Bayne Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I understand the argument about the vast majority of NHL teams having logos that in some way represent their name...but I wish there were more that didn't. I love ambiguity in logos and I think Columbus (again, while I don't think it's the best logo in the league) do this nicely. It gives their identity and extra layer or interest.I once had some friends who were in a band and they called themselves the Violet Flames. When it cam time to design their first album cover, the bassist was in charge and he came up with a bunch that looked great but none of them had any violet in them whatsoever. I questioned him on this and he said it was more classy, and thought provoking if they didnt have violet on the cover. It makes people wonder what exactly the name means rather than spell it out for them. I've always remembered that and I totally agree. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksupilot Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 A fun project along the lines of the NHL minimalist logos would to design simple Literal Logos for each team...IE Blackhawks would feature a black Hawk, Blue Jackets would feature a blue Jacket, Canadiens would feature a friendly looking guy eating Tim Hortons , etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMcD29 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 my only complaint with the logo is that it has absolutely nothing at all to do with the name blue jackets.i like when they look civil-war-like. the star wrapped in an ohio flag just looks like a logo for the state capital (which columbus IS... granted), but it has nothing at all to do with the name blue jackets. at least the cannon logo does. as does the cap logo.it's not a BAD logo... i just wish it was better. it's boring. would be great for a team called the ohio stars. or the columbus capitals.Also do not directly represent their name..And if some of these didn't date back 50+ years they would also be called "boring".How is a P with a wing not representative of a team called the "Philadelphia Flyers?"Are they the Flyers or P Wings? Seems dumb, but without knowledge of the Flyers existance, I don't think the team name is obvious from looking at a P with wings. Though I'll admit I debated whether to put that one on there.I get the idea behind the Flying P logo, but it actually took me 18 years to realize that's actually a P Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelfourThibault Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 .....Emm ell bee (kiddie speak): 9 or 10 depending on who's countingNFL: 8 or 9 depending on who's countingNBA: 8 or 9 depending on who's countingNHL: 6 by my count.....Side note, but why does it bother some people so much when you refer to MLB by the letters? No one seems to care about "ennn H ell" or "enn bee ay", but MLB is kiddie speak. Not picking on you, but I've seen that mentioned (specifically here) a ton of times.Otherwise, I do agree with your comment as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that because an old curmudgeon of a poster started a thread to voice his displeasure at the growing use of the letters MLB and used the term "kiddie speak" to describe it. I like to write out emmellbee whenever possible because I think it's such a silly thing to get crabby over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29texan Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Logos don't need to specifically reference the team nickname in order to be an effective logoBy sport here's how many don't specifically hint to the team name in each sport:Emm ell bee (kiddie speak): 9 or 10 depending on who's countingNFL: 8 or 9 depending on who's countingNBA: 8 or 9 depending on who's countingNHL: 6 by my countIt's not a prerequisite by any means.Wow, I truly didn't realize this until now...

Roger Clemente Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 What's wrong with this picture?The fact that the logos are shown in alphabetical order, but every 6th and 7th logo is shifted to the row above it.

zpqmaowl Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Bruins wearing white at home against Toronto's thirds. the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I hope to god those don't become Vancouver's full time third's. Why they haven't made the current third the primary with a matching white is beyond me... That is one of the best looking jerseys in recent memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 It's not one of the best jerseys in recent memory. It's a good jersey but the logo should be bigger on the chest and those stupid ugly obligatory shoulder patch logos should die. And I have never loved the collar. I do like the stripping pattern though, more than the home jersey. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
