Competition LogoOTW 32: Chunichi Dragons

[El_Scorcho]

Welcome BACK to Logo of the Week!

Each fortnight, you will be required to produce a new logo for an existing sports team. That team can be a club or representative side from any competition, anywhere in the world.

10 days will be allowed for entries, with 4 days for voting.

This competition is designed for us all to practice our graphic design skills. We want fresh and unique ideas and entries. Use this competition to try things you've never tried before. You'd be surprised how easy things can be to draw when you sit down and give it a go.

There will never be too much of a design brief beyond the club name, so let your imagination run wild!

Rules:

- No stolen artwork! This is THE central tenet of this competition! Everything in your logo must be 100% drawn yourself, either in your graphics program of choice or on paper, and scanned in. Or even a combination of both! Under no circumstances are you to use an existing logo from elsewhere as part of your design.

- There is no limit on how many entries you can make, provided they are unique. If you are going to have multiple entries, make them different from each other or they wont go in the poll. Post entries in this thread.

- The winner of each fortnight will choose the team for the next competition.

A bit of an obscure one for us Australians, it's a Japanese baseball club.

However, the scope for a bit of fun design is huge! The existing logo is this little guy:

Plenty to work with on this one! Heaps of scope for a great logo. We have both eastern and western dragons, both of which have so much cool imagery to work with.

Good luck! Draw that dragon everyone!

 

[Barrybran]

Damn. That's a "**** it, it's Friday afternoon" logo of I ever saw one.

 

[El_Scorcho]

It looks a like a lot of the Japanese baseball logos are cutsey little animals.

Must be the same reason pokemon look like they do for the most part.

Because they all started life as baseball mascots?

Points to anyone who sings it

Here's the dragon in Mascot form. I'm having a crack at a bit of a reimagining now

 

[Fizzler]

Sorry but the way his foot is there looks a bit phallic.

 

[chibimatty]

Always thought the Chunichi Dragons had the worst logo, but the coolest team name in Japanese baseball.

 

[El_Scorcho]

I've finished my dragon, but I've just had a blackout so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to submit it.

Really looking forward to see what people come up with for this one. Huge scope.

The feet were dumb and they had to go

You have the chance to redeem yourself, but you have to submit an entry this round

 

[fancyscum]

I've just traced a sketch I had from last week when I first picked Chunichi. Not 100% happy with it, but I can't pick a team and not even post a design for it.

 

[Spanna_]

Just wait till Friday Scorch, I'll have something in.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Poll goes up next time I get to my computer so now is the time if you want to enter

 

[fancyscum]

1v1 me El_Scorcho, rust only.
PS Hope you win so it's not on me when no one enters next week.

Honestly I think the choices of the first two logos to redesign have been the cause for the drop off in entries. Huddersfield was a tough design to work with though people did do some decent entries, but this one was just a bridge too far.

If you are going to get interest in a competition like this, you need to start easier and allow those who want to have a go but don't really have the skill to create detailed or difficult designs a chance to work on something that would then allow them to use the skills they learn on the easier designs to then begin to become more advanced.
