Buster Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 If you squint, it looks like a hand holding up a flaming piece of charcoal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean F&F Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Here's a little update. Thicker lines, added some shading and removed others. Rounded the eyes. 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...
JTswag187 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Your problem with this logo is it's too complex and realistic, keep it simpler. Also most logos are a shape filled with details to make it a logo, instead of just straight drawing an illustration. Notice how the face fills in the blue shape. You can update that all you want. And it will improve. But in order to make great logos you have to look at it from a different perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamiller99 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 In this scenario, less is more when it comes to making human logos. That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyolaProp1 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I think the bottom part of the P should be level. It is a good look, I think you have something good that you can work with, but I think the angles and thickness can be adjusted to give it a more refined look.

Sean F&F Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Back with another revision, this time of the first Pat Patriot head logo. I searched around for some other logos that use faces and took some ideas from them as far as the level of detail and shape of the features are.I still haven't perfected the hair, I think I'll just have to draw it by hand then recreate it on the computer. 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...
Sean F&F Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Back with a modification of the logo seen above.I added a tail to it. I tried the previous logo (the one above) on a helmet and it didn't look as good. I think I'm just used to the Patriots current logo but I felt mine needed a tail on it. It also brought some more red into the logo which I like. 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...

The reason why the flying Elvis works is because it has an aggressive stance of going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 On the P, I think you need to skew the star as well. Right now everything else on the P is angled forward while the star is perfectly straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean F&F Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 I've re-simplified the logo further. For now, I took out the grey shading and made it strictly red, white, and blue. 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...

Sean F&F Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 With the Patriots in the Superbowl, I wanted to revisit and finish this concept.First, the helmet.White with red facemask, no helmet stripe. 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...
El Scorcho Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 You're getting really close with the face, it's definitely an improvement. You're not far away from a really good logo here.Have a look at the old Appalachian State Logo (funnily enough the one on the left) for a good example of how to draw a simplified, 2 colour face at that perspective.I borrowed heavily from that logo to make this vikings logo for a competition on another forum and it helped me a lot.

Sean F&F Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 I understand people are saying the logo is too complex, but what is unnecessary in my logo?These logos look pretty complex too I'd say?or the Jags. Lots of spots and linesI get the feeling you guys want it more like thisbut I don't know what elements I need to take out. The only thing I can see is a lot of logos have really thick lines. 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...
Sean F&F Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Anyone have any ideas? I'm not sure whats making my logo too complex, but every post say it is. 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...
El Scorcho Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I don't think complexity is an issue anymoreAs you said in the previous post, a lot of logos have thicker lines. Try to bold up your logo a bit and keep the line weight pretty consistent. For example the navy outline should be the same thickness as the white outline it's next to. Redraw the logo with that boldness in mind from the start.As I said before, I really don't think you are far away at all in terms of the look you are going for.
