BagelHK Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'm creating a Virginia Beach soccer identity just for the fun of it. VB has intrigued me of late, so I decided to give it a go. I've come up with a preliminary logo, but I want some help to make it feel more flushed out and complete. I also will take some suggestions on color, but I want to stay with the general color scheme. Once I finish up the logo I'll get to the uniforms.Here's the logo where it stands:I took inspiration from the city flag for the lighthouse, and I've liked the idea of a diamond shaped crest for a while. Comments and criticism please! I want to flush out this concept! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayne Amaze Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I like this concept a lot. Really awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 My only nitpick is the lighthouse needs a little more definition to further associate with the city flag lighthouse. Don't over-do it, but just a couple lines here and there would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarindude Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Like the colors used in this logo. Very simple, but sharp. Would be great for a Junior Club league team but I could even see it being used for a minor league soccer team. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BagelHK Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Not sure if it's good or bad that people like this and I don't quite feel satisfied. Anything else that I can try? I'll try some definition on the lighthouse later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS729 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I like it, but as WSU pointed out, some more details are needed on the lighthouse. Right now it looks more like a skyscraper/building than a lighthouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePeam Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Looks Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BagelHK Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Simplified the color scheme, made a few other tweaks like adding stripes to the lighthouse, and switched the font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas1787 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I like the update to the lighthouse, but the new font stretches out the box far too much. Stick with the original font. You also need to find another solution for the lower portion. FC shouldn't be larger than Virginia Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsim1 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I agree with everything above. Font was better before, Lighthouse is much better here. Shrink FC, and have a portion of a soccer ball visible at the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I prefer the original color scheme and font versus the updated one. And honestly, I don't think the strips added much to the lighthouse. I think the shape needs to be reworked. Is just doesn't look like a lighthouse. As mentioned before, it really looks more like a skyscraper. And something should definitely be added to the bottom section with the FC. Maybe some waves in the light blue?

BagelHK Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 I hate drawing waves. Widened the lighthouse to give it a bit more of a lighthouse-y look (hopefully). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeh-see Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 As a longgg time Virginia Beach native (I still call it home and have tons of family there, including a daughter), I will give you one piece of advice on the lighthouse that will make it connect to the city and make your logo really location-specific. Instead of stripes, go with a checkerboard pattern seen here, https://www.google.com/#q=cape+henry+lighthouse , the iconic Cape Henry lighthouse. I do a lot of work for the Virginia Beach area and I have a fantasy hockey team on these boards (see Major League Hockey) that incorporates VB landmarks into the logos, including one with the Cape Henry Lighthouse. Hope that helps. Love the colors btw.UniJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pava Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Maybe some windows on top of the lighthouse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BagelHK Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Checker board'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS729 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The lighthouse could still use some work... A window would probably help. Also that wave needs some work, maybe a curling pattern? Right now it just looks unfinished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Instead of 2x2 checkerboard, try a 2 down x 3 wide. I agree with everyone the original font it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
