ebod39 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 found this skimming through portfolios on Coroflot.com, a website that hosts portfolios for all design disciplines.I know the guy and can confirm he did work at Reebok for a couple years. I wonder how long he's had this posted on there?At first glance it looks like the same Capital building silhouette used on the secondary eagle logo they unveiled.If you look really closely at the wordmark with the dome off to the right side you can see the ascender that goes up fromthe P to the point of the dome creates a hockey stick and the "dot" of the I is a puck. Clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsox Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I kinda sorta like that wordmark, but the Eagle/capitol patch and the wordmark on the real jerseys own that crest. I also like the logo itself there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I believe the Caps said they cut it down to two designs and the one that they didn't use would probably become the Alternate uniforms when they are reintroduced in a few years. So we might be looking at the Caps future alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 oh, wordmark, yuck! I'm glad they went with what they did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydogisgomez Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 When I first saw that wordmark I thought it might be one of those ambigrams, like in the Davinci Code, that reads the same right side up or upside down. It looks as if they went way out of their way to make the S at the end hard to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Wow... that's... not good.I don't like their chosen one all that much, but I guess its better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Um, no. That wordmark is hideously bad. The font wouldn't look out of place on a prison gang tattoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecticbro Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 That crest logo simply doesn't work, and the font used doesn't either. But it's an interesting effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 The logo had potential, but to echo everyone else that wordmark is just NBG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 That old english wordmark is just plain bad. Leave old english to the Detroit Tigers. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 That old english wordmark is just plain bad. Leave old english to the Detroit Tigers.Them and malt liquour. But yeah, the OE wordmark is pretty terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpc21 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 The "Capitals" in the Old English font doesn't do it for me, but the single W on the shorts is nice I think. It reminds me of the Oklahoma City Blazers "B" that they have been using recently. I wouldn't mind seeing the W as the logo for a 3rd jersey, much the same way OKC does it.

ElwoodCuse Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Blech all around. Dumb logos, horrible wordmark, stupid jersey layout (stripes on the front of the sleeve but not the back?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatSleepJeep Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 the logo reminds me of cross between WWI doughboy helmet & kaiser helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherwilds Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 [Channeling Lumburgh] Uhm yeah I am gonna have to go with a no here...Old English lettering with angular modern number font....nopeI cant tell the difference between your mamas bisquit and a hockey puck but if that "i" is suppsedly a stick and puck it s a pretty square looking to me.And concur with the kaiser helmet observations also could be ancient samari helmet as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityhockeyfever Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Ya know, I kind of like that U.S. Capitol Building logo as the crest if the team didn't have a modernized versionof their old team name wordmark. Much better than what has been on their home black jerseys.I agree, I don't like that wordmark with the passed over jersey design, at least not with a new look here.Their new nameplate and numbering fonts are excellent in my mind. If that proposed Capitol Building logowas on the front, I would accept it. I had commented on the "new Capitals jersey" thread when the new lookwas unveiled on draft day where I would've preferred a Capitol Building logo as the crest and better thanthe ugly old one with the wordmark, crossed hockey sticks, puck and two big stars. That passed over new crest logowould've fit that bill as better than the previous one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
