In fact I was bit worried it would be a bit too much like the Icethetics mockup. I like it because it's more proportionally balanced than either the Icethetics mockup or the older designs that it's based off of. I like it because it took well-liked and popular older logos and modernized them just enough to work today. In short? I like it because I feel it's a good logo. I just find your pot leaf comparison lacking. The general shape of the logo and the general shape of a pot leaf are very different. That kills the comparison right there for me. Magnus (who never misses a chance to kick the Leafs fwiw) had to add to more segments to the thing to even get it into pot leaf territory. I think the general shape of the new logo is good but the details kill it. The leaf is WAY too jagged and the veins look odd, especially the bottom one. They did knock it out of the park with the new font though. That looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Ohio State sticker looks way more like a pot leaf than the new maple leaf. I am not saying its funny, but glad you are mature enough to only look at that side of it. I am just pointing out why I don't like this rendering of a maple leaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreamSoda Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 To illustrate my point. It has NOTHING to do with the shape of the logo or the amount of points. It is the JAGGEDNESS of the leaf. The pot leaf on top of the Maple Leaf logo looks VERY similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uniguy22 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Going back to the ballard leaf VS new leaf comparison as I think most of us agree the pot leaf comparison is a little silly, I think the new leaf looks a lot more like an actual maple leaf than the ballard logo when comparing to other maple leaves in the image below. At the end of the day it's an improvement to a logo that they used when they had their greatest success as a franchise. I think it's the best logo in their history.

So very eloquent of you. If you actually looked at the image, you would see how similar they are. You are the one obsessed with the shape and "humour" of the pot leaf comparison. I am looking at it from strictly a design perspective. Maybe that is too much to ask of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it was you who made the comparison in the first place, so. If we're talking about the jaggedness of the leaf, lots of leaves are jagged. Like this ordinary nettle leaf. But, nobody is seriously going to confuse the Maple Leafs logo with a pile of nettle leaves stuck on top of each other. Or with frickin' cannabis, for that matter.

You are missing the point, and maybe its not a common graphic where you live, but the new leafs logo looks a lot like all the stupid pot leafs I have to see in Colorado all the time. I don't see nettle leave logos on every other store front but I do see tons of weed plant renderings all over town. Besides the shape, the most distinguishable characteristic is the jagged lines of the leafs. I will concede that is probably just me, and my anti-weed bias living in Denver, CO, but that is what the Maple Leaf logo looked like to me. I think we are done here and should move on to discussing the logo and not its resemblance to other plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
