BawlmerOreos Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 beau-ti-ful-as far as modernizing a logo goes, I've seen none better-and if they're smart, (hmm??) they'll also come up with some retro kits using the classic logo as their 3rd kits... they'd make $$$ and look good doing so, which would be so much better than wearing something like the electric yellow Seattle wears as their third kits!My only wish would be for the navy space between the V and W stems to be the same width as the V and W them selves.Otherwise...it's a nice, clean mark.

Gothamite Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 So, according to them the name has always been about water and mountains. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 They should have made the blue VW a bit wavy like it is in that video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titanole Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 So, according to them the name has always been about water and mountains.I guess it could have been. The club's first badge had neither mountains nor waves on it. Just a soccer ball with a maple leaf on it. You know, say what you will about America. Thirteen bucks still gets you a hell of a load of mice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben7 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 A very good logo!Quite a unique shape, despite being a bit similiar to AC Fiorentina, Hamburger SV or for some Colorado Rapids.Nice nods to the past, the location, the water, the mountains, the team name and all that.What I miss tough, is some minor graphic "eye catcher" within the logo, like the Los Angeles Galaxy Quasar for example.Wheter that would be a soccer ball, a canadian maple leaf, like Jezus_Ghoti put it a wavy element or soemthing else.Maybe it's been there done that and bland, but why not put the FC inside a ball/circle for example.(sorry for my attempt, but it was done at work with MS Paint)ETA: Can't wait for the 1st Galaxy @ Whitecaps MLS match next year. Hope to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 For what it's worth, I recently saw this...... and actually feel that the addition of the small "whitecap" on the middle "mountain peak" does wonders for the logo. As they say, the devil is in the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 It's a good, middle of the pack logo and I agree with the majority of posters here that it is definitely missing that one element to make the logo pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharos04 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Would it also be fair to assume that the reason for 3 mountains/whitecaps is the same reason that the Timbers will have 3 chevrons: to represent the 3 stages of the Whitecaps name NASL, USL, and now MLSI think it's a great update and makes a fantastic addition to some of the more modern crests in MLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krona Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 beau-ti-ful-as far as modernizing a logo goes, I've seen none better-and if they're smart, (hmm??) they'll also come up with some retro kits using the classic logo as their 3rd kits... they'd make $$$ and look good doing so, which would be so much better than wearing something like the electric yellow Seattle wears as their third kits!How is that a modernization? its a completely different take on the name. this is a rebrand all the way. its an alright logo for a bottle of spring water, but will be mocked in the NW for years to come.Build a Bonfire.
