I was led to believe by the topic of this thread that i would be presented with reasons and explainations as to the relative detriment to logos that this particualr one caused.

You, sir, are in violation of that expection, and I demand my 2 minutes back!

Are you saying that it is your opinion that "SUPER-FUGLY" does not constitute adequate explanation or reasoning? If so, I will have to respectfully disagree. :upside:

As for the substance, I know I am in a very small minority in saying this, but I really like the Fisherman. It was used on really ugly uniforms, but something about the scowling guy in his foul weather gear actually works for me, believe it or not. I also like the "view from below" perspective of the wordmark and the hockey goal.

Best non-used logo besides Bucco Bruce.

...which are both pretty lousy.

I agree about the lighthouse, though. It'd make a great crest logo.

The Gorton's Fisherman jersey is so, so, so, so much better than their current third jerseys it should be brought back as their alternate jersey right now.

My minority seems to be bigger than I thought. :D

You have to admit, that isn't really a shining testimonial. ^_^

I don't think the Islanders fisherman logo was ugly at all. I think it's a very good logo.

But it was a very good logo with two huge problems:

1. People associated the Islanders with the old logo. Association with fans is what it's all about.

2. You expected to be seeing fish sticks instead of a hockey team.

Not to hijack the thread or anything, but I through this together - a comparison of the original lighthouse secondary logo, and a newly recolored one that uses the current Blue and Orange, but changes the Teal (they called it "Atlantic Green") and Metallic Silver to a Light Blue and Light Gray:

Lighthouse: good.

Fisherman: beardy. and bad.

I like the simplicity of the current jerseys.

I just noticed that the secondary logo I used was the one from theSLE...it was not the "real" one...someone traced it and made a vector out of it. I found the "real" version...I'll modify it and replace those images with the correct versions...

EDIT: it's fixed now. Also just noticed that the logo at the top of this thread is also a "trace" job...

Wow if that took you 2 minutes to read, you must have some serious reading issues to work out.

other than that the gorton's sucked and lighthouse good, but would be better with different colors, preferably using current set, not the light blue more associated with Rangers.
