Phil Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Once upon a time, the Oilers used in some capacity a logo/wordmark that looked like this.Before I had ever seen that logo, I came up with an Oilers logo that looked very similar to my first one I have posted below, and displayed it on this board. I realized afterwards that this logo was eerily similar to the linked-to logo above. I have revisited these in my little way of supporting the Oilers in their annual playoff series against the Dallas Stars.These logos are the result:Copy&Paste this link to my first Edmonton Oilers concept if the remote link doesn't work.Copy&Paste this link to my first Edmonton Oilers concept Version 2 if the remote link doesn't work.I understand that this second logo may look even more like what they used once upon a time, but it was (and you have to trust me on this) not intentional, but as I was resizing the drop with respect to the sprocket, I found this worked really well, and after fiddling around with a few different chromatic positionings, I came to the above conclusion. If you want to consider it inferior because of its somewhat unoriginality, I agree with you. It's been done. But I kinda like it, nonetheless.Please reply with any questions, suggestions, criticisms, or comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 The are nice. Especially the first one. Is the link of the "old" logo posted above, not the shoulder logo on their alt? JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDunn Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Yes, the "old" logo is the current shoulder logo on the alt. I had done something a lot like your design # 1 when I first saw the alt main logo. Then I saw the shoulder logo and saw how similar it was and scrapped it. But I wouldn't scrap either of your logos. They are much cleaner and nicer than what I did. I like the second one a lot, but I like the first one more. It is just more of a unit. All the pieces just "fit" better.Great work.

webdav Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Sy, both are very good, but I like the top one more for one reason - the gear stays a complete circle, therefore making an "O" for Oilers.Very nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 Thanks everyone who responded. I didn't realize that about that being the shoulder logo on the alts, but now that you mention it, I remember.Thanks again all for the kind words. I'd make a jersey to go along with it (I've even thought a bit about what it'd look like), but I'm overwhelmed right now with real life, and so I'll let you digest this one for a while before I churn out something else.Any other questions, suggestions, criticisms, comments?
