My Team Logo

Concept 1:


Sport: Ice Hockey
God: Phoenix

This concept tries the communicate the skate element of Ice Hockey, but also shows the sport as being quick and precise. The blade has been incorporated into the Phoenix by replacing it's wings with blades.

Concept 2:

I tried to combine the look of a Ice Hockey helmet with a military helmet to portray the sport as being rough (and slightly violent). The phoenix has also been incorporated into the design.

Concept 3:

The Phoenix represents immortality, so the ice hockey stick is rising from the ashes, which represent the fire of the Phoenix. The phoenix was known to be reborn from ashes when it died.

Trends and Designers.


Expression, fun and honesty.


I feel a lot of the graphic design and the conference was about showing the passion and enthusiasm of the designers. Work that is fun and shows a sense of honesty and freedom of expression rather than a straight cut serious image with a specific meaning. Work that pokes fun at what it's advertising and take itself too seriously. Two designers I felt showed this the most in their work was Claudio Kirac and Chris Doyle.

Vintage and Retro Illustration

Two designers at the conference showed their vintage illustration works. I have noticed this style of work becoming more of a trend in within the world today. The artwork references fashion, colour, shape, technology and the stylisation of people and imagery from different periods of history ranging from the 30's to 60's.

Dean Gorissen

Dean Gorissens's illustrations are heavily influenced from around the 60's and 70's using very stylised characters, shapes and colours reminiscent of that era. 

Stuart McLachlan

Stuart's work is more taken from 20 and 30's poster design using flat colour and and neutral colours.

Concept Evaluation.


Christopher Doyle Identity Guidelines 2008

This is a style guide designed by Chris Doyle which uses himself as a person instead of corporate identity or logo. 


I think it has been very well made and an excellent concept. It works well because it pulls off the look of a real style guide. The simple graphics and type and the consistent photography give it a professional style.


The concept itself is very clever. The guide defines Chris as a designer and a person, his style and what he likes and dislikes. The guide represents him and explains who he is. I think this design clearly conveys the concept due to it's simplicity and honesty.

Aboriginal Motifs

Functions and Philosophies.


Principles and protocols.


Respect.
The rights of Indigenous people to own and 
control their heritage, including Indigenous 
images, designs, stories and other cultural 
expressions, should be respected.
Customs and protocols for respect vary widely 
across the many and diverse communities of 
Indigenous Australian people. Respecting 
Indigenous rights to cultural heritage includes 
the following protocols.

• Acknowledgement of country.
• Public art - acknowledging land.
• Accepting diversity.

Indigenous control.

Indigenous people have the right to self determination in their cultural affairs and the expression of their cultural material. There are many ways in which this right can be respected in the creation, production and exhibition of art. One significant way is to discuss how Indigenous 

control over a project will be exercised. This raises the issue of who can represent language groups and who can give clearances of traditionally and collectively owned material. To consult effectively and gain consent for use of Indigenous cultural material in a particular project, the Indigenous people with authority for specific stories, geographic locations, styles and imagery need to be identified. Speaking to the right people is very important. Indigenous communities, whether regional, urban or remote, have an infrastructure of organisations and individuals who can advise on a range of issues – including guidance about locating Indigenous people with authority to speak for specific Indigenous cultural material.


Moral Rights and Issues


When referencing Aboriginal motifs designers should take in consideration the following.


1. Artists have the right to have their name attributed.

2. Artists have the right to have their work wrongly attributed.
3. The right of integrity.


Inappropriate treatment might also include cutting or destroying a physical artistic work or cropping a reproduction of it when reproducing it in a magazine, or reproducing it in poor quality.

Native American Motifs

Syracuse Chiefs

Minor League Baseball - New York

Logo History

1961 - 1979

1987 - 1996

1997 - 2006

Current logo

2007 - Present

This is the current logo used for the Syracuse Chiefs. Native American imagery is no longer used as in the earlier versions of the logo.


It's design mostly type based with a train illustration. The logo is dynamic the type creates a flowing feel. Both the type and the blue and grey colours represent the vintage looking conductor uniforms


The concept behind the logo is that a 'chief' could be a train conductor which is represented by a train. The blue colour represent the old style train conductor uniforms. This is more culturally acceptable than the previous Native American logo.


I think the logo works well. Everything looks clean and well produced and I like the way the train connects in with the type.

Salt Lake Winter Olympics 2002 Logo

Unknown designer, 2002
Vector graphic logo

This is the logo used for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. The design is dynamic using diagonal lines to create movement. It also uses symmetry which gives it balance. The orange creates hierarchy over the blue and draws the eye from top to bottom.

The design is primarily shapes made up of geometric lines using strong complimentary colours and is very dynamic. All these elements and principles give the design vibrance and a sense of visual action. Which represents the winter games. It’s good because doesn’t portray the winter games and something too wintery, that being cold and bland.

The style of this logo is could be classed under geometric abstract art and modernism because of it’s geometric shapes and lines and vibrant colours.

The logo is a snow flake which is representaive of the winter period obviously being the time of the winter games. The orange over the blue could represent sun rising over the snowy landscape (the blue).

I think the logo is succesful because of it’s simplicity and while it’s abstact you can still understand what it’s portraying.

Western Bulldogs Jumper

Unknown designer

Vector graphic logo

This is the Western Bulldogs AFL Jumper with logo. The design is symmetrical which creates balance. The strong red line reates a vocal point which draws your eye across the jumper.

The design uses both line a shape to create a simple design. The colours are obviously an important part of the design because must reflect the team's official colours.

The design is reminiscent of modernism because of the heavy use of line and bright primary colours.

The logo represents a bulldog, which is the team's mascot and symbol. I can't really identity any other themes or motifs. The stable design might represent the team's strongness.

I think the design is successful because of it's simplicity and eye catching colours. This works especially well when in a fast paced game such as AFL when visibility might be low.
