Louis Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 http://www.charlotteindependence.com/ They're running a fan vote to decide on which logo to use. There are twelve on offer: http://imgur.com/a/hxPlX#0 My personal preference would be for the year that the team was established to be included instead of the year that the city was.

crashcarson15 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My personal preference would be for the year that the team was established to be included instead of the year that the city was.Ah, but that's not the year they've presented us with.Charlotte was settled in 1755. 1775 references the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence which may or may not have happened to become the first such declaration in the United States.Hence the nickname.FWIW: The Independence are a new team starting up in USL PRO next year, having bought the Charlotte Eagles' license to a club in the city.Like all of these options, really, though this one is my favorite: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Some really nice options there. I'd have narrowed it down to 2 or 3. With 12 you have a a real chance that the winner has less than 20%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Did a little bit of digging on the source code and you can see larger versions of the logos with this link:http://www.charlotteindependence.com/images/logos/logo4Ball.pngJust replacing the number 4 with whichever version you want to see.

pagan696 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 the Eagles had a nice logo and color scheme. This new ownership group will have a nice opportunity to grow minor league soccer in Charlotte again with the Memorial Stadium renovations and new association with the Colorado MLS team.

With 12 you have a a real chance that the winner has less than 20%.Agree with this 100%, and I think there are a few that stand out as well as a few that could easily have been eliminated. I myself am partial to this one: HURRICANES | PANTHERS | WHITE SOX | WOLFPACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Ah, but that's not the year they've presented us with. You live and learn, I didn't even know there was a Queen Charlotte 'til I heard that the city was named after her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 This is my favorite.The ones with the script "Charlotte" look too much like beer labels to me.

Mr. Bojangles Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I like the logos and the team name tying in to the history of the City. Hard to decide which one I want to go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 12 is a lot of choices to choose from. Hell they'll probably pick one that doesn't get the most votes or do something completely different anyway. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

$teauA Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 http://charlotteindependence.com/Official unveiling scheduled for February 11. You can see they've made some small changes to the fan winner based on the different edges being shorter/rounder etc. Hopefully they made the "CHARLOTTE" font bigger.

-kj Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 If the updated version is the black-and-white filing, that looks even better. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

$teauA Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 If the updated version is the black-and-white filing, that looks even better.That is indeed the case. The word is that the colorized version will be primarily navy and tan (not sure what happened to the burgundy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$teauA Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It leaked! I like it, very sharp for a USL logo. I'm not a big fan of the crown/soccer ball thing at the top as a design element. I think it ends up looking like neither. The "lightning bolt dirt" under Captain Jack could be confusing as well. Overall though I really like it and while the name is a mouthful I love how it incorporates the history of the city. I hope Charlotte will really get behind these guys and maybe in the near future we can see the Independence face the Union or the Revolution in MLS.

patsox Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 They just announced on Twitter that this will be the logo:Bit of a curveball seeing as the teaser image they had been using was in the shape of the logo posted in the post above this.

Whoever runs their account has a sense of humor. The logo leaked (with the USL rebrand that was announced today) and so the Charlotte Independence account wanted to have some fun with the fans. The leak is indeed the official logo and it will be announced at a team event tomorrow along with stadium information, ticketing, jerseys and other misc stuff.
