Thoughts on new AFC Logo

[jhausman]

Hello all,

Here is where you can voice your opinions on the new look of the AFC. We are very excited about the new logo. We hope you like it. We know that everyone won't. But that's how it works. Everyone has an opinion. Feel free to share.

Buttons, Stickers and other gear will be coming soon with the new logo on it. Also, new website will be up and running soon!

Cheers!

Jason

Fred,

You seriously have too much time on your hands!

I'm just glad that after you butchered it you came back and said you liked it. Otherwise, well, I'll just leave it at that!

Jason, it took me about 2 minutes, so not a lot of time. Personally, I really don't pay much attention to logo's, they are just artwork to make folks like Nike and Michael Jordon rich! LOL

Sorry, I don't like it. I want it to show a bird with jesses on it's feet, flying to the glove, lure, or sitting on the glove. There is no 'picture tells a thousand words' message on this ogo. IMHO, It's just a 'bird' inspired artsy thing. Texas Hawking had some re-do's of their logo and had the membership vote on the finalists. I think that would be a better way to do it. A logo should describe the organziation visually, as well as the wording.

The goal was to step outside the box and create a logo. A brand. Not a picture of a falcon stamped in a geometric shape or over a state (or in this case The Americas). Please know that there is nothing wrong with that. We were just looking for something different. We brought in an internationally known design firm so that we would not be a bunch of falconers acting like designers fighting over "it should be a gauntlet, no it should be a goshawk, wait, it should be hooded!" kinda thing.

This it the new brand of the AFC. We are very excited about it. It would be VERY difficult to please everyone though!

Thanks for your opinion! I hope it grows on ya!

Hey Jason, I just wanted to let you know that your (the real) picture of the logo isn't showing up for me. And I can only see one of the pictures in the other thread. Don't know if it's my computer or something with the link. It ends up as a white box with a red x.

Opinion time. I don't particularly like it. It's okay but not great. I would also be concerned with smaller things (pins, patches, etc.) I had trouble telling what it was at first glance on a larger picture. I don't know what it would look like on a tiny pin. The "wings" look like leaves to me. I think it would look better as a generic hawk shape with the words in a circle around the picture. I think it would shrink better and get a clearer picture across to people who see it.

Respectfully,

well I would tell ya what I thought but for some reason I cant see it

[crbhawking]

well it's simple and a little catchy I think with the words under it, it gives it's point. It could be more detailed, but for a small logo on a car or badge it's fine, any more complex and it will be too jumbled and would be hard to print in small sizes.

I guess that means i like it. I like the shirt too. and the jacket. And a hat would be cool.

The logo should have been red white and blue............
