kevsim1 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Howdy guys! I present to you here, my very first logo attempt on Inkscape. I've been playing around for a while, finally got inspired to make a logo, took a few days, BadaBing BadaBoom. Here are the Dubai EarthqUAEkes, hockey (I think) team based out of the UAE's most populous emirate. Of course, notice the pun in the team name. Nothing too much to say, main colours are the from the flag, double brown included, I'm thinking just for logos. With this name, I definitely needed to keep curved lines to a minimal.Primary logo features some prominent script, letters all tossed around, the UAE part corresponding with the flag. The Burj Khalifa can be seen tumbling over in the background.Yes the monstrosity can withstand an earthquake.... but when an EarthqUAEke comes along, look out! Alternate logo, nothing really to explain, D for Dubai on a chunk of earth. Again, the wordmark, nothing too different.The country's flag will be used as a patch.That brings us to the tertiary mark... that is the palm islands, one of the 2. Iconic from the city, overhead view. That logo will very likely be inverted to a ton of different colours along the way.Without further ado, the Dubai EarthqUAEkes!

jaker52 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Too many colors doesnt make a strong identity MUNCHEN LOWEN (WAFA) GULF SHORES OSPREYS (IBL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Way too many colours. A logo set in which the different elements don't relate to each other. Too detailed. Linework is too fine. The Burj Khalifa would shrink to nothing in a smaller application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake3roo Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 ^^^ Agreed. Also, Earthq UAE kes just doesn't work.. It's cool, but awkward to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Yeah, the name EarthqUAEkes is a little forced, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoe12 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I like the idea here, but EarthqUAEkes is a little too much. Stick with the same idea you had, but just change the name to Earthquakes. As for the logo, as the others have said there are too many colors. See if you could cut it down to three or four. I also think the Burj Khalifa should play a more prominent role.

Whittier S Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I think the Burj Khalifa would fit best as negative space within the wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsim1 Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Back at this, wanting to keep going until I have something worth showing off. So yeah, colours. Are we thinking keep the "earth-y" double browns, and maybe add a brighter colour in there with it? Just the patriotic green, red, black and white? I'm also undecided about the Burj Khalifa, whether it becomes a part of the primary or not. I'd love a few more opinions before I start reworking. Thanks guys.

kevsim1 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Yep, take 2, need some help because it's missing something. I did really agree with the size issue with the Burj Khalfia, but I feel it could appear back in the primary soon. Ideas??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsim1 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Kinda hate to do this, but slight bump. Thought I had a decent start, and I'd like to get this to a solid concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoe12 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I think that in taking out he red black and green you took away the coolest part of the concept, which was the UAE flag in the wordmark. I would suggest changing the color scheme to red, black, green, and tan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevsim1 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 So get rid of EarthqUAEkes, but still use the flag patter in the wordmark? Or are you just talking about the patriotic colours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoe12 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Keep the flag pattern in the wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
