Wish I haden't screwed mine up. They were really good.. I felt like. I'll explain later how they're screwed up.

Jestor · 03-09-2005, 12:22 PM

#1, #2, and #10 got my vote. Too exhausted to explain rationale right now.

I definitely would have voted for one of yours. I'll definitely include them in the compilation though.

littlechris1977 · 03-09-2005, 01:07 PM

Yeah, I thought I had some good designs, just the stupid error of using the wrong nickname.

gubaru · 03-09-2005, 01:09 PM

I only voted for 11. Using the seven pointed star that the Cherokee nation uses to represent each of the seven clans puts it well above the others IMO.

I noticed that too. I started a logo for this week but never got time to finish it, and I had been using the star as well. I'm glad to see that someone else was able to finish a logo with it.

littlechris1977 · 03-09-2005, 01:26 PM

I would venture to guess that #11 belongs to gmo. He tends to do extensive research for every logo he creates. I think this is a good thing.

jmel07 · 03-09-2005, 01:51 PM

I also only voted for 11. Had I voted for anymore than that, I would have probably voted for about 6 so I decided not to.

Nice work by everyone again this week. Hopefully I can get back into the contest again next week. I just haven't liked the past two nicknames/cities as much for some reason. Inspiration is a fickle mistress

Sorry you had the problems.

Rework and post them in your own thread later.

We always like to see good logos.

littlechris1977 · 03-09-2005, 02:53 PM

I am going to post my Charlotte "CHOCTAWS" logos later. That's the mistake I made. jnshmoo and I didn't notice until today.

Eckstein 4 Prez · 03-09-2005, 04:25 PM

I loved #1, #5, #6 and #11.

Chris - just curious what program you are using now to design your logos? Your last one for Ft. Worth was nicely done.

Eugene Church · 03-09-2005, 05:50 PM

This may be the best set overall...all of them are very well done.

#1...Very fine logo in all respects...well done and even has a baseball...really captures the essence of "Cherokees".

#2...Well done...fine design, colors and font...however, imho it is too small...wish he had used more of the space available and made Charlotte lettering larger and maybe added a few other Indian elements.

#3...Nice logo...great idea for the face and hair on the baseball..but the hair doesn't stand out enough for me...maybe a war bonnet might have been better...colors need to be brighter and more eyecatching like #1, #5, #8, #10 and #11.

#4...Nice colors and font...but the design doesn't grab my attention...but it is technically well done.

#5...Very fine design, colors and font...like the arrows through "CC" and baseball a lot...like the font for "Charlotte" and "Cherokees"...but "CC" looks hand-drawn and might have been done better.

#6...Excellent logo in almost everything...the crossed arrows on the baseball is an excellent concept...really like the font and the placement of the lettering...but "Cherokees" need better contrast...it is hard for me to read...Techically excellent...but really needs brighter colors to standout like #1, #5, #8, #10, and #11.

#7...Excellent logo...really like the lettering placement and the arrows with the feathers...fine font...technically excellent...would have preferred brighter colors...not crazy about the greens.

#8...Excellent in all respects...really like the simplicity of it...fine Indian image...great colors and color coordination...like the feather extending out of the circle...and like the fact that he didn't cover any letters with the feather...imo one should never allow one element to obscure or clutter another element in the logo...this one and #10 are outstanding.

#9...Excellent in everything, but the colors...needs brighter colors...fine design and font...very nice touch with the feathers on the "C".

#10...Excellent in all respects...great colors...great design and great Indian figure...it made me think of a great Cherokee warrior...and the designer even added a red frame/border...I am partial to frames and borders...imho this one and #8 are the superior logos in this excellent set.

#11...Excellent in all respects...period...I might have preferred the arrowheads to be separated rather than place together...I thought it was a seven-pointed star at first...thanks to gubaru...I now understand why the designer did it this way.

#12...Nicely done...I like the Indian ponies on the sides...but the figure is hard to figure out what it is...at least for me...I think it is an Indian, but it is in a strange pose.

#13 Done well...Excellent Indian figure...would have liked more eyecatching colors...wish the war bonnet didn't run into the "Cherokees" lettering...and I always want the name of the city, too....sorry, just my taste...which is not universal.

Thanks to all of the designers for sharing their fine talents and creativity with us.

Great work everyone! All of these logos are good.

Agreed. Also want to say that #3 is one of the more unique entries so far. Nice job!

littlechris1977 · 03-09-2005, 11:06 PM

I started using an old program I had for a while and didn't realize its capabilities. Microsoft Image Composer. Here are two of the entries I have corrected. The others can't be corrected as easily so I probably won't post them.

Dagrims · 03-09-2005, 11:22 PM

I also liked #11 for its use of the canoe paddles. I wonder if a team name like this one would be accepted in today's culture, particularly with a logo containing a mad-looking Cherokee.

#11 also reminded me about this question: why is it that no one asks "what is your favorite baseball club?" yet that's a phrase commonly used on logos and things like that (instead of "baseball team")?

darkhorse · 03-10-2005, 02:37 AM

Logo 11, after some reflection. There were a lot of good choices. I really liked 1 and 5, as well.
