alltherage Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 An IOC rule banning the use of federation logos is 13 years old, but can be overlooked with the approval of a country's national Olympic committee. For the past three Winter Games, the Canadian Olympic Committee has give hockey an exemption, but opted not to support hockey this time around.http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianp...xvu8x2hhi3YQ4EAI haven't seen a thread about this and i've searched to no avail so hopefully I didn't overlook anything. I thought with the amazing talent this community has that someone would have some great ideas.I know usually people want concepts in original posts, so let me explain. I'm pretty novice as far as logos go, but I'm working on something I will post shortly. I'm really interested to see what we can come up with here!
Throwback Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 It's usually not accepted to start a thread in the "Concepts" forum without a concept. Have you posted this in the "Sports Logos" forum where I think this belongs. I do look forward to see what you have in store. Also . ~?~
alltherage Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 This is what I've been working on. The black lines signify the 7 gold medals in men's hockey Team Canada has won since the Winter Olympic's inception. I realized this doesn't quite work for women's until pretty much writing this, but here goes:C+C please! And thanks for the welcome Throwback. I'm a lurker as you can see by my join date.
Throwback Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Thats pretty good, for someone who calls himself a "novice". Fix the women's thing and this could work. ~?~
BIGBAD Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 cool, i dont see the 7 lines however...oh now i do
DelayedPenalty Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 It was my understanding that the team couldn't use a logo of any sort, other than the Canadian IOC logo, script of the country's name, or the flag.And you obviously didn't search too hard, because there is a topic about this in Sports Logos. http://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?showtopic=64097

I thought the only reason they had to change was because Team Canada is an organization, not just a team. I believe they need to develop a new logo. Thanks for being "that guy" and giving a smug answer.

siegel0572 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I don't care for this logo. The blocks break up the logo too much and are distracting. I do like the old style Toronto maple leaf logo though. And like you said this look would not work for the women's team. One final question I have is that would you have to keep adding line to the logo if they win more golds?
VC// Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Still nothing interesting for ideas and concepts for a new Team Canada logo?I like the one JS did for the Rochester Amerks and I think he did one with the old school Team USA as well. Canada needs an iconic logo. I am always screwed for time but I want to keep this thread going, there are talented people here with great ideas, someone should give it a shot. I think I might doodle a few ideas when I am at work and see what I can do on illustrator and photoshop. LETS GO PENGUINS! 5x Stanley Cup Champions
