This set was the tightest of the three so far.  Despite having slightly fewer submissions the races were extremely close.  



The league is coming together...one more division to go.  We already have a good number of submissions with more on the way.  Uniforms are on the horizon.  With the Owner Draft just around the corner..start getting those wish lists ready.

Hey, just so you know, I didn’t actually design the Destroyers logo, I just sent an idea to Gritty.

Overall I liked this group a lot more! There were several great options to chose from for a couple teams, which is always good. I didn't submit any this time, none of the names got my creative brain thinking hard enough to work, but I'll be back in the Central Division! I think the league is shaping up very nicely, my biggest concern right now is actually something that popped up in the AltHL as well: Gritty has created 8 of the 18 logos so far, and due to the nature of logo design, they tend to look similar to each other. I'm not at all saying that the logos shouldn't have won, Gritty is insanely talented, but I hope the next division can bring a touch more stylistic uniqueness to the league. I think the team I'm most excited to see is Kansas City, Scarecrows is a name that can lend itself to some really neat designs.

Quick edit: Gritty, is the Steelheads wordmark based on the Falcons' wordmark? It looks really familiar and I can't decide if it's closer to the Falcons or Seahawks.

That's the Falcons word mark.

That's what I thought. It works really well here.

I also feel you on 'logo diversity'.  But honestly it has a lot to with numbers.  I submit probably two for every team (one for me and at least one for people submitting ideas) - to give some choices.  The good thing in the AltFL is that a lot of my ideas that have one the credit can be shared with the ideas of someone else.  So while it may look similar there is a lot of collaboration happening, which is good.  Not a huge deal but I see what you are you saying.
 

Yeah, I think it would be solved if more logos in total were submitted. The logos themselves look great, I think you're supremely talented, and it's good to know that most of them are collaborations. Mostly I look at the eyes of logos like Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto and I can't help but notice the similarities. The Steelheads logo is a nice change of pace and looks unique (I honestly couldn't tell it was you until I read the credits) and I think it comes back to the eyes. It's a good thing that my biggest complaint is "they all look so good and have small similarities" and not that they look bad.
