Description
This is part of a series of logos I'm making where I take a pokemon gym and create a fictional sports team logos based off of the gym, the city, and a pokemon the gym leader uses. This logo is part of the fourth set of logos I'm doing which is based off of the Sinnoh region. The previous sets can be found here.
This is the thirtieth one which is based off of the Canalave City gym, and I've named them the Canalave City Crashers. Bastiodon is the pokemon I've chosen.
For each logo I'm going to be trying to keep the number of colours to a minimum, so the logos reduce to two colour well. I'm also aiming for heavily stylised in most cases, so logos might be text heavy, or contain images that look nothing like the pokemon in question. I hope by the end of this to have some really nice logos.
The idea for this logo came to me straight away after looking at the pokemon I chose. I especially liked how the look of Bastiodon matched with the idea and the name. I could just imagine Bastiodon crashing through something as it tried to smash its' opponents. The segregation caused by the nose and horns is a bit of a concern but it's not so much that it makes the logo unreadable so I went ahead with it. I was also trying to spice up the colour palette a bit with some gradients in the text and nose/horns/teeth, but the more I added the more it looked over the top. That's the problem I'm running into alot at the moment. Because I've done so many of these now I'm trying to spice things up by trying different things but the more I add the more I don't like the result. It might be that it just doesn't work or it might be that I just suck at making logos over the top. I'd like to think it's just years and years of looking at good and bad logos coming into play

Taking note of something I just typed, this is logo number 30. Wow, I did not expect to have it this far in this amount of time. And that can really be taken two ways. The first way is that I honestly thought I'd be done by now with this project, but I was a bit naive when starting this. Firstly I did not realise how many gyms there were. Secondly I did not realise how many gyms there were. Because of that the goal I had for myself was just not achievable unless I dropped everything else I was doing, which just wasn't feasible. So I was just ignoring facts and being overly ambitious.
The other way to take it is that I'm still going with this project. Usually when I start a project I have something I can do in a reasonable amount of time. However, if I start something that starts taking too long, or I just lose interest in it, I stop that project and move onto something else. I've done this a few times when it comes to doing stuff in my own time, so for me to have come this far in this project is a really great achievement for myself (plus I really really like this idea and want to complete it).
