It looks cool, but those whiskers/stripes on the face kind of make it look like a tiger more than a lion. The snout may be a bit too pointy also - I always think of lions as having really blnt faces.

Definite improvement though. Just needs tweaking in my opinion.

I think adding a mane to your lion will definitely make it more clearly a lion (although the currently logo strangely seems to have a female lion on it).

I think you're off to a good start, SyPhi. It's not easy trying to fix a logo that's so fundamentally crummy, but you seem up to the task.

i do believe the "lion" that BC is referring to, is a mountain lion... also known as a puma or a cougar.

Ah, I stand corrected.

Mountain lion-cougar--what's the difference?

I am amused by how it always needs to be explained--Mounatin lion--not lioness...

Not a bad idea Sy--but a bit tiger-like, I agree...

My suggestion would be to change the "BC" more if you're tweaking theirs, or lose it altogether, or incorporate it differently.

As for tradition?

The Lions have used a few different logos--including a previous version of this one where the lion is black.

Check out The CFL section of the Helmet project

or

the CFL section here

for reference.

I prefer the paw logo myself...

But good first draft Sy...

a mountain lion and a cougar are essentially the same. there is no difference, just another moniker for the same animal. as for the update, i like it syphi, and there are little tunes to make, but youve done well. the biggest fix here? definitely the white chops and chin. that is a big tiger characteristic.

i know the lion has it too, but its much less dominant. basically, im not convinced its enough to warrant a separate color on the logo. i think the head should be one color.

It's a nice start, but way too jagged and pointy, IMO. Smooth it out a bit (or a lot) & it'll be eons better.

Another thing that could be better is to have the whiskers start closer to the nose, rather than so far behind it.

At least it doesn't look like it's laughing at a joke someone just told...

Good start, I am not a fan of the white around the mouth -- it's really distracting, and takes away from the overall image. My eye keeps going there, and I don't think you want that as the focal point of the logo.
