hettinger_rl Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I drew up this "Faux-Back" WV logo because they didn't seem to have any vintage style mascot logos. Tell me what you think, response will dictate how far I go with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverP Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'd love to see it finished and rendered out. I like the look of the mountaineer, that right eye is kinda funny looking. That's the only thing.*Follow this topic* *click* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I don't think it's actually the eye that's funny, he's missing his far cheek. Based on how the mouth is oriented, we should be able to see the far (his right) cheek bone. How much you want to play with that is up to you, but I think that's what's giving it that "something about it looks off..." look.When it's finished, this is going to be epic. Like, send this to WVU epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Louis Cardinals Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 This is a great logo, but a few things could really make it great. I think the shadow on the mans mustache is uneeded, and also, what are the letters on the hat? Looks like a WvW to me. maybe im missing something?

hettinger_rl Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 what are the letters on the hat? Looks like a WvW to me. maybe im missing something?It's an old logo that they use for baseball now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenD Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 is it supposed to be like the yankees logo or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoe12 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Great logo, I wish the university would use this instead of their lame WV logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I like the logo. Reminds me of App State's Yoself logo. Would love to see in color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 This is going to be a great logo, hettinger. I cannot wait to see a finished version. Perfect choice for the WV and perfect throwback feel to the Mountaineer face. Take this the whole way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenD Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 dont know why i didnt say it earlier but this is probably the best original logo ive ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hettinger_rl Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks for all the C&C folks. I was wondering though; Do you think it would be ok to only use the school colors on the letters (WV) and use browns, flesh, and black for the hat, skin, and beard?

Varsity Blue Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks for all the C&C folks. I was wondering though; Do you think it would be ok to only use the school colors on the letters (WV) and use browns, flesh, and black for the hat, skin, and beard?I think when it comes to the cap, you should use blue, gold for the WV monogram. But for the face and beard, flesh tone and brown.I'm anxious to see how this turns out. The sketch is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbdaniel15 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I love a lot of it, but think the teeth showing compared to the bottom lip being so high is kind of drastic. A little out of place! But if you take the CC posted thus far and tweak it with color, it's going to be SICK. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varsity Blue Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Those are exactly the look you replicated with the Mountaineer. I would outline him in black, use blue for the hat, gold for the monogram, brown for the beard (though a darker shade of gold might be interesting for the whiskers) and flesh tone for the face.

hettinger_rl Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Ok, a couple of color combos here. The first is the WV colors right off of the mothership. I also went with a paler fleshtone. The second is more in line with the colors they use on field and a tanner flesh. Let me know what you think.

PlatinumAmphibian Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Personally I think the second one is better, the more tan skin colour makes the teeth stand out more which is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
