Portfolio NEAFL Re-imagining

[Bryce_Jersey17]

So I've been contemplating this for a few days, having seen the leak for about a week now, but I'd love to get people's opinion.

The University of Western Sydney is having a rebrand to become Western Sydney University. Now while this won't change the design much, it does affect the logo. So my question is this; Do I keep the UWS Giants moniker or change it to WSU?

I'd hate to be a nuisance, but do one for each

WSU. Look to the future!

I was thinking along those lines and put it in a gif or something to show it changing. It's simply a switching around of letters (if it works)

Well now that my assignments is out of the way for the time being, I can upload my idea for Sydney University. As always, Id love to hear and recommendations and such. But first, many thanks to Saint Mick for his providing of documents and files regarding USYD's clash policies and logos.

The logo here is a recreation of the Uni's logo and their sporting logo combined. Im not as happy with this as some of my other logos, and am happy to change it, but Ive changed the book and given the star more prominence. In hindsight, I should probably re size them.

The current home and clash guernseys are perfect in my opinion, and so Ive kept the idea of a yellow home and white clash. However, the hoops are now watermarked and Ive given The hoops around the chest colour in blue and white. The clash is a white version.

Missed the mark there, not very USYD at all.

How so?

 

[Mr Eagle]

Yeah, not feeling the watermarked stripes. Needs more colour in the body of at least the home jumper - as you mention, the bar is pretty high with this mob for starters.

 

[fumbler]

Home needs more blue, either more blue and white stripes or a solid blue number.
Needs to have yellow clash shorts.

Love the clash strip. Would be quite happy to change it from our current one tomorrow but our current one is very popular so I'd have no chance of getting that through. Home probably needs a little more blue for my liking though! Glad to hear that you think our current strips are perfect as is - it's taken years of template tweaks and changes to get to where we are, even down to the stripes on the shorts which have changed a few times. Only thing I'd change is to have white in the alternate socks but it's hard enough to get blokes to bring the right shorts to games let alone make them think about socks as well!

All of these jumpers are excellent mate. Really good stuff all round.

Great first post, 7/10 would read again

And we're back! The final installment, way too long overdue. The last piece of the puzzle is UWS Giants, in all their youthful glory. Taking on the 2016 mantra used by the GWS Giants "Stand Tall", the logo is suitably tall. I used an arrow pointing upwards to make this, continuing the idea that the Giants are heading up the ladder to the top. Underneath is "Giants" in a similar font that their parent club has used in the past.

​

On to the home guernsey, it was designed to hark back to the days of the V, that some still think GWS should've adopted. The old Team GWS jumper and a past UWS jumper can both be seen here. This design takes on the Tri-V and the logo intruding but using to new logo in its place. The side panels have also been used with an outline, so as the break up the colour a bit on the back.

​

The clash/away kit is a more GWS kit in its use of orange but doesnt have strange parts where the orange and charcoal dont meet correctly, which has been replaced by a shoulder panel on the back. White shorts have been used mostly to lighten up the kit a bit more but also because orange didnt look so great with it (this could be easily changed though).

​

And thats it! I will go through and change some designs that need the change, especially some that received certain critiques, so stay tuned!

A great concept but it is already out of date as you know they are the WSU Giants now (still sounds wrong to me).

I was originally planning to do one for UWS and then WSU, but the irritation that making the logo caused in the first place convinced me not to. I might do it later though

 

[Mr Eagle]

There's something about the UWS font that bugs me.

West Coast manages to blend serif and sans serif, so I don't think it's that. Maybe the letters just need to be a bit bulkier?
