sportsherald Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I was just looking at the updated logo for the AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, and was disappointed to see that the Golden Triangle (symbolic of Pittsburgh) had been added to the existing, different penguin used by WB/S. That got me thinking about a more appropriate background, and after learning that Scranton is the Electric City and Wilkes-Barre the Diamond City, I came up with this rough concept. I don't plan to do anything more with this, but I wanted to share the idea. Use the rules of heraldry for more effective sports logos! i.e. keep it simple, use good contrast...

jmoe12 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 The concept is solid, but I'd try to integrate the bolts into the diamond more. They seem sort of tacked on as they are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsherald Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 Definitely tacked on. Just a quick concept, and I agree the bolts could be integrated better.

sportsherald Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 So, here is the more integrated version. Use the rules of heraldry for more effective sports logos! i.e. keep it simple, use good contrast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chcarlson23 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Why not use the bolts to make the diamond??? "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You." Psalms 9:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Try a gem shape rather than a geometric diamond and just stick one lightning bolt somewhere in the available space. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsherald Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 1 hour ago, the admiral said: Try a gem shape rather than a geometric diamond and just stick one lightning bolt somewhere in the available space. Not a bad thought. I won't go further than these quick mock-ups unless W-B/S actually wants one. I also caught a gap in the earlier design, by the mouth. While a diamond made of bolts is an interesting idea, I don't think I could pull that off recognisably.

The_Admiral Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 There you go, I like that top one a lot. Nice local symbolism, I like when the American league has that. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
