Jarred Revolver Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Wow. I glanced at the tv in the pub two nights ago and there was no sound, but they were showing the logo on the screen for a couple seconds and I could not understand why. Now I know - FONT CHANGE!Nothing says we're proud to be ranked #103 in the world than a font change on the logo! GO CANADA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 That is pretty weak. They had a logo contest a while back, and I threw my hat in the ring. I heard from them once after that, and even then they were pretty non-committal. To be fair, they also needed to hire a men's national team coach and a technical director, so maybe the logo got kind of put on the back burner.At the same press conference where they unveiled this logo, the CSA also brought out a black jersey that the U-20 men's team will wear against Scotland today (I think). Not sure if there are any photos, but a video can be found at TheScore.ca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 It could have been so much better.... but I must say, had they change the shape of the maple leaf, then the logo would have looked alright. I'm glad they got rid of the font at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyandlux Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Its actually a great logo....its just out dated, which I guess they realized and didnt do what really needed to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Does Art Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I hate how similar this logo is too the Canadian Basketball team...I'm very disapointed that they didnt change it up with anything but a font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone tell me why the colour red often appears to be multi-toned in certain graphic images. The ones above are examples of the magic marker effect that I'm talking about. Often (but not always) when I see red images (ie. Canadian Flag) on my PC, the red appears to have dark splotches throughout what should be a smooth and even coloured image. This has been bugging me for a while and I figure that somebody here can clue me in.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of these files are saved as JPEGs, which compress the file information a lot more than other formats, i.e. GIFs or PNGs. That compression sometimes leads to stuff like what you're seeing. JPEGs are good for saving still-life photos, but not so hot for graphic stuff like this. If you ask anyone around here, they'll tell you to save concepts and stuff like that as GIFs or PNGs, not JPEGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Yep, that would be it.As for the logo, I think it's a little blah but at least they got the national colors in the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I sense a concept coming along! (if you didn't catch that, I'm going to do a canada soccer concept)I caught an itch to make one too. But my graphic skills aren't as 1337 as most around here. Still, that's how ugly it was. I could do a concept right now and it'd be better and more suited for today.
