Competition LogoOTW 23: Fremantle Dockers

[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.

The idea I had would've used existing art, I've always wanted them to bring back the docker and incorporate the chevrons, without the anchor.

Wish I could draw!

 

[El_Scorcho]

Wish I could draw!

Practice makes perfect! Nobody here could draw at all the first time they had a crack, and an anchor/chevron based design doesn't require a lot of drawing.

Seriously I was absolutely terrible and it took me several rounds to make anything that wasn't total garbage.

The entire reason I started this competition was so people could practice their logo skills so that when we had a competition like the NAFL, we didn't just have a league full of recoloured logos from other leagues.

[El_Scorcho]

First draft

 

[chibimatty]

I can see where you're going, trying to eliminate it looking like a letter "P" yeah?

 

[theGBexperience]

First draft

i gont get the 'P', the anchor looks sick though man

 

[El_Scorcho]

I'd like to be able to not have the outline outside of the anchor and just have the anchor as negative space, but I couldn't get it to work nicely.

I've left it for a bit and i'll come back to it.

 

[El_Scorcho]

I could do it like this but I really wanted a one colour logo if I could get away with it, so the colours can be reversed easily.

 

[El_Scorcho]

This might stop it looking like a P a little bit...

[lmach]

What program do you use theGBexperience?

 

[chibimatty]

I wonder if you could face the anchor the other way? This mock-up I did is rough-as-guts, but the idea is something like this?

 

[El_Scorcho]

Very interesting.

I'll have a crack when I get back to my PC

What does this anchor look like coloured white with the purple outline?
