josh_cat_eyes Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 I agree with witedawg.Just curious what would it look like with the stem of the leaf.I already had a stem on it but it made the basketball look weird. About the outlines...I had a 30 day trial of paint shop pro but it just ran out. Thats what I made it with. I didn't really like it anyway...Anybody know of any other programs I can get for free.

random_ax Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 quick update..Pretty cool logo concept. I have never liked the "Barney" logo of the Raptors and always thought they could've done more with the name....yours would be a vast improvement!!!!

SHaMROCK Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Yep, because we can't have a team based in Canada without a maple Leaf somewhere on it even thought it has nothing to do with their nickname. Unless you're the Toronto MAPLE LEAFS, lose the leaf.That being said, this looks good. The claw is not strong enough on it's own and this makes it look better.

SHaMROCK Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 But they're NOT the Canada Raptors, they're the Toronto Raptors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 But they're NOT the Canada Raptors, they're the Toronto Raptors.So does this mean American teams such as the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, Washington Capitals, etc. should ditch the stars in their logo because they arent the United States Cowboys/Patriots/Capitals?

SHaMROCK Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 No because all the teams metioned by you are using a star not simple because the happen to be a team in America, but because it fits with their identity.Dallas has a star because they in Texas the lone STAR state, and a star is an image that is ofter associated with cowboys. Sherriff badges, sleeping out under the stars, spurs ect.The New England have a subtle star because being a patriot, or patriotism is their theme.Washington Capitals have a star because patriotism, American politics ect is their theme.The Raptors having a Maple Leaf is like the Minnesota Timberwolves putting a star on their unform for no reason.Can you see the difference?

We're proud of our national symbol, what harm does it do to incorporate it into the logos of a few teams? Especially for the Raptors, the only Canadian team in the NBA, and who are marketing themselves as "Canada's team."So basically, stop making a big deal about nothing. After all, only two Canadian teams in the NHL, MLB, CFL, and NBA actually use a maple leaf in their logo set. So it's obviously not as bad as you think it is. IMO I think it's to low a number. The Raptors, Blue Jays, and Canucks could all stand to incorporate a leaf into their identity in some way.

DuckTape4 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The Raptors having a Maple Leaf is like the Minnesota Timberwolves putting a star on their unform for no reason.Can you see the difference?That makes absolutely no sense. The raptors have a maple leaf because that is the sign for Canada. That is where they are located. Toronto is in Canada. Canada uses a Maple Leaf as a sign.Raptors using Leaf wouldn't be the same as the t'wolves using a random star. Me is back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same logic.Icecap got it right with the low number of Canadian teams actually using a maple leaf in their logos. Texas teams using the Texas flag and stars are far more prevalent and annoying than Canadian teams using a maple leaf.
