andycumbee19 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hey guys, posting my first logo concepts on here. Before I show the logos, let me 'splain myself.This team was originally a team I created on NCAA football 2006 (which I still play religiously) then grew into just my go-to team name for anything team related I did. Fantasy Baseball, Hockey, Football, you name it. We are a very traditional team as far as uniforms go (all sports) as well. We are mainly a Red & White team, but recently when I designed my own logos for it I was confronted with the fact that I needed a third color when working with white backgrounds. Ta-Da! Black was introduced as a trim-only color.Uniforms for all teams remain red & white only (unless a logo is involved, in which black is used for trim)Ok, without any further ado, here are the logos.The top logo is the main logo I came up with a year or so ago. The bottom is an iteration I did this morning, and I've got to admit, I think it looks just as good and it gives me the "grass is always greener" prerogative. After this post, I'll post the Single-Letter logo (and new versions I also did today.)I'm very interested to hear your opinions & look forward to collaborating with anyone. Thanks for looking!

seattlesonicsofsacramento Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 The font might turn a lot of people off, but you might be able to justify it as "video-gamey", at least back in the arcade days of games. Just one thing, though, the V in Andyville really really looks like a U "The pictures looked good on the computer," Will Brown explained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycumbee19 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 I'm back to bump my first concept thread to show more of my work. First off, I got rid of the out-of-place 3d video-gamey font and went with this one. The thought process is simple. I decided to give my team more of a Russian Red Army feel by changing the wordmark font to look Russian, while also adding yellow/gold to the color palette just for trim & logo purposes. As this team is as traditional as the day is long, I hesitated to use another color. (I still wanted to stay away from black despite precedence of using it in the past.)Now a quick sidestory about this: my girlfriend cannot get past the idea that I added yellow. She hates it. Although it has nothing to do with her, she is against me using the gold. When I told her the other day I was thinking about using a russian-esque font, she didnt understand why. She says the video-gamey font was perfect and didnt need an update. When she asked me "why gold?" I simply replied, "because the Russian Red Army used gold as a national color", which she promptly responded with a "why can't you just be American?" She has no understanding of how pro teams re-brand, so trying to explain my concept here has fallen on deaf ears. I'm very happy with the way this turned out. Please give me some feedback!

wonderbread Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Keep it down to a maximum of 2 fonts right now there are 4 which doesn't create a consistent brand identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The script on the top of the diamond is mostly optional. That's more of my "baseball" script just because I'm a sucker for cursive scripts. The A font on the diamond stayed just because I love that logo. The Russian A didn't look as good. Lovin the C/C guys! That's Why I love these boards!

Whittier S Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I keep wanting to visually add an upper-left corner to that logo, so that the outline is an eight-pointed star. Try it; you might find the symmetry appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
