I can't create the fine work you do, but sometimes I think I have a pretty good eye.
I noticed on your work that you did for me, that the color contrasts occasionally could be improved and the logos would look better in the game.
I did not ask for you to revise them because you revised so many of my Islandian Pro Alliance logos... I thought it would be too much to ask you to revise them further and greatly impose on your good nature.
Looking at the ones you just posted.
On the Pawtucket Mighty Stags, I think a brighter white would create more contrast and the other colors and images would be enhanced... they would stand out more.
No problem, if you don't see it my way.
Posted below are two logos you did for me... yours are on the left... mine are on the right... since I am very limited in graphics ability -- all I could do was change the colors -- the ones on the right are not perfect, but it was the best I could do.
Everyone may not agree, but I think the ones I revised have better clarity and contrast and will look better in the game.
Kevin, I really love the IPA logos you updated for me... the Ozarka Naturals are brilliantly created and designed... they were exactly what I wanted.
Thank you for your great work for me... you made my IPA much better graphically.... I wish you made jerseys and caps, too.

Hey Eugene!
Well I was just working with the color palette you provided. I wasn't happy with the proximity of the blue tints but figured it was what you wanted.
White is going to naturally be the best contrast for most darker colors.
I think its important to remember a logo or badge is meant to evoke a feeling and a mood as much as convey information. I like to play with those ideas a lot. For the Pawtucket badge I was aiming for something there with both the look of the badge and color combo. Burgundy and light blue are a common color combination. Adding white instead of blue to that would completely change the mood I was going for with that.
You'll also notice I never use pure white. To me it has no emotion and evokes nothing. That is obviously a personal preference but all of my whites have at least a touch of yellow, brown, red, or even are a bit foggy because those colors all have character.
That's all to say, we all have preferences. You should have told me at the time what you wanted. I never mind doing revisions.
