Graphics Challenge For Our Great Logo Designers

Eugene Church · 05-09-2006, 03:25 AM

I wish you guys would create some logos for SION.

The SION logo in the game could use some improvement.

I would love to see what the fine designers here could create.

Go to it, guys.

Show SI what you can do.

Don't use anything that is copyrighted or trademarked.

Suggest you use colors that would coordinate with the OOTPBB2006 screens where the SION logo is displayed. See the screenshots that Marc Duffy puts out each day.

SI uses Red and White in the game.

Suggested colors:
Red with White trim
Red and Black trimmed in White
Red, Black, Light Gray trimmed in White.

Or create your own color scheme.

I won't be around for about two weeks.

I will comment on your designs, when I get back on the forum.

Hi EC,

here is a try for this one. Any Critic is welcome

regards Pepe

pepeda · 05-09-2006, 11:58 AM

And here is one with an another color for the middle.

Cooleyvol · 05-09-2006, 12:43 PM

I've got an idea for a tweak of pepe's logo, but I don't think I can articulate it to him, so I'll try it when I get home later and post it.

ukhotstove · 05-09-2006, 01:25 PM

Not being a logo guy so not knowing if it would work or not, but were you coloured it in the middle what would it look like white but with baseball stitching.

pepeda · 05-09-2006, 03:37 PM

What about that!?

regards Pepe

P.s @ukhotstove : Thx for the input and the idea

Tyke · 05-09-2006, 05:29 PM

Great work, Pepeda. I really like it with the addition of the stitches. Great idea & great execution!

Eugene Church · 05-09-2006, 09:20 PM

Pepe, You need to work on the stitches on the baseball...they don't look like stitches, they look like nails or tacks...or screws.

I don't really care for the red/blue claw like elements above the baseball stitches and just below the stitches. If you keep these two elements, reverse the direction of one of them, so they are going in opposite directions...it would give the logo a sense of motion.

Or leave them out and see what it looks like...it would unclutter it.

Otherwise the logo is nice...especially the SION letters...excellent font and colors...like the way you made the SI standout.

Game over if pepeda's doing it.

I like the second one, with the color in the middle. I would be against using the baseball in the logo. I mean...why? They have other games besides baseball. Would you want to see a cricket bat, or whatever they call it, on the baseball program? I say no. Gotta keep it general. Nice job pepeda....looks great.

Cooleyvol · 05-09-2006, 11:00 PM

Pepe,

I actually like it as it is.

Nice work.

Hi EC,

here is Version with better( i hope so) stitches.

And for the others: Thx for the nice words. Any work done ,by any typ on contributor, here in the forum is superb, and i guess the work would not be so good if we would not have those many people commenting the work. It personaly help me a lot to make the thing better or even to change some points in the work.

Thx again for the feedback

gbmoore121 · 05-10-2006, 04:36 PM

Looks great Pepe!

dcpcarmona · 05-10-2006, 07:01 PM

Looks terrific!

Cooleyvol · 05-10-2006, 07:20 PM

I like the first set of stitches as well, if not, better.

For OOTP 2006 though isn't it least think it is with what I can gather, personally I think any one of the logos pepeda did would be great but my personal favourite would be the last one.

truthserum · 05-11-2006, 02:57 PM

I get it now. I re-read it and he was speaking of a logo for just OOTP. I was thinking it more on a general term.
