Overlay Extra Team Logos

[Mr. Wimples]

What about making the letters into the shape of a train? Take a look at RED and BLU: One's a bomb, the other's a wrench. Then maybe consider using some other type of font; RED is kinda classy cursive while BLU has a more calculated feel. Maybe a western-ish font for something train themed?

edit: And I'm all for the train theme, seems to fit better to me

Here are some more logos that strictly focus on Railroad. I also dropped the pointy text and changed the font to a western style like Mr. Wimples suggested. The second one is suppose to have a little train in the R but the size of the picture makes it hard to tell. For the empty space below the curvy logo I could put in a train or maybe train wheels as though the text is the train body.

Make sure to tell me what you think and thanks again for all the feedback so far.

How about the top right one, but with the train facing the opposite direction? In my opinion, the font of the G looks more like the front of a train, while the back of the N looks more like the back of a train.

I recently got back to working on the GRN logo and came up with this

Red logo / Blu logo / List of companies

How does it look?

For YLO (yellow) I was think of going with the full name as "Yukon Longshore Operation", unless you guys can come up with something better.

Yardwork (and) Landscaping Operation?

Yard Leveling Organization?

Yucky Lake Obfuscation?

 

[GPuzzle]

I can't think of any well-sounding word with "Y" but Yard.
Yardplace Logistic Organized.

 

[Prestige]

Clearly, the answer is "No, we can not come up with something better."

But maybe this can help with the hard part.

The edges feel too clean. I feel like they should look more rough, watermarks, overlapping paper rip, etc.

 

[Ælement]

Isn't it supposed to be a metal plate? (gray colour under the scratches, as well as screw-holes)

 

[Sel]

Oh fuck yes

also is that a shoutout in there to the all time best music player

I was worried about that too. I might ruff it up it be more in future iterations, particularly around the logo.

While most of the companies in TF2 do have metal plate signs, some have posters (such as Icarus Airlines). I decided to go with a poster, because I felt that was more appropriate for a radio station. I could make a metal sign too though.

Actually no, just a coincidence. This poster is a reference to Fallout 3 though. The abbreviation GRN is similar to a company in Fallout 3 called GNR (they are also both radio related), so I made a reference to that for fun.

Thanks for the comments and also if people are interested enough in my signs I'll try to figure out how to turn them into the appropriate TF2 file for use in maps and upload them.

shame :3

either way looks nice keep at it

GRN probably makes use of roundedness in their architecture. Verdigris-ridden art deco would work. Either that or it is entirely just nucleus mid, the only structure in the game that uses any amount of green. Clearly, the reactor was built by GRN before their empire collapsed. As for YLO, I personally thought eastern styled buildings would be distinct enough.

I am resurrecting this thread from the dead just in time for the Pacific Pack with my pacific themed yellow (YLO) logo. I'm look for feedback on which style I should focus on and which color I should go with. I want to figure out what combination of icon (Red's bomb, Blu's wrench) and font looks the best. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. (fyi, "Yard" is meant to be short for shipyard; best I could do with the letter Y).

 

[Amidio]

The white on yellow is pretty hard to read. Stick with black

 

[A Boojum Snark]

...augh! In the time between the original posting and this bump, the annoying appearance of YOLO on the internet has apparently made it so I can no longer like any of these when abbreviated that way.

 

[Freyja]

The ones on the first row are best I think; Good logos should have you reading the text (YLO) first, not the design. The design should compliment the company name, not obscure it.
