Viper Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 This fall the National Lacrosse League is holding an all-star exhibition in Melbourne, Australia, of all places. Of particular interest to this forum is the event logo, as shown on the Web site's masthead:As you can see, the event logo doesn't incorporate the standard NLL logo (shown below for comparison), but a different one that uses the same basic elements (a white silhouette of a lax player with the ball in his stick, against a half-blue/half-red background), but with a much more polished and dynamic look.So far the linked Web site is the only place this logo can be found, so it's entirely possible that it's meant for this event only. But considering the orders-of-magnitude upgrade from the current league logo, I have a very hard time believing it's just a one-off throwaway. We may well be looking at a sneak preview of a new NLL logo. I sincerely hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BawlmerOreos Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 HUGE upgrade if it is actually a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecticbro Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Not really. The new one looks like a 13-year-old's attempt at drawing a superhero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 The shape, style, and colors are all big improvements. The overall execution and the stylized lacrosse player, not so much. It does look sort of amateur superhero-ish, as hectic said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a VERY shiny logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer15 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well, something does need to be done about the helmet portion of the logo....but otherwise I like it alot.I've always thought the NLL needs to move away from their current logo as it looks way too much like the NBA and MLB logos.
