habsfan1 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I think it was a good call to remove that shine effect on the words "Stanley Cup Final". The new logo makes the Cup the spolight of the logo even more. The simplified letters are what are usually used as wordmarks with most logos. IMO, they knocked it out the park.

I don't care for the clashing typefaces, which are too close for the kind of serif/sans-serif distinction that you need for two typefaces to work together. I don't care for the photorealistic rendering of the Cup. Still, leaguewide graphics have been garbage since 2005, so at least they recognized that. Remember how hideous this was? That's probably my favorite rendering of the cup that the league has ever used, but nothing else about that logo is worth saving. Still love that they put the East on the left and West on the right. The league had a lot going on at the time and prioritizing alphabetical order over the universally accepted practice that West = Left, East = Right is so very NHL. Plug Time! I was so put off by the hyper-real illustration of the cup on the new logo that I had to try it for myself: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFGiants58 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I would’ve just used ITC Avant Garde or Quorum. Quorum should be used more in things. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Quorum is really good. I love Avant Garde to death, but it doesn't fit the prestige of the Stanley Cup. More teams or leagues should use it for other stuff, though. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StPatty33 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Came across this thread searching for newer NHL fonts, and thought peeps might be interested in an edit I made to this logo after the Avs won. The blue and maroon backgrounds were done by the Avs Facebook page for their profile pic, but I thought the cup needed reflection of the colors to further customize it. So I nabbed a vector copy of this logo and adjusted it: (Here's the original profile pic that I based it off): As an aside, there's a full cup (including the bottom) iteration out there. If anyone has a lead they can point me to for a vector version of it that'd be grand! I normally get all my vector NHL logos directly from the HTML of the NHL website, but I've had no luck with this full cup version, and unfortunately it's actually cut off in the logo above, not just masked: The below to be updated once the newest banner is raised!
