Also gonna post some stuff in the near future, so stay tuned.

Big project in progress! Sorry for the wait!

Seattle Mariners Concept

Hey friends! It's been a while!

So the Seattle Mariners' current look sucks. In my opinion, it's the worst set in the league. The colors don't look good together, the font sucks, and there is too many outlines. So i took the team on trying to make the look cleaner, and connect them more with the other Seattle teams. 

First, I changed to a navy and green color scheme. Seattle could easily be in the same vein as Pittsburgh with their team colors, but the Mariners use that aqua color. The compass look is good, so I kept it around. I redid the whole thing, no bevels or anything. I put the ball on top and tried to be really simple about it while giving it a bolder look. The red pops I feel, but it's the only red in the entire set. The script is modified from a font. It would be the one thing I'd change, but I like how it looked as a finished script so I kept it. The uniforms are also pretty simple, I didn't d anything too wild. Originally, I had a tan color, and wanted to do a cream Sunday alternate but decided against it.

  I also made myself a new personal logo!

Vancouver Canucks

I've been working with a friend on his rebrand of the NHL. To show what I was thinking for the Canucks(and proving the V-head logo is vastly superior) I made this! Added navy to the set, and made a V striping pattern on the hem. Since this was a quick concept, my original idea was using a Millionaires alternate, which is the reason I put that logo on the shoulder.

New York City FC

I did a crest for this new NYCFC team coming to the MLS in 2015. The 5 pinstripes are a nod to the borroughs and the Yankees, but the team is predominately light blue for Manchester City. The ribbon wraps around to give the logo depth. I put a NY monogram(from a possible future project?) to give the team it's own identity from the Yankees. Both kits are a mixture of both parent clubs. The home has pinstripes on a light blue shirt, representing both teams. The clash kit is very simple and classy, representing both teams. The whole set has meaning behind it, really.

Oklahoma City FC

Oklahoma City will make the jump to the NASL very soon the way it looks. I took inspiration from the Western Sydney Waderers with a circle, with a monogram and words, no inner circle. The crest is a dreamcatcher, like the state flag. Pcgd did the same thing, and that was one of the concepts I looked at to get an idea. Dgnmrwrw did something similar before too(I think). I originally used Thunder colors, but replaced the navy with brown to be unique, and frankly it just looked better. The kits are simple and Nike-esque. The current crest and uniforms are pretty bad, so I had nothing to look like and had free range to do anything.

Self promoting

So as a project, I'm restarting up my sim NASCAR league. I found a way to import schemes in the game, so everything will be completely custom and cool. if you want to follow along, click this link!

Logocast Cup Series

Maybe sometime this week, I will post the reason my concepts have become scarce. Believe me, it's the biggest project I've ever been involved with.
