Hathaway Browne Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hope I'm posting this in the right place. Anyway I'm trying to come up with a decent concept for a hockey team called the Tigers, buts its not going so well. I see so many good Tigers logos that its hard to come up with something original.So I started thinking of switching to something ambiguous. Got me wondering what are the really great primary logos that represent teams named after (usually animals) something but don't actually depict the item in question.Best examples I thought of so far are the Boston Bruins "B", Chicago Bears "C" and the Detroit Tigers "D".Any others?

knnhrvy16 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I'm not sure if you're looking for college too, but the Michigan "M" came to mind, as well as the Oregon "O". The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

slapshot Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I don't think teams that have primary logos based on the first initial of their cities are "misguided".Your definition could be stretched to apply to basically every MLB cap logo as well.Just because a logo doesn't have a literal representation of the nickname or mascot shouldn't mean it's misguided. Any primary logo that contains either a representation of the mascot OR should be considered appropriate, aesthetics aside.

Billy B Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 And the majority of college logos are going to fit into that category. For the most part, colleges brand themselves more for the school name than the nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvko Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I don't know if the North Stars one counts since it's depicting a star to the north. You know what they say, "Traditionalist's can go die in a hole if they don't like it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden One Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I don't know if the North Stars one counts since it's depicting a star to the north.Yea I didn't think so either I just wanted something different than a block letter like Nebraska since I had so many in there already.

DEAD! Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 With all the talk of letter logo's, put this togetherThere has to be a logo for 'Q' other than the Quaker State logo I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Wolf Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 The Colorado Rapids' logo doesn't have a rapid on it, but it's a great logo. Same with the Sounders (whatever a sounder is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGWB Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 With all the talk of letter logo's, put this togetherThere has to be a logo for 'Q' other than the Quaker State logo I had to do a project like this for an art class in high school. Pick a subject and something for each letter so I did sports teams.For the Q I used the Quad City Flames. Kinda cheating but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis2051 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 With all the talk of letter logo's, put this togetherNortheastern or Nebraska's logos would both be more generic than the North Stars.as for "Q" logos, there's Quinnipiac: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden One Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 There has to be a logo for 'Q' other than the Quaker State logo I was waiting for someone to comment on that, ha...... Updated now.I actually originally had Quinnipiac like Anubis2051 posted, but it bothered me having the U on there also when no others had a second letter. But here is it updated using Northeastern like he posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
