hallucinathan Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Has anyone ever seen an Expos "logo" of Youppi? Obviously they've never had anything official but I'm wondering if there's anything in an old media guide, yearbook, program, etc. . Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. In my search so far, I found this button but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 That's an unfortunate placement for that exclamation point. 1 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snap32 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) I have researched this more extensively than I'd perhaps like to admit. As far as I can tell, the logo in that pinback you posted *is* an official Youppi logo. I have seen it used in a 1981 Montreal Gazette ad, and on an official Expos Youppi tshirt. At some point though (mid- or late-80s?), they switched to a newer logo, which you can see in the Canada trademark database here and here. I haven't found many examples in the wild of this newer one being used, but it certain was used on this notable Youppi merchandise. I've never actually seen the version of the logo with Youppi's upper-body used on a product, so maybe it was just a concept logo that was never used? Not sure on that. But I think it's safe to say that Youppi had at least two different official logos -- the one from your pinback that you posted, and the newer one shown in the trademark database, which also appears on the merchandise pic that I liked to above.

hallucinathan Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 Thank you, this information is very helpful! I'm glad I'm not the only one that has spent too much time on this. Do you happen to have pictures of the ad or the t shirt by chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
