NOppenheimer Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Palms Coast is a fictional Nation I made up. I made a flag, soccer crest, and kits. The presentation is here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/17700497/My-Nation-Palms-CoastPlease check it out guys, if anyone feels like making their own country (or already has), it's okay if you post it here. Thanks!

TheGiantsFan Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 My entire Hand-Drawn Baseball thread (except for the Bay Area stadiums) is set in a fictional country, so I guess you might be interested.As for your soccer concept, I really like the simplicity of it all. However, I just feel that the shield is too plain. Mayne consider adding something in that huge, empty bottom part. BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know your hand-drawn thing was in a fictional country, I guess because saw your Bay Area stadiums. Anyway, I'm glad you like the kits. Do you think a soccer ball design would work on the crest?

TheGiantsFan Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hmm, maybe you should put some palm trees into the shield because your country is Palms Coast, so it's a no-brainer. Soccer balls seem way too common. BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critical Thinker Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 On the soccer jerseys, I think you should make the stripe with stars horizontal to match everything else for more consistency. It's _____________ and Toledo still sucks.[insert time here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keel Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 It could just be me, but the soccer crest looks a little lopsided. The slanted line on the left looks longer than the one on the right. I think the idea itself is solid, though. Fix up the shield, and maybe put in the soccer ball design that you were talking about, and you got yourself a nice crest.

mamiller99 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 The stars are skewed a certain way on the badge, if you want inspiration on the badge, look at the international ones. I would like one kit to be different from the other ie. America's Bomb Pop vs. Classy Collar. The keeper kit is jarring, which is like most keeper kits, so you're good on that. Mainly, just some small changes and you will be good. That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, you're the designer, and you have the liberty of accepting my C+C. I also appreciate you not using white. That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whittier S Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 This statement breaks my heart: "Flag--The flag of Palms Coast is a black stripe on a teal backround with three teal stars on it. It doesn't have much of a meaning--just a design."National flags have SUCH deep meaning, are usually overlaid with multiple layers of meaning (for example, the colours of the US flag each have a specific meaning, but they were also taken from the British flag, so two layers of meaning right there). I'd give a lot of thought to what you'd think the history of this country would be and start from there. Then let the kits spring from what you imagine is the culture of this country.

Palms Coast is by the Ocean and most cities have a modern feel. Te colors remind me of how I envision it being.How did you come up with the name for your countryI used this magical thing called a brain. Originally this name was for a made-up city in California that I used for a OOTP league I used to play in. Anyway, when I was thinking of a name for my country, this came to mind.

NOppenheimer Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hey guys, I'm back with a new (and improved) crest. For some reason I can't get it to come up bigger. Sorry.
