Go Red Sox! Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I never really liked any of those AHL league logos they have used so far. So I decided to modernize the mark, making it once again much simpler and cleaner. Gone is the rather cluttered look from the early 1970s roundel, including the explanation that AHL is the abbreviation for American Hockey League. I think the league has been popular enough to go without it. Colors remain the same: Royal Blue (PMS 286 C), Red (PMS 185 C) and white. Current AHL logo “Never argue with an idiot! They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.” ––George Carlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepro Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I like it but I don't think you need the hockey stick at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hockey stick is part of that logo for three reasons: 1. To graphically emphasize it's a hockey league (for those who don't know anything about it) because I already left out the explanation "AMERICAN HOCKEY LEAGUE" for the sake of simplification 2. To add a distinguishing characteristic to the shape of the shield, and 3. To get rid of too much unused negative (blue) space that the letter "L" creates “Never argue with an idiot! They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.” ––George Carlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIYsportsguy Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Nice. Really nice. There are a million "Stars and Stripes" shields out there, but the hockey stick makes this unique. Very well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I think it's really well done. Really professional looking. And while I can't say I can imagine this being used in real life, it works really well as a logo on its own. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."
