winters in buffalo Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Yeah. I'm totally diggin' it. One thing... is the exaggerated N in the wordmark necessary? I think it would look fine without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 I think I might concur with that upon further observation. The N does add a bit of unneeded stress to that side of the wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js ° Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 After looking at it, you both may be right .. i didnt remove the extension, but i did tone it down some. I also found that the wordmark seemed a bit washed out, it didnt contain as much contrast as the logo mark itself, due to the integration of more black. So i tried this here, opinions and criticisms are appreciated as always .. and thanks again for the compliments.I'm gonna get rolling on a secondary mark soon. ◬☰ ⏣ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 I actually prefer the original wordmark. I don't think it looked washed out at all. It looked very strong and fortified. The one with black seems kind of dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

js ° Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 I think you are both right, after looking at them comparitively, the more gold one certainly has more impact. I may try and carry that over to the symbol, rather than vice versa like i tried earlier. ◬☰ ⏣ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Eh, gold, black... both look fine to me. The toned-down N is a big improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammysabre Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 News...."I finally have to admit that the Sabres aren't going to make the playoffs. Because they didn't, despite having the best record in the Eastern Conference since March's trade deadline. But the antics of Derek Roy, Milan Bartovic, and Chris Taylor continue in the playoffs: they've returned to the Amerks to boost the team through the Division Semifinals against the Syracuse Crunch, in a best-of-seven series stating in Syracuse on the 16th. Other Sabre call-ups include Jason Botterill, Norm Milley, Jiri Novotny, Domenic Pittis, and goalie Ryan Miller, with veteran winger Jason Dawe rounding out the familiar faces.Closer to home, hockey continues to entertain the masses on other levels. The Buffalo Wings Roller Hockey League (born of the Wings professional team, and well-outliving the professional league) has joined the Professional Inline Hockey Association this year with a semi-pro team. The coaches (Jay Cieselski, Sr. and BWRHL founder and "all-around old goalie" Jason Klein) hand-picked BWRHL players for the team, making local talent the rule. Klein and Cieselski will be "taunting officials" while "alternating bench door-opening duties" for local players Eric Haak (Lockport), top-ranked roller hockey goaltender Jason Flowers (Lancaster), star pugilist of the Buffalo Wings pro team Ken Corp (Buffalo Riverside), and Niagara University ice hockey star Chris Welch (Kenmore).The exhibition team's only two home games will be played on May 22nd at the Amherst Pepsi Center. Tickets for the games are already on sale there, for a whopping $5 each. If you'd rather "do" than watch, join one of the nearly 100 youth and adult inline teams competing this summer in the BWRHL - open registration continues at the APC until April 22nd, with details available at http://www.buffalowings.net."Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction" is in reruns now. The show "re-enacts" several incredible situations. At the end of the show, the host tells you which are true, confirmable stories, and which ones they made up. And THAT is the page that is always missing from my Buffalo News.The team name and logo for Buffalo's new minor-league hockey team were unveiled at a recent press conference. Team owner Joe Kolodziej answered questions about the team, the North East Hockey League, players, schedule ... and then the News reporter asked if he had the rights to the franchise.Confused by the question (the team was announced in February), Kolodziej explained that the franchise agreement was signed December 23rd. The News story then ran with... the new logo? No. One of many photos taken at the Chophouse? No. It ran with the headline "Dispute Clouds Hockey Announcement." No mention of Kolodziej's confirmation of a signed franchise agreement. It quoted the GM of the Jamestown Titans as saying, "We have not picked the owner yet." "We?" Rob Madia was the GM and a player at the time the article was written, not a League official. He had approached Kolodziej for a job with the Buffalo franchise, so he understood at some point that Kolodziej was already the franchise holder. After the News' article appeared, Madia's involvement with the League was reduced to an "as-needed" basis. I've seen the franchise agreement (amended January 13th) - there's no dispute. Any resemblance to real persons or events is coincidental.Other facts the News thought readers wouldn't find interesting: the Buffalo Stampede has hired Alain Lemieux as a special consultant. Lemieux played professionally for St. Louis, Québec, and Pittsburgh, coached in the ECHL, and has a younger brother named Mario. He'll be in Buffalo to run free agent camps over the summer.The NEHL's salary cap is $4000 per team per week: "These guys are playing for the love of the game. They're not playing to make a whole lot of money, because they're not making a whole lot of money." By keeping all ticket prices under $10, Kolodziej can put families in the seats: "We'll focus on skill development, fair play, and a fun time. ... Where can you go out as a family of four and spend $40 for the best seats in the house?"After starting a team in Northern Michigan with the IIHL (a league that then fell upon financial troubles), WNY-native Kolodziej took the opportunity to "come home, get in touch with my family, be part of the community." He's not kidding - his players' contracts require them to perform two hours of community service every week. And while arena leases still haven't been settled, Kolodziej is looking for office space in the City: "It's important as an organization to be in Buffalo. If you're going to call yourself the 'Buffalo' Stampede, you need to be well-grounded (in Buffalo)." What an attitude! Good thing the Buffalo News is there to discourage Buffalonians who want to come home and invest in the area..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
