Christian Legault Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I like the look of the future class with all the sweaters. It's classy. Nice job. I might do something similar with mine. Hopefully when a team expands we see some of these on the ice eh.

Whitefoot Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Both are excellent, but this Las Vegan prefers the Aces concept! Time to submit these to the Foley ownership team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujubeans Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Aces has a better double meaning, but the Knights' helmet flag logo stands ahead of the others by a mile. It is seriously cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 An update... It looks like Las Vegas's new NHL franchise will be called the "Black Knights" or "Knights". Mr. Foley, the man who's shelling out $500 million for the team, wants "Black Knights" as the name, and he deserves to get what he wants. I've sent in a complete "Black Knights" concept....(you can see the presentation here on ISSUU) I did up a whack of logos... Before settling on these as the primary and secondary... I did up a bunch of unis, but these were my faves... Thanks to all for the feedback and CC. We'll see what happens next week. sparky *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Perfect. I think that the 'BK' flag logo deserves to be in there somewhere, along with the rearing horse and the front-facing knight. If this is what they unveiled I would certainly not be upset! "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreamingViking Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Though I prefer your Aces concept more, this is - as always - a stellar concept. I raise my lance to you. I suspect the Black Knight name is Foley's preference, but maybe he'll like the military themes in the Aces concept more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittSmith_95 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I honestly am looking at all the logos done for the Knights, and i like the Horse & Crown along with the Front facing Knight with LV in it the most. The final product does look really good though, and am happy to see an update. Did you ever get any feedback on this though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may hear something AFTER the announcement is made official, and the Vegas group can then talk publicly about the team/process/etc. We'll see...it's a long shot. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@axpze Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 These concepts need more references to "bat country" and post-apocalyptic biker gangs IMO. Replace any references to the military with skulls wearing sunglasses. Are there any horses in Las Vegas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totems!! Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yes and yes. Penguins at the Pittsburgh Zoo and horses come to town once a year in Vegas during the national rodeo finals. Googled it all by myself. Great job on the concept though Sparky. Let's all hope they pick something half as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I've never rooted for a logo design to be adopted more than this one. Excited to see it (and Aces) getting some play out in the real world. Good luck, Sparky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerGuyJordan Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Like I said, on your Aces thread, I feel like that is the stronger identity, leaving this as the lesser (the word inferior doesn't really work for a concept this good). I understand the argument for Foley picking, but he's looking to sell a brand and merchandise to the city. Does that mean he'll fail because he picked the wrong identity? Almost certainly not, but letting the city choose has its own set of advantages (sense of ownership, hype and a bump to resonanting with your fanbase). Trying to bring hockey to such a risky locale, you'd think he'd want as many advantages as possible.

I think, BeerGuy, that there will be a naming contest, but "Aces" will be dismissed by stating that the league doesn't want a "gambling" name. (even though it's an aviation theme) "Knights" or "Black Knights" would then get the nod. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the team of Foley's West Point. I am aware of Army's team name(s). I was just saying that assuming that Black Knights or Knights is the official name, a heavy medieval Knights theme may not be Foley's preference (also it brings up comparisons to that goofy Excaliber Hotel). But you did so much great work on the Aces concept (which IMHO is the better identity) that I think there's hope for you getting a shot at a less-medieval, more-military Knights concept. Best of luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreamingViking Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Also, though it hasn't been said much on this board, I think focusing on the "Battle Born" phrasing is a total win for both the military and medieval brands. It's the perfect meeting of local history (the state logo) and the player identity (a tough, hardened team). And I loved that instrumental Killers track on your promo video awhile back.

You made the pewter look more like charcoal grey now. GOOD!!! That is a nice color combo. Grey, black, and white. Grey, black, purple, and white would look good for the Ravens. If this Hockey team could pull a good grey off, then the Ravens might need to ditch mustard gold for a grey color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
