Competition LogoOTW 11: West Coast Eagles

[El_Scorcho]

Welcome to Logo of the Week!

Each fortnight, you will be required to produce a new logo for an existing sports team. That team can be a club or representative side from any competition, anywhere in the world.

10 days will be allowed for entries, with 4 days for voting.

This competition is designed for us all to practice our graphic design skills. We want fresh and unique ideas and entries. Use this competition to try things you've never tried before. You'd be surprised how easy things can be to draw when you sit down and give it a go.

There will never be too much of a design brief beyond the club name, so let your imagination run wild!

Rules:

- No stolen artwork! This is THE central tenet of this competition! Everything in your logo must be 100% drawn yourself, either in your graphics program of choice or on paper, and scanned in. Or even a combination of both! Under no circumstances are you to use an existing logo from elsewhere as part of your design. As per the Williamstown comp, i'll allow existing workmarks into the competition provided they are part of an originally drawn design.

- Entries are limited to one side being no more than 300 pixels, with the other edge unrestrained. You may post a hi res version if you wish, but the final poll will be judged on 300 pixel entries. If you don't provide a 300 pixel entry, you wont be in the poll.

- There is no limit on how many entries you can make, provided they are unique. If you are going to have multiple entries, make them different from each other or they wont go in the poll.

- The winner of each fortnight will choose the team for the next competition.

First draft

Obviously this borrows heavily from the eagles original logo. I'd package this together with a rebrand to wings only guernsey designs and the dropping of navy.

I want to get some gold into the wordmark somehow but my brain isn't working.

The original eagles logo is so freaking beautiful. Timeless, sharp, simple, elegant, strong. It's everything a logo should be. The fact that it's nolonger being used must give eagles fans the same feelings of lament I get when I think about my club not using the prison bar guernsey in the AFL.

I saw this as soon as I posted it here.

I've thickened up the white outline between the beak and the head to match the eye. My Jokerit entry was a clusterfrack of inconsistent lineweight and i'm never making that mistake again

 

[Cory]

It's now 'Est. 1986' El_Scorcho. I've also changed the font, I feel this one looks alot less robotic in a way.

I like it but I'm not a fan of the eye.

Should make it more stylised like the original and current eye imo.

I like the change of font and the left one is a lot better imo.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Have a lot to do at the moment but if I get a chance I'll give it a shot.

Which one did you want to enter Cory? No rush if you're waiting for feedback, just let me know before the comp closes.

I originally had the eye smaller and flatter like the original and current logo eyes like this

But I couldn't get it to a point where I was happy with it.

Is the above more along the right track do you reckon?

I'd love some feedback from others as well.

Thanks and yeah I like the left one more too.

Most likely the one on the left, The right one was just a idea of adding Ochre to the logo. And wanted some feedback on which one to enter, I'll submit a pic of the left one soon.

That looks better but the eye doesn't really look fierce, try giving it a meaner look (not sure how you'd do that though).

 

[Stromageddon]

Feedback? I worked real hard on this

 

[El_Scorcho]

Needs more costa watermarks

 

[Cory]

Feedback? I worked real hard on this

Looks shit.

 

[lmach]

I think it looks alright. When did Costa become a mod? It seems he edited his watermark onto it.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Okay so i've been playing around with the angle of my entry.

The one on the left is basically horizontal and i've shortened the head

The original on the right is angled up a bit.

Which is better? I feel like the original is a bit more dynamic but i'm not sure whether that's better or not.

I was being sarcastic fwiw.
