zoneranger Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 This is what you've been waiting for...the tiebreaker between Patchez and teenchy.Both were given the challenge of designing a logo for the Buffalo entry in the 1955 American Football League and the following are their submissions....The Buffalo WingsandThe Buffalo Ice BreakersVote for what you consider to be the best logo in terms or creativity, design and relevance to the time period.Also please remember that this is a LOGO contest and although one entry does have the logo affixed to a helmet, that should not be considered when voting. Please vote on the logos only.If this goes into double overtime, the designers will then be faced with designing a logo for an expansion team in Miami.Good luck to two talented designers. I think it's going to be another close vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffelh Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Well, for pure asthetic quality, I like the Ice Breakers, but taking the whole thing into account, including liking the name Buffalo Wings, and liking the football incorporated into the logo, I am voting for the Wings!

pooter Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I also vote for the Wings.I did that because of it is supposed to be 1955.The IceBreakers is a great logo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I also vote for the Wings.I did that because of it is supposed to be 1955.The IceBreakers is a great logo though. I think the Ice Breakers look more 55-ish--I vote for them... Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."

Cyclopsis Joe Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Did Buffalo Wings even exist yet?Regardless, I'm going with the Ice Breakers. I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoneranger Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 And now a word from the designers.....On the name Buffalo Wings....The city of Buffalo and its surrounding regions have long played a significant role in America's aerospace industry. Many major aircraft manufacturers including Bell Aircraft, Consolidated Aircraft, Curtiss-Wright Corporation, Fleet Aircraft and Thomas Morse Aircraft have had a strong presence in the area. As the result of a fan contest, many nicknames were submitted to the new owners of the Buffalo AFL franchise. Most were alliterative in nature, many making reference to the animal with the Latin name of Bison bison. Rather than going that well-traveled route the owners chose to honor Buffalo's citizens' contibution to American aviation by christening the team the Buffalo Wings.The new franchise's logo, a winged football, draws inspiration in large part from the ovoid shape of Curtiss-Wright's C-46 Commando cargo aircraft. The Buffalo-built C-46 served with distinction as a long-haul workhorse, flying "the Hump" in the China-Burma-India Theater of World War II. It continues to serve the US Air Force (at least it did at the time of the founding of the AFL!) and in military and civilian capacities around the world.It is rumored that a local bar and restaurant may be concocting some sort of beverage or dish to honor the new team. On the name Buffalo Ice Breakers...Named after the Buffalo Fire Department's Edward M. Cotter, the oldest operating fireboat in the country and can be seen breaking ice on the Buffalo River at least once a week in the winter.Now back to the voting, which I failed to mention in the first post will continue for another week....

Primal Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 The Wings, mainly because I think the logo suits the time period better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Wings.Both are original and well-done, but the explanation and wordmark tipped the scales towards the Wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quantum Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Both are good entries. However, based on what is more relevant to the time, I'll vote for the Wings "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity".
