VitorioArts Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The oilers already have a "gear" based logo and this is just another fun idea! Hope you like it! C&C Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1clkgtramg Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 They need this as a shoulder patch for sure. I have always been a fan of the Oil Drop with the Gears on it but not many seemed to appreciate it. This should be a good compromise.One thing though, I believe it was 5 teeth to represent Cup wins, have you tried this look with 5 teeth on it?

My only complaint is the silver, and if this was going to be a shoulder patch, there wouldn't be any silver in the jersey, or other logos. But that's minor I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deked73 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I do like this design, it would be a great shoulder patch. my only thing is the reflection on the oil drop doesnt look quite right . But that could be me. Very good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandMooreArt Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yea the highlight isnt quite right. I think it would be best without it actually, but if you want to keep it round out the bottom so you keep the sphere form if the drop.

JerseyJimmy Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I like it as a shoulder patch, but it could also be the main logo on an alternate uniform. Kinda like the Canes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG89 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 As an Oilers fan, I like this a lot. As previously mentioned, it'd be cool if you could somehow make the number of teeth equate to a number of relevance. Possibly 7 for number of jerseys retired? Or 12 for Hall of Famers? Or 17 (18 if you include Smyth for one game) for the captains. But I really do like this, and I could certainly see them using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastajoe Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 If the drop is 3D, perhaps the gear should be 3D also. Or overlay the team name on the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGM13 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 As an Oiler fan, that's exactly what they need. I agree with SG89 that the number of teeth should have some sort of significance. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_nxche Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Take the reflection away from the oil drop and we're looking at a stronger logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitorioArts Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Sorry it took so long guys! Thanks for all the suggestions! I took deked73 and SG89 ideas and i made another concept. 8 cogs representing the retired jerseys (only if Smythe gets jersey retired) and then i got rid of the off-centered reflection. Hope you like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deked73 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Nice. I get the decision of using the 8 teeth for the gear, sorry to be nit picky but it reminds me of a symbol from star wars for some reason. Maybe alter the shape of the space between the teeth like how you had it in the first logo. bit it does look better without the reflection in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the artist just put a huge blotch of orange in the middle...The problem with dimensions on it is that the main Oilers logo is 2D. The gears on his logo are 2D so the oil drop should stay 2D as well - just like the drop on the main logo. I know it may look better, but then the teeth will have to have 3D shading and then it wont fit in with the main logo.

ujju2 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I prefer the first version. Too plain and flat now. Also it looks better with more teeth. Still looks good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
