Last Winnipeg Mechs Concept. Promise.
Sorry I guess I’ve fallen in love with the idea of a sports tteam naming itself the Mechs. I also keep thinking I can do a better design - I STILL think that - sorta scary. Usually I am happy to get the idea across, not too fixated on appearances.
Anyways I went full-on Manga for this design, and I think it looks great. No blacks or greys and I think that helps the design immensely. Here are a few variations as well:
Fortunately we can put this whole Winnipeg team name nonsense to bed this weekend, when it is expected True North will annmounce the name of their team. Sadly their draft pick will be given a generic NHL jersey and cap at the NHL Entry Draft, which is also being held this weekend in Minnesota.
Back to regular programming here at Dave’s Geeky Ideas. If there is such a thing as ‘regular’ here.

It’s an awesome design, but I’d hafta say that it’s just too complex for a sports logo.
Just having “Mechs” as a team name will automatically make the logo more complex, but yours is just a bit over-complex. A real challenge would be to simplify it and still make it look as good.
Yeah that’s what I said way back in the first Mechs post. Mechs are complex, simplifying them for a logo would be a huge challenge - it’s a tough balance. Plus it feels like it has to a be a full-body logo, or else the feet are left out and those are so Mechy.
It can be done, just wanted to make something cool - previous efforts seem ugly to me!
