the bottom half of the bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
