StPatty33 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Agreed. If I were ever to make this into a logo for a different team or simply for a cool logo to somehow profit off of, I would have to change the colors, and I would also completely edit the snow part so it isn't really in the Avalanche style.

Grish Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Patty this would be my take on this. If you plan on presenting this to the Avalanche then I would keep it as low profile as possible. Use the patches yourself, not sell anything to anyone. As they say you don't want to "rock the boat". I would think the Avs would be more likely and willing to use the logo if you have not used or sold it yourself at any point to anyone. I doubt they will use it if you have already "falsely" or "misrepresented" or "looked for gray area" or otherwise used the logo for profit or not in the public. If I where you I would make my hats and etc. Use them in your presentation to them. If the Avs say no you can use it as a "Rejected Alternative Logo for the Colorado Avalanche" and then you have not stepped on anyone's toes.just my two cents.... "Try not to have a good time ...

josh_cat_eyes Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I LOVE IT. 500% better than that friggin foot that they have as an alt logo right now. I would love to see that as a alt logo next year. Very well done!!"Cat Eyes" - Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be better off to present it to the Avs first, as they're more likely to consider it, or even let you into the building, if you haven't had a legal battle with them over the logo. facespace?http://www.myspace.com/seancalcottmusic http://www.myspace.com/forgottentoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StPatty33 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 I agree completely with you guys. Sorry if I came across as defensive--I certainly appreciate your C&C and the legality discussion. This is essentially what my plan is/was:I'm working on coming up with 3 or 4 slight variations--people always love choices. I've got the right contact methods down, and I'm on a first name basis with a couple of the players, so I can try and meander my way in through them, if I have to. The only thing I was planning on doing as far as exposing this logo before then, is this--I have prominant tickets to the last game of the season (against Calgary, the 8th seed in the playoffs right now, only a couple points ahead of us). I was planning on me and my friends wearing the hats and t-shirts with the logo on it, to see if it created any buzz.What do you guys say? Yay or nay? Should I even go that far before speaking with them? I mean, I'm not going to be giving out my business card or anything to people that ask--even if they ask.

BBTV Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Can NHL teams even accept unsolicited proposals? I thought the Ravens fiasco pretty much shut the doors on any of this kind of thing. I thought there was too much risk involved with them using a design they didn't ask for and negotiate for.

TurnTwo Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 In my opinion this is one of the best logos ever created by a CCSLC member. "I must be butter, because I'm on a roll."Turn Two Design // Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words make it your calling card and present the Avs and those in charge with your logo already attached to hats etc. "Try not to have a good time ...

I wouldn't wear this in public. That would be the polar opposite of keeping a low profile. "Generating buzz" and saying that others like the logo will not help your chances on securing any future projects with the team.This is your own personal logo and keep it as such. The Ravens' situation only highlights some of our points here. Now if you do nail down a meeting with team execs, go ahead and pass out your patches then. But for the love of all things good and holy, do not SELL these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epiphanic Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I don't know how teams go about getting new logos, but chances are to get it accepted, you need to go through the team first. With regards to your plan to "unveil" your logo at the Calgary game, I'm on the fence, slightly leaning not to do it. Wearing your logo to the game will have one of two consequences. Either it will generate buzz or it won't. If it doesn't then it's as if you never wore the thing in the first place. If it does, then that might take away some of the marketing thunder that the Avs could/would generate with this new alternate.I see the Calgary game is April 8. If you were able to arrange a meeting with Avs execs before then that'd be optimal. Given the time frame that is probably out of the question. You mentioned that you knew some of the players. Perhaps you could run this by them. If they really like it that might give you the inside track to the meeting.Just some thoughts. Good Luck.

charger77 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Great concept!If you want the Avs to take it / use it / buy it from you then you need the legal route. If your are looking for $$$ ebay! A friend of mine has been selling bootleg concerts / concerts / dvds on ebay forever with out problems. Think any of those ebay ticket scalpers ever get into trouble?Dan PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldnt let anyone see it until you atleast get a meeting with Avs officials. Even then, I would wait to show it, so there's no chance they can think negatively on it.
