A logo request for an expansion team

nightfly · 04-22-2021, 06:36 PM

I have hunks of something I kind of like, but days of trying to assemble them in an editor makes it all look worse, somehow. I'm now getting sick of it. My reach exceeds my drawing ability - at least as regards making a good-looking logo out of the drawing.

The team is called the Bonnevilles, based in the Salt Lake City area. (For the sake of fictional uniform makers everywhere, they'll be called the Utah Bonnevilles.) I have a blue/gold color scheme in mind, to represent the ground and sky of the salt flats, and a stylized red car with checkered flags on either side.

I fiddled with making the staffs of the flags into baseball bats, and you can see from the assembled sketch page below that I was wondering about a shoulder patch/alt logo. The jersey could just have the wordmark, and the hat could have anything - the B from the wordmark and the flags on either side, maybe an interlocking "SLC" since that's where the team will play (and just "U" looks kind of dumb).

Can one of our actual talents come to my rescue here? I'm not committed to the precise colors, but I think the logo can work as described and shown. Much thanks!

I'd love to see Tx's take on this one.

I saw this yesterday and may work on it some today if time allows...

Utah Bonnevilles

Here are a few takes on the logos...

txranger · 04-23-2021, 04:29 PM

Another take...

WOW, Ranger. Fast and sharp. This is where I fail - these look clean and professional, and mine look exactly like the sketches they started as. I don't have the graphic artist chops to turn them into something so clean. Also your car is nicer...

Right now, Calgary and Vancouver have just started, so next season, when Utah (and Las Vegas) round out the two-step expansion, I will post the jerseys and caps.

Awesome

txranger · 04-24-2021, 08:17 AM

I'll get to the uniforms in the next day or so.

txranger · 04-24-2021, 07:28 PM

These are very sharp. Can't thank you enough Ranger.

Was looking for a Salt Lake look and this one is astounding. Had to dredge it up.

I’d be tempted to move them to Michigan and call them the Pontiac Bonnevilles.

pgjocki · 03-17-2022, 09:47 AM

These are fantastic, just great work
