Phil Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Hamilton having recently upped the ante, BC is left as the lone really bad logo in the league.This is still somewhat a work-in-progress, so any comments would be appreciated.BC Lions Concept LogoObvious credits to the BC Lions' current logo.

gojetsgo Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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.

Waffles Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuss16 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I think BC's current logo is not half bad. Your logo is good as well. But personally I like their current logo and hope they will keep it the way it is for tradition's sake. Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Yeah, make it look more like a cougar, and you're all set. Their current logo is just so plain, and looks like it's from the 1950s. It really needs an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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 projectorthe CFL section herefor reference.I prefer the paw logo myself...But good first draft Sy...

andrewharrington Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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.

vicfurth Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC97 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
