The Ranger Combat Dive Team wanted a logo that had a bull shark that was made by spelling out "Ranger", this is what I came up with. I think it will make a rad patch for there uniforms & training gear, but maybe not with the dive flag colors. Thoughts? Feedback and Comments most welcome & appreciated!
Something about the fin made by the "R" just doesn't look right. Also maybe the "N" should extend upward to the tip of the dorsal fin as opposed to the "G"? It looks pretty nice otherwise, I like the composition and bold type with the simple shapes.
Wow really nice work on the 'Ranger' type and mark, very clean! I don't know how I feel about the other type though, the roughness on that clashes a bit with the amoothnes of the Ranger type. Also, since that shark is pretty badass already I'd simplify the suroundings a bit more. Nice work here Mike :)
I love this man, but just a note that when i first saw it, i assumed the head of the shark was an "S" so it took me a few times to figure out what it said and i actually didn't get it until i saw the name of the shot :s maybe it was just me being stupid though...
@Rich Smith I can see where that might get confusing? You think I should separate it fromt he "R" all together? 'Preciate the feedback yo!!
@Yassine Bentaieb So by "simplify the surroundings", are you saying just have the sark by himself? get rid of everything else? or different font choice for the "combat diver part" I am down for what ever makes this the best it can be. Thanks for the feedback bro!
@Jason Carne Thanks for that suggestions bro I will rework and post. I kinda of agree, I think I just did not want to mess up that cool little tip on the top fin. Thanks for the feedback!
@Mike Jones i actually think the opposite - maybe the head needs MORE of a join than it does currently? the space between the head and the "R" kind of define the head as a letter as you have spaces between all the letters. Just a suggestion though man, i'm no brand guru... just calling it the way it appears to me :)
@Mike Jones I'm not sure, I really like it as it is, and in color it looks even better. But I guess you could try stripping away stuff and see if you can make it cleaner (like this but better: http://cl.ly/GULk).
But you know, cleaner doesn't always mean better, so it depends on the direction you want to take it, just experiment a bit :)
@Rich Smith I gotcha bro! Take out the line and make the head the spine of the "R". Good idea will see what it looks like on the repost. thx!
@Yassine Bentaieb I dig that version bro. I will repost with the changes to see what that version wil look like, again many thanks for the feedback fellas!!
