Adelaide Logo Redesign: 2018

[Dank Academy]

I like the style a lot.

Whenever I come back to the thread there's something about it I don't like at first glance though.

I think it's the size of the head in relation to the wings. But it may also be the claws. Dunno. I'd be interested to see a slightly smaller head or larger wings. It's a bit stumpy or something. It's more obvious on my phone than at larger size.

There's a lot to like though, one of the best efforts I've seen.

Thanks for the feedback - I do see where you’re coming from, especially on the phone. I’ll have a go at balancing the head with the wings a bit more (although it may throw everything off balance even more!). The ‘stumpy’ effect might be the shield, which is still pretty underdeveloped.

To quote Black Panther somebody get this man a shield.

Yep that's great. On the phone may still be a bit stumpy in the beak or something but again getting better and better imo.

I thought that before the shield, and yeah I did figure it may put everything off balance.

I think the large head makes my brain think I'm looking at something that's meant to be cute, or at least aimed at kids. Whereas the style is quite hard.

Yeah I see what you’re saying about the head now, if that could be a bit smaller it’ll be pretty much spot on for me.

Love the work you do in the the thread by the way Dank, great stuff.

I still love the Crow when he's black

I just did a hatchet job which I wont post because its hatchet job, and its danks design but I think shrinking the head works.

Also Dank Academy matching the style of claws with the beak will also help.

And thats enough arm chair critiquing for one day I reckon. Sorry!

Haha that’s great - thanks for the critiquing! Hopefully can nail this sucker

Looking much better. Would be cool to see our heritage crest being used instead of the plain shield and update it to follow the same style you've used for the crow.

Cheers. I’d be keen to update the heritage shield - no way in hell that sloppy monogram is staying on there, though!

I said it the other night so I need to take back my shield again....
But somebody get this man a shield.
Heck, I could see the Crows running out through this on a super large and impressive banner. It's not a logo, it's a piece of art. Have you tired showing you designs to the club>

Haha thanks, much appreciated! In fairness the logo has been a group effort in terms of input and ideas, though... just shows how effective Big Footy can be when people give decent, thoughtful feedback and ideas *optimistic music plays*

I haven't sent anything to the club, actually... would be keen to share them, just need to feel like they're 'right', although I now feel comfortable that this is better than the current logo.

Great work so far, this is way better than the current logo.

Hope you don't mind but i made a few minor changes to your design that I think makes it ready to send to the club

That font! Clearly I'll need to upgrade to the deluxe Adobe package...

I was having trouble deciding between Helvitica and Futra so in the end I paid a graphic design team $50,000 to come up with an original font.
Best money I ever spent.

I'd still prefer a redesign of our 'classic' logo.

Austin Crows based in the US. Mason Cox's brother plays for them. Thought a few of you would be interested in their logo

When is Fagan going to change our logo?

Looking good

The crow looks lot sharper now which improves it a lot.

Am I the only one who sees a middle parted haircut similar to the old bowl cut many of us would have sported back in school?

Personally id also change the blue highlight in the tings to a darker colour or not at all

 

[radiojake]

who were the 11 nuffies who said the current logo is fine?

That middle part is a throwback to the club's 90s roots
Yeah I'm still not convinced on the state of those parts either, but they definitely needs to be there to give 'shape' to the wings.
Thanks for the feedback

Looking great but I think theres something not right with the position of the head? I cant quite put my finger on it but it looks a touch like a kookaburra, a bit stumpy.
