Viola73 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Long time viewer, 1st time post. So this Will be ugly. But here it goes.Found this on the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) site, and thought this would be a good challenge. I'm still going to enter the contest even though I'm not Canadian. I thought I would let you guys know about it. Have fun. Ottawa, Ontario ? As the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) nears its 100th anniversary, it is embarking on some of the most exciting projects in its history.

While all would agree that it is important to connect to the past and maintain equity in the current design, it is time to look forward as well.With this direction in mind, the CSA formally invites the Canadian soccer community to participate in the process of generating a new look for 2006 and beyond.

Avenger Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 You have to have a Canadian address to submit an entry? Booooooooo! What? They don't want us no-good Americans taking their jobs? Their non-paying, cop-out jobs?"As the intent of this process is to include the Canadian soccer community in a fun project, there will be no compensation provided if one of the entries is selected."Weak sauce.

DEAD! Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Despite those American rants, I think a new Canadian Soccer Association logo is long, long overdue. Their current logo is outdated and I have been waiting for years for them to change it. I just hope they don't do what Australia did and call it "fooball". One thing I would like to us from the current logo is a partial maple leaf outline. Maybe they can try to emulate the Hockey Canada logo. I saw, I came, I left.

Cashcleaner Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Changing the CSA logo?! How could they?! Seriously though, aside from the CANADA text, I think it's a pretty solid-looking logo to have for the national team. Thanks go to Eddie010 for the Signature and Avatar. Nice work, mate!

lost_limey Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Even though, I'm not Canadian, and sort of-kind of like the logo they currently have, I thought I'd try my hand at a logo anyway.That bottom bit is meant to be a soccer ball with maple leaf panels, but as I have the artistic ability of a retarded yak, it might be hard to tell.

DEAD! Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 It's a nice logo, but I don't think it should say CSA, it really should have CANADA on it. It's also not the best marketing strategy because it may cause confusion with this: Also, I'm not a fan of of maple leaves on the soccer ball I saw, I came, I left.

sbirgells Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Not a Canadian citizen, but here's my quick take:http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/sbirg...dian-Soccer.gifConglomerating the obligatory leaf with the fleur-de-lis to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
