O awesome! Ill know on saturday whether or not I can go.
Nivo was asking me about some stuff relating to the logo and shirts, and I took the opportunity to make a few fixes.
- The Capitol Building wasnāt centered; it was also tilted a few degrees along with the whole crest itself.
- The font choice for the bottom text was jagged and distracting, and doesnāt match the rest of the logo.
- The combination of a .jpg and what I assume to be scaled up images in photoshop lead it to be very pixelated and rough. I remade the entire thing in Illustrator. I donāt think I cheated all that much by using live trace on a few bits, since the original images used for the creation of the logo were live traced upon their creation.
- Neither stars nor nautical stars compliment the design very well, so I added laurels, which I find to be much more fitting since it matches the curved nature of the bounding shape, instead of contrasting it with harsh unnatural angles.
- Regarding how large the text size should be underneath, if anything it should have been smaller. With a shape that tapers down into the text, having the line the same width as the whole thing is very awkward.
Also, regarding the name of the club as a whole, should it be capital or capitol? The Capitol Building in the logo implies that it should be the latter, but Iām not going to change it.

It is capital and not capitol because we are talking about the city and the surrounding states and not just the building or form of legislature. As for the stars I put in was just an idea since so many wanted stars and it was mentioned having only 2 nautical stars on both sides. I didnāt make the original design. I thought having it blank was the best way to go and just make the building bigger but laurels donāt look any better either and for needing a simple design they introduce a lot of angles. While stole more curvy to the design as you are right. They still donāt quite fit. Even if you make the laurels with less bend to match the curve. The building itself isnāt symmetrical and is not drawn perfectly. But thatās why I liked the original so much. Itās like a teenagers freehand drawing. I mean what is a YoYo, but a toy. And shouldnāt the symbol represent a that childlike essence to match. Not to much but a little. To perfect and we might as well be making biker jackets to match. Lol. Iām probably overruled on this but better drawn, bigger, bubble building inside would be fine with me.
Having the laurels match the curve of the crest would look terrible. The idea is to have non-detractive accents, not an object that invites you to notice how much empty space there is. Matching the curve opens up the space in beside the building, and takes away the emphasis on the center. Note how it leads in and out along the edge as opposed to just riding the line.
Also, the problem I had with the stars were the /harsh/ angles and lines they introduced. Laurels, while introducing more angles if you wanna look at it that way, are still a relatively pleasant and non-jarring shape. They are also tighter together, much like the formation of the building with the columns, making the composition consistent. The idea is to have an accent, not something prying for your attention.
Note that I was talking about how centered the building was, not how symmetrical it was. Look at the bottom corners of the original versions compared to my edit and youāll see.
