The length makes it more dynamic and implies movement without being corny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term "Wild" left it open to interpretation, while Hawks probably doesn't have as much wiggle room. But I agree, I'd also like to see something more like the Wild and maybe a little more abstract than a straight hawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a straight hawk has way too much abstractness for one gender, he is a Fighting Hawk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77iceman Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 putting together some suggestions from people here . . . but really just doing what i want to do because nobody is paying me for this Adding some colors from the Sioux era makes this a little more interesting, and might even get a slight smile from the die-hard "Sioux or nothing" crowd. but whatever. i'm just havin fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77iceman Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 So the yellow, black and red were the accent colors of the feathers in the Sioux head logo. And in the way I used them in the hawk's head, we could read as war paint on the hawk . . . hence a fighting hawk. We just wouldn't tell anyone at NCAA level that. To them it would just be some colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think adding anything takes away from the dynamic simplicity of your concept. Edit: Maybe adding the bottom pice is a good thing, just not with the other colors.
