jdp Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 This may be a "duh" question, but what's the purpose of the "E"? To be just that or to look like the stripes of the American flag? That's what I get from the version without the bevel. "Type something, will ya?

McElroy19 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 As a Bears fan, I'd say the G and the B are extraneous. As are the words Green, Bay and Packers. As a fellow Bears fan, it took every ounce of willpower I had not to jokingly post a solid green square with "Green Bay Packers" in Myriad font. Haha!However, I did put together another time lapse video for the Broncos. I'm not entirely sold on the typeface, but you all loved the last video I made, so I thought I'd try something a little different. In the video, I mess up/start over a few times. But I think it's good for people, especially those who are just starting out, to see people make mistakes. Sometimes, the best option is to scrap and start over. It's crazy watching how you do this because so many of the techniques you use I use but then their were things I would have never thought of in there. linktr.ee/McElroy19 // Graphic Design — Vegas Golden Knights. // Sports Logos and UniformsLet’s work together!!

SuperLeafsFan Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I like the belevel. Surprised I didn't se this thread till now, but I did like your MLB stuff. If you can get around to it, can you perhaps release some of your fonts as packages? I like they way they look and would be great to have because I am trying to get a NBA project done, and custom fonts look great on basketball uniforms. I think I like smilies too much!

8BW14 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I suggested the bevel, but now after seeing both, the bevel just doesn't look right. Like others have said, it disrupts the flow of the NE and the idea that the E doubles as stripes is lost, in my opinion. The bevels looked good in my bead but in application they just don't work. One question, though. How would the logo be displayed on a white, transparent or red background? Just curious. Anyway I think the original logo is the best of the three, but the new wordmark is better. I am loving your work and I can't wait to see your New England primary and whatever else you have in store.

FlyingBuckeye7 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 First, a roughed up wordmark for the Vikings!...Then, a new look for the Browns!...And, as promised, a complete timelapse. The only thing you don't see is that I did sketch out my idea on paper first and used it as off-screen reference.[time-lapse of Cleveland Browns]Enjoy! Kid you not, the best time-lapse video I've seen. Exactly the type of video I've been looking for. ... I don't have your skills, but it also helps validate some of the methods I've been using. Now, if only I could make mine look as refined... Nice work on the video. One thing I'd recommend to you is to learn the pathfinder tools in Illy -- it'll save you a lot of time and will also help prep the final file a little better. Awesome work, and love the videos. I wanna punch my screen in disgust over how freaking awesome these videos are.If that didn't make sense, I'll just say these are fantastic Thanks! I appreciate the kind words! Doug, I do use the Pathfinder quite a bit - it might not come across in the high-speed. But thanks for the help!As for the comments on the collar, I've made it a bit more his size.This is not the browns at all. Too cartoonish. Go with a more realistic bulldog.

JRB14 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 As 8BW14 suggested, the white background was my first thought upon seeing your New England logo.Still great, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go with a more realistic bulldog.On the contrary - I wanted their look to be what I perceive this team to be: a scrappy little team with a bit of a chip on it's shoulder.

Sean F&F Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Here's a minimalist take on the Steelers!I was looking through the thread. I really like this one but I think the text conflicts with the logo. The logo is made of hard, sharp edges while the text is smooth and curved. I think a blockier font would go better. https://fandfsports.wordpress.com/Hockey Uniform Templates (Gimp/Photoshop) http://seanff.deviantart.com/gallery/52790653/Devious-Folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derschwigg Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 I went ahead and nixed the bevel, but I kinda like the logo on grey, too. Thoughts? My Portfolio | My Store | My Self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Grey works perfectly for New England for whatever reason. I like it. The N looks a bit flat without the beveling. Wonder what could be done...Something that just hit me would be add stars to the N. Not sure how it would look, just a suggestion. "I believe in Auburn and love it!"

Doyle524 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I went ahead and nixed the bevel, but I kinda like the logo on grey, too. Thoughts?That is gorgeous. Without the bevel on either seems like the best look, as is the gray background. Thumbs up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean F&F Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Looking at the wordmark again, one tiny thing that looks a little off is that serif thing on the A. It creates a little space between the P and A. I think if the A has a top like the O, it might go together smoother.I like the flat NE logo as well. https://fandfsports.wordpress.com/Hockey Uniform Templates (Gimp/Photoshop) http://seanff.deviantart.com/gallery/52790653/Devious-Folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
