new 'walking cy' logo concept

maybe i should have specified; the point of this was wasn't to design something that would have the best chance of getting implemented by the athletic department. this is entirely based on my own selfish preferences of color etc. basically i just wanted to make something that i thought would look cool. i spent a lot of time going back and forth on every small element, trying to determine where to draw the line between what felt necessary and what felt like clutter. this was all for the purpose of landing on a clean design that looked like it was made with intent, all while maintaining a retro vibe with a longer shelf life. i could tweak this design infinitely, and i knew i would unless i forced myself to call it 'done' and just post it.
Understood. And thankyou for sharing it! I know how much work can be put into these things.

I do, however, want to see it implemented. That's why I do some of these, personally.

If we ever do a new version of Walking CY, yours needs to be the template.

Good luck with that. It needs to be somebody 'with his ear'.
Really? I have emailed him one and he very promptly replied. I am not saying everyone should email him, but I don't feel he is someone that is unapproachable.

Well, yeah, and I've done the same. He is approachable and responds back. He may be changing, but I don't think he particularly likes to spend time thinking about uniform or logo ideas. And he is pretty set on the current color scheme and primary logo mark. I suppose things can change, but ???, I don't know. After that, I think he generally lets the coaches decide what they want, as far as uniforms, within a set guideline.

It's been a while since I've sent him anything. I'll probably send him some ideas in the future, but it needs to be good and something I really like, as well as something others like also. I've sent him some 'not so good' before.
