DMA101 sports logo

This is the beginning stage of my sports logo. I choose the NFL team Tampa bay buccaneers logo. It had a unique look and I figured I would have a little fun doing the logo and also I would get more familiar with the adobe illustrator program. At this stage I traced the outline of the flag and also the nob of the sword.

At this stage I added a different layer which would be the inner red of the logo and also the red strip on the handle of the sword.

I added another layer which would be the outline of the skull on the logo in black. I also aged the while part of the upper part of the skull. The challenge I had at this stage was to get the teeth right I just had problem getting the shape to look like the reference. 

At this stage I added four different layers:

·         The blade of the swords

                                                               ·         The football and the lace, I had a slight problem getting the lace to do properly tracing a jpeg image is somewhat hard.

·         The black lines on the blade of the swords 

At this stage I added a new layer which would be the word buccaneers; the word was traced in black. This stage was fairly difficult because the font they used was not a part of the program so I had to trace it took approximately 45 minutes to trace.

I added another layer which would be the read shadow of the word buccaneers. I realizes it would take the shadow was exactly the same as the black layer so I copy each letter and resize them so they fit in place.

This is basically the end product of my sports logo (Tampa bay buccaneers). At this stage I incorporated all the layers I used to display the full image of the logo. The biggest challenge I had while doing this project was getting the right color of the logo, it actually took me hours to get the color to looks similar to the actual logo.

This is a comparison of the original logo and also the logo I created. The color looks somewhat similar the only difference is the red color of the flag it is a little lighter than the original, actually after I printed the logo the color came out perfectly.
