Two concepts from a novice that could use some work - Honolulu Nenes/Guatemala Quetzals

Hi all,

I just got back into OOTP earlier this year after a years-long lapse (used to log waaaay too many hours between OOTP 6 and 12). I've heavily borrowed from a ton of the great work on this forum for a 96-team North American Pro/Rel league, but two of my team concepts have uncommon names so it's been hard to find jerseys/logos for them. I decided to try to take a crack at creating them myself with the ootputilities Jersey and Cap Creators. I am decently satisfied with the results, but I think the logos look terrible in-game.

I have zero artistic ability and probably even worse technical skills. I pretty much used the Preview app in Mac to create transparency and used PowerPoint to try to make the logos, in what took me hours to create what would probably take most here five minutes

If anyone would be interested in helping make these look more professional I'd be very thankful.

Honolulu Nenes

Both of these concepts are bird mascots which I am a sucker for. Nenes are the state bird of Hawaii, and I really didn't want anything beach, water, ocean, sun, etc. related.

I used this keychain as my base, and a font I found online called Musubi.

Logo attempts, none that I'm happy with in-game (I've settled on the third one for now, which has a white outline that can't be seen in this post):







Jersey/Caps:







Guatemala (City) Quetzals

The quetzal is not only the national bird of Guatemala, but is also the name of its currency. It also is just a cool-ass bird!

I based these off of this brand concept on Behance: https://www.behance.net/gallery/6503027/QUETZAL-BRAND

Logo attempts:





Jerseys/Caps:









I prefer clean, minimalist uniforms but it just feels like something is missing on everything I created (the text probably could use outlines, for starters)

I think I've reached the ceiling of my abilities on these...if anyone is down for some cleanup work, I'd appreciate any help! Thanks all.
