Just a Test Logo

[pepeda]

Hi,

just created a first Logo from the Scratch. Any Feedback is welcome. Also critic is more than welcome, as it help me a lot

Here it comes the first "drawn" logo:

regards Pepe

P.s i know its not a finished Logo in the sense, but i like to know if the way is okay

[cephasjames]

You drew that? Wow! Excellent! The only critique I'd have is don't use a brown background - and that's just an opinion?

[knuckler]

It looks awesome Pepe.

I hate to even add anything, but I will even though I could never do anything that good. I would make the outside lines a little bit thicker to help with the contrast and also so that if you shrink it for ootp they will still show up.

That is an excellent logo. No if ands or buts. I especially like that it breaks out of the ball-logo template that has been used to create a number of logos on these threads (note: I am NOT knocking the ball-logos in any way. I love them and use many of them in my own leagues. All I'm saying is that I am delighted when non-ball-logos pop up for a little spice.)

[StorminZ]

That's excellent!

What program did you use to create that logo?

[endgame]

Nothing short of terrific. Excellent work as always.

That is superb...outstanding...excellent.

I don't see any way to improve it.

knuckler's suggestion may be a good one, if it looks differently when made smaller for the game.

WOW, great job!!! I'm curious as to what program was used as well.

Hi,

i´m using an tryout Version of Illustrator, but i guess any Vector Programm will work for this one as well. Some use Corel Draw which is very similar to Illustrator. Don´t know if can buy Illustrator (expensive ) but the Tryout is okay to see what you can do.

And thx for the nice Feedback, if anyone here know to make the Text look like a Sport logo i would be more than happy (maybe Cuss !? )

regards Pepe

P.s i will Post my second Logo in the next Reply

[pepeda]

So here is the Second Logo created by myself. Funny thing about it, i started with the intention of another thing but, it ended up with an "dark Evil"

Just look and let me know

regards Pepe

[Claymore]

another nice one, although a bit "darker" (lol) than the last.

Very well done, Pepe.

But not my type...I like the traditional type logo...this is a little too evil for me.

But as always, you are a very talented logo and banner designer...one of the best on the forum.

Nice work pepeda, great first try, much much better than what I came up with on my first go. I don't really know what makes a logo looks more sports like, I am just not a good teacher. I would say that try and make it more than just a line of text. Try to somehow relate the meaning of the text to the characters. So in this case, you may wish to add a wing on the "s" or may arch the line of text so it looks like the curve on a wing?

Don't worry if you don't understand what I am saying because just reading my own post again, I am not even sure what I mean myself. Like I said I am a horrible teacher. Again great work and I am sure you will find your way to improve the logo if you just keep working on it.

[edog23]

Good job! I like both of them.

[knuckler]

The second one is awesome Pepe. The only bad thing is if you shrink it for ootp, the text might lose something. Other than that I like it a lot.

[pepeda]

Thx for the Feedback Guys

I have made a small revision on the First one. Added some kind of action to the Text /thx Cuss/ . What i´m asking is, how did they do those great looking Text. Cuss i saw some of your concepts, i mean the Sunray Logo, how did you do that great looking text!?

thanks Pepeda, I don't know what to tell you, there is really nothing to it, I just drew it. That particular sunrays logo took quite a bit of time because of the amount of detail in the text, but I think in the end it turned out pretty cool looking.

oh and my art teacher in highschool always said to look at things in shapes of colors instead of lines. I didn't realize what she meant back then, but it's actually a very helpful tool to get me to conceptualize and simplify things the way a logo should be.

Pepe, great work! One other thing is your hawk is sharp and crisp. Make your text likewise. Try and use sweeping curves with sharp corners. Also make the text wider than the logo, it will give a better flow. Just a suggestion. Nice first stab.

Thx Cuss,

i guess its hard in the start, but i will try to improve. When i see your work, i actually feel like a little boy, your work is more than amazing. On the other side your work is a great guidline to work with. Maybe you could send me your artwork as eps file so i can look at your technic. But if you don´t want to give away your work i will also understand it. Thx for the help

Hi Deft,

thx for the suggestion,
i will give it a try. I think the Text Layout is one of the trickier Part of the Logo Design , (my opinion). I will have to learn a lot till they look as good as other ones.

Thats why i like this Forum, great Feedback from all and pointers to improve the work. I like it

Thx Guys keep up the good job here.
