Phil Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 So, there's a bunch of symbolism in this logo. There's the keystone, for Pennsylvania, the Keystone State. There's the golden triangle, which is the confluence of the the three rivers in Pittsburgh. There's the "Pittsburgh" banner which symbolizes the many bridges in Pittsburgh. There's the flame itself with three colors and three points, symbolizing the three rivers, the Allegheny, the Manongehela, and the Ohio. The fire not only represents the olympic flame, but also the steel industry and the smelting plants which Pittsburgh was founded. And of course the whole thing is supposed to look like a torch cauldron. Did you by chance work on the Oilers alternate oildrop logo? Or this year's anniversary logo?

hrivnak Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 No, is it similar? I'm not sure I know what you're talking about. I've never seen the anniversary logo, but their third alts don't really look like this do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 No, but they have meaning behind every little detail they did. I like yours though, it is very good. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffles Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 The factory & flame colors are from the New Joisey flag and the smoke is made up of the Olympic rings. The flame represents the Olympic flame as well as New Jersey's many beautiful oil refineries.Pretty self-explanitory if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitroseed Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Ah... Thank you for reminding me why I never want to visit the northeast again. I've been to Philadelphia and Atlantic City, and that was bad enough. I can only imagine what the Big (Rotten) Apple is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging New York City based on Atlantic City and Philly because they're in the same basic vicinity is like judging Jimi Hendrix on William Hung and Creed because they're in the same industry.And JQK, New York only smells bad because it's downwind from Joisey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynomind Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 So, i spent my spare time for three days workign on a logo.. then I go looking at the page again, to see if i can pick up some ideas for some finishing touches, and apparently I'm doing a very close representation of an existing bid logo.Back to the drawing board!

TBGKon Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I know Tampa tried for the Olympics in 2012 and lost, but I created a logo of my own that i likehttp://www.geocities.com/astrobull21/Tampa_2012_concept.JPGI used a lightning bolt as a torch (since the Tampa Bay area is the lightning capital of the US) and the rising sun as the fire (since the Tampa Bay area is known as the Suncoast of Florida)comments please...

paynomind Posted April 15, 2004 Author Share Posted April 15, 2004 OK, this isn't a top-level design, and I will be working on it and fixing it. Maybe even scrapping it and starting over. But, I wanted to add another entry to the mix here, early. NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!
