Logos/Ballparks for Australian League

lstephen666 · 02-27-2005, 04:26 AM

Hi all,

I am starting a fictional league (solo at the moment, but may go online down the track) set in Austrlia. I was wondering if there was anyone out there interested in creating some logos and/or ballparks for the league. I also need a logo for the league, as I am about the most graphically challenged person around.

The league is called the "Australian Professional Baseball League" (APBL).

The leagues are the North featuring:

Darwin Crocs - After the numerous Crocodiles that patrol the rivers in the area.
Brisbane Heat - After the sunny weather that frequents the area.
Sydney Surfers - After the numerous Beaches and a national pastime
Canberra Capitals - The nations capital.

The South League:

Adelaide Sensation - After the governments tourism slogan, "Sensational Adelaide"
Melbourne Storm - After the stormy/rainy weather.
Perth Swans - After their main river and the state's fauna emblem.
Hobart Devils - After the Tasmanian Devil

Thanks a heap guys.
I would also be interested in ballparks without the backgrounds, so that I can easily add one.

Here is my attempt at the Darwin Crocs...

illeracula · 02-28-2005, 09:46 AM

Here is my attempt at the Brisbane Heat...If I have time at work today will try some more.

illeracula · 02-28-2005, 10:51 AM

Did two of these...hope you like.

illeracula · 02-28-2005, 10:52 AM

Used Taz, hopefully thats okay.

illeracula · 02-28-2005, 10:53 AM

Here is my attempt at the storm. I used the Storm logo, since I like it so much...could try something different if you'd like.

Eugene Church · 02-28-2005, 01:00 PM

Remarkably well done, illeracula...and you do them so quickly, too.

illeracula · 02-28-2005, 01:57 PM

Here are two attempts at the Swan. The first one includes the official Emblem of Western Austrailia...Hope you like.

lstephen666 · 02-28-2005, 06:56 PM

Thanks heaps illeracula. Those are great.

I hate to ask for more after the effort you've put in but do you reckon you could put the Crocs logo on a white background (consistency with the rest of the logos)?

Also I think I meant to say Swans not Swan. My bad. I reckon if the logo just used the Swan from the WA emblem instead of all the Kangaroos and the Crown it would look cool. With the rest it just seems a bit "English Royalty".

I love the Crocs, Devils and both Surfers logos (I probably prefer the second one, but that may change with my mood), but the Storm one would be my favourite.

Thanks again, keep up the good work!

That Perth Swan with the Kangeroos is amazingly good.

illeracula · 03-01-2005, 11:05 AM

Here is the Darwin Crocs w/ a white bckgrnd

illeracula · 03-01-2005, 11:06 AM

Here is an updated Perth w/o the crown and kanagroo's....and the team name has been changed to swans.

illeracula · 03-01-2005, 11:44 AM

Had some free time...here is an attempt at the Adelaide Sensation...

illeracula · 03-01-2005, 03:35 PM

Its not great, but I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?

It is not my logo request...but if you are asking for suggestions from all of us:

maybe you could work in a capitol dome building in it to signify the national capital.

lstephen666 · 03-01-2005, 05:27 PM

Thanks again illeracula.

I actually like it. I was actually more worried that there would be nothing that could be done for Adelaide Sensation

If you want to try something else Eugene's suggestion of the dome is good, but based on the shape of Australia's Parliament House instead. I can't think of anything else from Canberra. Parliament House sort of dominates the skyline there.

Don't know how many people know what that looks like, so here's a quick picture: http://www.australianexplorer.com/photographs/australian_capital_territory/canberra_parliament_house_2.jpg

That's magic stuff, irrecula.

On a ballpark thing, when I can't find a proper stadium image, I download one of Henry's fictional stadiums that has a grid around it. That gives you a small square that I fill with a shot of the city or skyline.

For example, this is what I use for Marseille:

illeracula · 03-02-2005, 02:02 PM

Okay, I took your idea's and surfed a little and designed a little and came up with two more concepts...Here you go.

illeracula · 03-02-2005, 02:03 PM

Not a huge change, but a little modification...

Eugene Church · 03-02-2005, 02:33 PM

Great job on the Capitals revision, illeracula.

Why don't you submit logos in the Logo Favorites competion?
