JQK Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 This is one instance a logo called for more black. Too much red. Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 For as dominant as the color black is in the Hurricanes palette, I expected to see more black as well. Overall, not a bad logo at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfish13 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 More black would've been fine, but I think it looks really good, its very neat, and theres not too too much going on. dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 This is one instance a logo called for more black. Too much red.Agreed. There doesn't seem to be quite enough contrast between the two shades of red and the silver. A little bit of black would really set them both off.

charger77 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I don't see anything unique to the Hurricanes or North Carolina in it. I'm disapointed. PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goforbroke Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I don't see anything unique to the Hurricanes or North Carolina in it. I'm disapointed.There's a little.... the general shape of it is similar to the canes, and the colors as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandMooreArt Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 i also agree, the color balance isnt quite there. the stark difference in the palate draws your eye to where theres the most contrast. this case, being the NHL logo and the puck. thats not a technical bad thing but it leaves the rest of the logo feeling "empty". the perspective of the NHL shield dosnt fit with the rest of the logo, but maybe thats not a big deal. overall i really like this though. id say its actually one of my favorite sports logos of 2010.

hockey week Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 really, all they need to do is replace the light red with black, and you have this:It's not a bad logo...i just find it really generic. The basic shape of the hurricane is there? yeah, sorta, i guess...it's just lackluster I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmd9 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 That's too much black.make the "ribbon" on the bottom black to match the top and it would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcan'tseeme Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Needs a black outline if it's going to have any more black on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Keep the logo colors as-is, but put it on a black or white background.That dark-red background doesn't do the actual logo any favors, since the dominant color is also dark-red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Overall it fails because like others have said, the red and silver just compete against each other. Throw in the fact that it really doesn't have a Hurricanes feel to it and they just "NHL-ized" the logo, aka bevels and the silver metal look that is everything the league produces, it just fails.

Still MIGHTY Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The thing that gets me is that it's nondescript as hell.Sure you have the red and the vague silhouette shape of the Hurricanes' logo. But nothing besides the city name and that vague silhouette tell me that it's being hosted by Raleigh, Carolina, or the Hurricanes. No personality or distinguishing features. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canefan2k1 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Maybe it's just because I'm a 'Canes fan, but the first thing I saw when the logo was unveiled was the Hurricanes logo silhouette. Not sure how that could really be missed, honestly. Plus, of course, the red and silver. Agreed on the use of black. Could have used some more somewhere in the logo.One reference to the state of North Carolina that is going to be overlooked quite a bit is the banners on the top and bottom of the logo, which pays homage to the state flag: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_North_Carolina.svgOverall, I'm digging the mark.
