pcgd Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 The logos are looking pretty similar...I know both logos have been around for awhile, but I really have no clue on how long the Primiership has used the Lion, I believe Brisbane has used their lion since 1996 but it could be older than that.Just weird that they are both profile views of a lion, both holding a ball of their sport on the ground. The EPA logo is much more polished and it adds the crown and a different tail.I know they aren't exact, but they are pretty dang similar. Worth noting I suppose. Or not. Decide for yourself. I'm sure someone else has noticed this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr79 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 The Brisbane lion goes back to the Fitzroy days, predating the Premier League by decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 A lion in profile is a fairly common image in heraldry. You can see the many moods of a side-on lion here. I'd say both logos were equally inspired by this classic look, and whacked a ball in the best possible spot to make it look sporty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Ah...I hadn't ever really seen the standing lion like that in heraldry style. I knew there was no malicious intent but I never really heard it mentioned before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then the problem with the Brisbane's Lion is that it looks like it made a try in rugby. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmered Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 The thing with the Brisbane lion is that part of the merger agreement they have with Fitzroy is that they continue wearing that Lion forever.I would think there's far better lion logos, LMU and the EPL lion for instance, but they're stuck with that one.

jr79 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 The other problem with the lion is that its supposed to represent Queensland and Victoria, but he's almost identical to the lions on the New South Wales state crest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
