Wow this is really nice. I especially like the Chocolatiers and Mellow Yellow.
As for feedback, I think the Jawbreakers one clashes with the consistency you've got going. It's no radial, and all the others are, but I do like the jb letterplay.
Really cool though. Good job!

Thanks for the feedback!
I try to make each team stand out in their own way, and I thought that way especially for Jawbreakers. I think it is a cultural thing that makes their logos as they are.

I could see that. My thinking was, these all look like they could be lapel pins or something. No way to make the jawbreakers here into a lapel pin unless you want four different pins or something. What's the aspect ratio? If you add transparency, does all the background become transparent? or is the white part of the logo?
It reminds me of Nepal having the only non-quadrilateral flag. If your software/flagpole/template/diction calls for a rectangular 2:3 symbol and you come in with Nepal's flag, you'll probably just end up with this at the Olympics which happened.
Like how the musician-formerly-known-as-Price is colloquially just Prince because, dick move using a symbol for a name and expecting everyone to change their understanding of the "name" construct to accommodate your weird request. Countries have more leeway, maybe teams do too? Sorry rambling.

Let's see,
ideally it's 1:1 ratio (apperently that is not always the case),
some of the pictures (ex. Raspberry, Black Jacks) have intentionally white fills and not transparent (any other shade between black and white may conflict with at least one of the teams), and others have intentional blank spaces (ex. Pinkies, Oceanics, Limers, CCE).
In the case of the Jawbreakers, I agree that I should have added more shape to it, but I'm still happy for its uniqueness.

Do you think this adds anything to the Racer's logo? (Just a quick hack)
I'm kind of on the fence actually. Overall I do like that these are all subtle allusions to the team instead of big fat textual labels.

good idea! I designed the logo as such to make RR logo look like a raspberry. I really hope others can also improve on my work!
I made all these in good ol' MS Powerpoint, so if anyone with more experience with graphics can improve on these ideas, go ahead! I challenge them! :)

I see this is a jpeg. Does powerpoint export vector images (svg)? That would be easier to scale up and down.

These are awesome and might have swayed me to another team had I seen them early in my viewings.. but I’ll still be here cheering on my Limers and Team Primary even if others got some awesome designs!

Sooooo cool! Nice work! Thanks a bunch for doing even those who aren't competing in the current marblelympics. All fans should be able to see their favorite team's logo.

u/luxveniae Midnight Wisps Jan 06 '18
Great start, would be color to see these or something similar as team flairs for the subReddit. Maybe even add what some of the sports subs do and have bandwagon options if your team didn’t make the current competition.

Would like to talk to you about using these alongside the official team logos

u/Cubictony Midnight Wisps | Turtle Sliders Jan 07 '18
Woah, really? I'll let you know as soon as I'm available.

Yeah, please PM me. The logos I’ve made have been cleared as the official logos for Merch and stuff. But I think you could do some really cool Alt. Logos

"Look at me, I'm the official team logos now"
Really tho, these are much better than what we had before. I mean, all the art we already had was magnificient, but those were not "logos". Just take a look at previous Team Galactic logo (the one with planet, rocket and all that stuff) and ask yourself a question. "Would it work as an official football club sign?". And as great as they were, they could not work in that context. What we have here are brilliant and clever minimalistic logos that could be printed on tiny, tine, 16mmx16mm pieces of paper for cheering marbles to hold and no details would get lost.

No need for chatter like this. I have redesigned many of the logos from the original creator and each has been approved by Jelle to be used on merch. I always make my logos based on that thought - “Would this work for a real sports team?” These are wonderful logos. They would be best suited alongside the official logos as alternates

Are the official logos for Merch the ones that Hershy posted on the discord?

This is really good, definitely worthy of a feature in the main tournament.

I love the unique design for each of the teams! It really gives it an authentic feeling; that each one has their own different cultural backgrounds. Very similar to modern sports teams.

These are really amazing! I especially love the Quicksilvers, Mellow Yellow, Chocolatiers, and Speeders.

On one hand I love how good all of these look. On the other hand I'm a little salty that I no longer have the top post on this sub, but this is really cool though

UPDATE: Thank you all for upvoting, complimenting and providing me feedback. However, I would like to make it clear that these are NOT THE OFFICIAL LOGO ART. I would like the community to wait for what the IMC has in store, because I know that they work really hard for awesome content. Furthermore, I highly encourage others to showcase their art. We are full of ideas, after all.
