Morgan33 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 robo-pen was the best.One of the most underrated logos in sports.No question. It actually looks like a penguin and manages to incorporate the topography of the area, with the stripes representing the three rivers. People who deride the logo have always said it looks "corporate..." I don't see that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almighty Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 It's an absolute travesty they chose to go with those crappy Rangers knockoffs over this beauty. Fix the beak and it's one of my favourite jerseys in all of sports.oh ! that is beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittSmith_95 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I love Robo-Pen. I think it's the better logo by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Robo-penguin would be the best possible logo for them, if they hadn't already had the Skating Penguin. They're both excellent logos, but the skater has more personality. Robo tries just a bit too hard to be dignified. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

You just can't replace the skating penguin because it's too damn good of a logo, but the RoboPen is so good as well.

IceCap Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Agreed.I felt the robo-penguin worked wonderfully as a shoulder patch along side the skating penguin.

Morgan33 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 It definitely made for a fantastic shoulder patch. They could also use it as the main crest for an alternate to tie things together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Only shoulder logo the Pens need (and just on one). Robo-Pen was good design in a vacuum, but a poor replacement for the skating penguin. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Just no. I'm sick of this trend of flags or flag imagery trying to pass for sports logos... Compare the rendering of any semi-decent sports logo to the way flags are rendered. The styles are like oil and water. No sports logo would employ strokes as thin as on that image and for good reason; it wouldn't translate into embroidery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Penguins don't need this on their regular uniforms any more than the Blackhawks need light blue and six-pointed stars on theirs.Everything about the Penguins' pre-Edge uniforms was pretty much right - except for the players wearing them.

Stampman Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 It's not so much that I don't like Robo penguin, but I like the skating penguin so much more Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."

Morgan33 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Senators prototype from 2008 surfaces...

The Penguins don't need this on their regular uniforms any more than the Blackhawks need light blue and six-pointed stars on theirs.I respectfully disagree: Pittsburgh sometimes feels like a world unto itself, not quite Midwest and certainly not East Coast, and with all three teams sharing black and yellow and the Pens in particular basing their logo on the confluence of the rivers, I feel like pure civic pride makes for better secondary iconography than anything penguin-related or Pittsburgh-inspired, with the primary already checking both. I'd want to see the Pirates wear it on their sleeve as well. I don't think the Steelers have the real estate for it. I just think it's a really neat thing. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I thought about that, but it's there on the blank-helmet side to keep the logo on both sides of the body, and that's probably not such a bad idea. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
