BBTV Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 This is an embarrassing step down from the primary logo they just had, that had a lot of solid good aspects, this is flat out weak. I like the though of the Shoulder patch and jersey design compared to before, but the primary logo is just terrible.That's like saying that getting kicked in the nads hurts worse than being punched in the face. I wouldn't want either one to happen to me.No, because their current logo is a good logo.The logo they are going to be using is pathetic.You may be surprised to find this out, but different people have different opinions on things.I don't think any logo they've ever had has looked even marginally professional. IMO the current one is the best, but could be a logo for any one of 1,244 different companies.

The only Lightning logo that could be described as remotely iconic is the one in my sig. Why? It was around for 15 years and has a championship behind it.

Its been around for less than 2 months and hasn't seen a single game. I think were beginning to use the term a little looselyDo you know what that word even means? It doesnt mean historical significance... Semiotics . a sign or representation that stands for its object by virtue of a resemblance or analogy to it. It doesnt matter how old or how many games a team has played with the logo... Learn the language... Then maybe you wouldn't get so upset with words being used loosley.

BBTV Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 When discussing sports logos, critics tend to use "iconic" to refer to a mark that instantly identifies the team, or could represent the team solely without words. From that standpoint, a mark would have to be around for a while to build up that kind of recognition. Of course from a literal sense history doesn't matter. Also, from a literal sense, anything could be iconic. It has the potential to be iconic, due to it's simplicity and ability to be reproduced easily. It also has the potential to be a total flop, because it could easily be mis-recognized as a logo for any number of companies / businesses... which would make it the exact opposite of iconic.

Nailed the meaning of iconic from a design standpoint, which is what matters here. It is certainly iconic to the concept of lightning, but to be iconic to the concept of the Tampa Bay Lightning, it will take some time and reinforcement.

hormone Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I don't want to sift through all these pages (plus the NHL change pages), but what is the protocol for media using the new TB logos? Roots sports (formerly Fox Sports Pittsburgh) and the papers use the new logo. Shouldn't they be using the current one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Nope. Everyone seems to be using the new one, even the team and league in some applications. They just cant make it "official" until after the season.Logo this good, you can't blame them for not wanting to wait. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
