seasaltvanilla Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Idea that came into my head last night. I'm pretending that the name has Hockey Club as a suffix to make it more palatable and less Wild. If the Minnesota PWHL team is leaning into the Lake Superior imagery, probably the most famous landmark on the North Shore is Split Rock Lighthouse, which forms the basis for the main logo. The Little Dipper also hangs in the sky with Polaris serving double duty as the light bloom from the lighthouse. Purple has already been strongly hinted to be the primary color, which pairs well with sky blue to represent Lake Superior. Wavy striping also ties into the lake, as well as being a nod to the former Whitecaps. Putting even more waves on the breezers seemed like overkill, so I went with a slightly out there enlarged lighthouse instead. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because I'm in phone, but your purple looks a little more blue than the shade they teased. I don't think it'd look bad with the one they released, but it might lose a tad of the cohesiveness.

vtgco Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 The logo and jersey concepts are really solid, and you're right about the Superior name working better with HC after it. The light flash/Polaris idea is so clever! Only complaint is that I'm not totally feeling the lighthouse on the breezers; I'd go with a series of those 4 pointed stars and one 8 pointed star in a different color, running down the sides vertically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasaltvanilla Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 I took the purple off their Threads icon but the it doesn't actually match the purple on their Instagram profile, which does have more red in it. Updated and agree it looks better. Good feedback on the stars for the pants, I didn't think of that. And a larger image of the logo: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbird669 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Fun concept, love the logo, terrible team name. Women's pro sports franchises have the worst team name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
