Scrumptious Ham Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The snowflake/blizzard thing reminds me of the Martin speech on the Simpsons. "Individually we are weak, like a single twig, but as a bundle we form a mighty f*****!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 3 minutes ago, DG_ThenNowForever said: It's aesthetically better than last year's Fire logo, but that's if you're looking it in a vacuum. I'd rather have clubbed foot snowflake on my hat than the Fire crown. However, the Fire crown at least understands it's engaged in a sporting activity. This new Montreal identity looks more like a new seasonal line at Roots. What does any of the new logo have to do with soccer? I'm generally okay with out-there ideas -- see my continued appreciation for the new Rams -- but this just feels silly. Like, if you don't want to do sports branding, don't do it! I don't have a problem with that, actually -- I like that the logo part reflects winter knitwear, and the Metro, and quilty First Nations artwork, all while reflecting the modernist look that's very Montreal. It works well and is distinctive, even though they're undermining it a little bit by becoming yet another primarily-black-roundel team. Austin's badge has the tree, the new Columbus has, I dunno, just some patterns. We're mercifully past the phase of a soccer ball with motion lines attached to it.

The_Admiral Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The Columbus Crew logo is based on the flags of Munich and Bavaria, i.e., Bayern Munich, is it not? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this looks sportsy: And in a way I can't adequately describe, so does this: I keep on looking for the matching Hunter boots with the CFM gear. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I think CFM has a beautiful identity, one that uses the rounded to its most unusual potential. The Helvetica could be better, but the simple font works well with the pattern. The “foot” bit is annoying, but it’s miles ahead of the stupid “Impact.” It’s a big upgrade.

mcj882000 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 They're the Foot Club and one of their colours is "sacre bleu". I love this, it's so stupid and it's the right kind of stupid too; like an April Fools' joke that accidentally got made 2 1/2 months early. I think I have a new favourite MLS team...

Digby Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I guess I could see that the team name is not as prominent for Club Foot as it is for those two, which is maybe the difference and makes their logo more applicable hypothetically to other things. Actually the Austin one doesn’t feel like a soccer team as much as it feels like a hip brand of canned kombucha.

sky1324 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I like the logo, I think it's a solid logo, but there are certainly flaws with the whole thing. Impact would've worked brilliantly with this logo and the arrows, gray instead of white is confusing (snowflakes are white, are they not?), and in general the logo could be better but overall I don't feel strongly either way. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_DietDrPepper_ Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 My only change would be making the snowflake white. Otherwise I really like the whole look.
