IceCap Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Interesting. It invokes the location but not the host team.

Quillz Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Yeah, there should be a crown or something. The palm trees make you think of the Kings or Panthers or some other Sun Belt franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubby34 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Tampa Bay is hosting it this year? Maybe I should go visit it, lol.Purple would have atleast told us who's hosting. Kings are the only Purple team in the league I think. Tampa Bay is the only Blue/Black one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Interesting. It invokes the location but not the host team.Since there's only one Los Angeles team, it's not that difficult to figure out which team's hosting the Draft.Take a look at the past NHL draft logos. In most of the modern ones (seven out of nine) the hosting team's identity is tied into the draft logo. Here, not the case. You have palm trees and a black, blue, and silver colour scheme. Yes, the script says Los Angeles, but the way the logo is designed evokes the Tampa Bay Lightning. Switching the blue to purple would easily fix that problem. As it is, well it's odd to say the least.

jkrdevil Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 It is clear to me at least that the league is trying to standardize all of its event logos and bring them in line with each other. The colors black, silver, blue is what they have used for the playoffs and other logos in recent times. That is continuing that theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I'm humored by some of the quotes on the logo. Who is hosting the draft, the city or the team? Uh, I'm not sure how to respond to that. The Los Angeles Kings, who play in the Staples Center in the city of Los Angeles, what more do you need to know? I realize people outside of Los Angeles would miss this, but to me it's a great logo because of a couple small inclusions that say Los Angeles. The spotlights that invoke a Hollywood gala event and the inclusion of the Hollywood Bowl on the bottom are great attention to detail. Yes, that small silver half circle is not the moon or the sun, it's the Hollywood Bowl. Brilliant attention to detail. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnygriswold Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Would be better if it incorporated a crown, purple and yellow... but then again, i'm just a fan of their 80's crest and color scheme.

The_Admiral Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I guess it's the Hollywood Bowl. It isn't for sure without the concentric circles. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This logo suggests the draft is hosted by a city rather than a team. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net  "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This logo suggests the draft is hosted by a city rather than a team.Which is weird, because most recent draft logos do feature parts of the home team's identity. So if it's just the city that hosts it, then it makes the last seven out of nine logos seem, well, odd. If it's the team that hosts it, well the current logo falls short, as it looks more like the Tampa Bay Lightning are hosting the draft then then Los Angeles King.The logo itself is nice enough, I just think that switching out the blue for purple would do wonders.

It invokes the location but not the host team.Since there's only one Los Angeles team, it's not that difficult to figure out which team's hosting the Draft.Does the team host the draft or does the city?Does it matter? I could understand if this were the NBA or MLB where the Lakers or Dodgers are well known worldwide and play in leagues that don't necessarily need extra PR. The NHL is struggling to find relevance in America and could use every bit or PR, as could each of their teams. Ask the average sports fan to name two players on the Lakers and or Dodgers and chances are they could probably do so. Do the same regarding the Kings and you may get some blank stares. I think in the end they don't need to incorporate the local team in the logo, but it would have been good for the team...thats all I'm saying.
