IceCap Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Guys. They built a cartoon around it. It's modled after Disney's famous cartoon duck. It's cartoony. That's not a bad thing, as has been pointed out. It's just what it is. I'd rather the argument be "it's cartoony, but it works" rather then trying to argue something that's clearly not true.I like it, and the white mockup above, save for one detail. The D. It just doesn't work. It doesn't compliment the primary. There's a style clash. I would replace the D with the OC mark from the Stadium Series sweater. It ties in with the number font and help the team claim orange because of the "Orange County" connection. My one nitpick.

M4One Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Not really a huge fan of the OC logo. It's kinda lazy. I still like the webbed D so I'd keep it around for an alternate jersey. Also, it isn't absolutely necessary for them to have a shoulder logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 My quick and very crude attempt at what a white version of the Ducks' 3rd would be by switching the gold with orange on the sleeves. This way there is more than a just a little orange. Forget about the orange on the collar and the bits on the nameplate.It's just that the bronze doesn't look as good when it touches the orange.

It ties in with the number font and help the team claim orange because of the "Orange County" connection. My one nitpick.I think the mask and the D compliment each other well enough, but then again I'm used to seeing them next to each other all the time. I'm also starting to think this could work without shoulder patches at all.The OC patch kind of worked in the context of that Stadium Series matchup, but beyond that it's tacky and unnecessary. For one thing, it looks like they threw it together in two seconds. And although they're in Orange County, it's not part of the team name and that would bug me. If they were named the Orange County Ducks* I wouldn't mind that so much. An AD monogram like on the black and purple third could work. Or something with just an A, preferably not involving turning the D-foot on its side because that really, really doesn't look like an A.*That would make the team's acronym OCD, and speaking as someone with traits of the disorder I would find that absolutely hilarious and fully embrace it PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The regular uniforms have both logos so I'm not sure what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I just wanna point out some things in the logo that bother me a bit. The outline around the ends of the hockey sticks are too thick and I think the black circle behind the duck mask is unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the show logo, but the team logo was all over the place in the show proper. And there's no denying that it bares a striking resemblance to a famous Disney-branded cartoon duck.None of this means it's a bad logo per say, but denying that it has cartoonish elements at all just comes off as silly to me.

Morgan33 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The black circle represents a puck... If you removed it, the logo would look terrible. I agree that the black outline around the sticks is too thick but it's hardly unforgivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I don't care for the Mighty Ducks' old logo but I don't really have strong feelings about it. I just begrudgingly tolerate that it ever happened. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJAnfield Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Guys, look.If we're talking about cartoony Ducks logos, you've got the shoulder patch and the Wild Wing jersey.Cartoony? Yes.Cartoony? Yes.But when it comes to the primary logo? Especially in comparison to those two things...Cartoony? No.The main logo was cartoony, but who cares? It was still awesome.

BrianLion Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 of course the ducks' logo is cartoony. It's a hockey mask shaped like Donald Duck's face. But no one cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The Hockey News just released their "jersey issue" featuring the top 100 jerseys of all time in a list so laughable, it makes Paul Lucas's recent uniform ratings seem reasonable.
