nuordr Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I am not a fan of the horns only on the helmet, it reminds me too much of the Colorado Buffaloes throwback which I dislike. But please keep this up as I you are doing a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithisgood Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hey again! I'm revamping an idea I had for The Clink Room into a Madden idea. Here's the Omaha Thunder!I really like the look of this logo set. It's fresh but still says NFL (instead of Arena football or College as some concepts do). My only note would be that--and this may be hard to avoid, because how many ways can one render an ungulate?--the contour of the bull's neck really reminds me of Denver's Bronco.Perhaps there would be some way to lightning-ize the bull's neck to differentiate it?Keep up the god work. I love what you do here on the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beluga4 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 If you are making the helmet blue you should put the OT logo on the helmetOk but why?My plan was to drop the OT on the shoulders and echo the bolt down the pant leg.Good idea! You should put the bull on the helmet, my point is I don't like the horn, it leaves to much empty helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gator71 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Love the logos. but I'm just not feeling the royal blue helmets when you only use navy on the logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Watt Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Very clean looking logos, really like the colors you used. My only problem is that the team name is Thunder, and you are using a lightning bolt predominately in your concept. Maybe focus more on the bull/ bison thing you have going on.You do realize that almost every team called the Thunder uses a lightning bolt? The reason, how are you going to make a logo over a sound.Might want to check again.... OKC, Portland? I think the Trenton Thunder do use a lightning bolt, but cant think of any others really.Both helmets look real sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahoma City's logo almost shouldn't count. Thanks for the kind words!Love the logos. but I'm just not feeling the royal blue helmets when you only use navy on the logos.

drdougfresh Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Really sharp. The lack of a mouth on the bull really isn't bothering me at all, though it might be worth exploring some shadows to mitigate that issue like jaha mentioned. My biggest critique would actually be the wordmark. Not sold on the typeface you used for 'THUNDER'. It feels a bit ornate for the rest of the package to me.Let's see how many of these you can get into the game! Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAWeaver Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I like the darker helmet, but I like the one with the horns better. This one reminds me of a Broncos concept without stripes. What if you combine the horn helmet with the navy helmet?I also like the uniforms, but why no white jerseys? Just think it's kind of odd not seeing one. Overall it's a nice package, but the horn helmet may be your best bet, whether it's a primary helmet or an alternate (if Madden will allow for multiple helmets) @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I like the brighter blue, personally. I realize that blue isn't in the logo, but it's represented elsewhere on the jersey. What if you added a bright blue nose ring in the shape of the Omaha O in your secondary, and then made the secondary O the bright blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragone Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I really like this overall, but I feel as though the uniforms design are too similar to your other team, the London Black Knights. I would try something different for the uniform design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Watt Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Really like the darker helmet, but like mrnascar said, would like to see one with just the horns as well.Overall, i think your uniforms look great, the lighter blue on the shoulders kinda throw me off a bit, maybe try white there, or even the gold?
