Nugget799 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hi all,I have been running a fantasy fictional baseball league for a number of years now and within the last few years I have been paying various members of this board (and some off of it) to design logos for the various teams and leagues/divisions in my fictional universe.I am currently in the process of updating a team called the Blanchester Wild whose current logo was designed by CJ Zilligen and would like some input on areas I could improve. Baring in mind my ability in logo design is somewhat limited (I'm far better at drawing maps!) but I'd love to hear what you think.Current logo (CJ's design):New logo (my design):Personally, I'm not too sure on the outlines and I don't like the wonky line on the 'B' in the top left (I used the font Poetsen One from dafont).

1clkgtramg Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The curviness of the "B" takes away from the chiseled look of the inside. Make the outline the same thickness as the detail inside and it will look a lot better. I would definately work on chiseling the B shape though.

upperV03 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The original logo looks far better and cleaner IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget799 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 I feel by thickening the outlines loses the 'B' and looks too squarish (is that even a word?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 why do you feel like the original logo needed to be changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1clkgtramg Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 why do you feel like the original logo needed to be changed?.I second this. The original is spot on. The update you just did is better than your first B though US and World License Plate Redesign - Fixing the Elite Ice Hockey League - NHL to Soccer Crossover - European Hockey League Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget799 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 I can't place why I'm not in love with it. I'm not sure if it's because of the '8-bit graphics' design, or whether it doesn't pop like a primary logo should. To me it feels like a great secondary or sleeve patch but not a primary. Particularly compared to the vast majority of the others logos through the association it just seems a bit weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodshackzac Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I like the current way more than the new. You should just stick with the home plate one. FC BAYERN MUNCHEN-MICHIGAN STATE-THE DETROIT FOUR-WASHINGTON REDSKINS-LA LAKERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 It's probably the angularity of the lines in the original that's giving the "8-bit" feel. Some gentle arcs would help. Also, and this is just my thinking, the logo seems really busy, especially for a baseball logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1clkgtramg Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Maybe have one of the mountains to the right form the indent for the "B" to make it flow better and look more unique US and World License Plate Redesign - Fixing the Elite Ice Hockey League - NHL to Soccer Crossover - European Hockey League Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake3roo Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I honestly thought the original logo was great. If it aint broke, don't fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
