BBTV Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I see that it's up in the team logo navigation bar at the top of NHL.com. It really doesn't look good at that size - it's not really distinguishable as anything other than a circle with a blob in it. It'd be nice if there was an alt with a more distinct shape (yes, I get the significance of the circle and all) that they could use up there, or just go with the wordmark since the limitation seems to be the height rather than the width (basing on how much horizontal space the Caps logo takes up.)

bosrs1 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I'm not much of an NHL fan, but I've got to get something with this logo on it. I love the roundel idea with the jet (and even the maple leaf; I know that aspect kills some posters), and I think the wordmark and secondary logos are really good. I was hoping that the roundel logo would be a secondary, but otherwise great job here.Don't see why it would "kill" anyone. It's a beautiful rounded and logo. And the fact that it somewhat resembles a CF-18 is even more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandMooreArt Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Logo set is the definition of "meh" to me. I do like the fact that the primary circle mark doesn't contain any useless text like "Winnipeg Jets hockey club" or some other obvious nonsense. Not seeing the significance of the maple leaf in the second or tertiary mark. Sorry, you can't sell that one as belonging to the roundel. In the script logo it definitely detracts, as pointed out previously. But at least no one can forget what country they're from, and that's the important thing, right?Hmmm... and no one has a problem with FOUR teams using stars prominently in their logos? -Dallas, Columbus, Washington, Minnesota (both primary & secondary)...i dont think the star is to America what the maple leaf is to Canada. a red maple leaf screams Canada, its a symbol of the nation. America is a little more boring. the star is a graphical element with much more flexibility. for Columbus its part of the state flag (granted based on 'ol glory) and the same with Dallas. the recognition and brand association is way different with these 2 shapes. ask someone what he thinks of when he sees a star and you'll get a lot of different answers, and it probably varies on what part of the world or even state hes from. ask a person what they associate the maple leaf with and its either canada or a tree GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the BEST NHL logos look crappy there (Oiliers, Bruins look kind of mushy in that nav bar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 From somewhere on my Twitter feed, Chipman says the only red in the Jet*s uniforms will be the maple leaves on the crest and secondary shoulder patches.

Sodboy13 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I agree. I wonder if stitching an/or embroidery provide more contrast and separation between the jet and the leaf. Using sparkle silver on the lighter half of the jet, or using twill for one shade of the leaf, and embroidery for the other, could help accomplish that. In the end, what matters is how it looks on the ice. If that's the case, I could forsee a situation similar to my feelings on the Twins' throwbacks; there's really no redeeming value in that outdated, wonky script, but put it on that uniform and somehow, it looks so much better than it has any right to.

The_Admiral Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 The more I look at the primary, the more I like it. And besides, people in Winnipeg seem to love it, and that's what counts in the end. I'd still like one big red jet whose nose makes its way into the cutout of the roundel, sans leaf, but I can deal.Nothing redeems the other two messes, though. My mind is made up there. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 The embroidery here adds a level of depth, and creates a level of separation between the jet and the leaf that's missing from the flat graphic. Definitely improves the look.

McCall Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 The embroidery here adds a level of depth, and creates a level of separation between the jet and the leaf that's missing from the flat graphic. Definitely improves the look.And the "objects" in the roundel being bigger helps too. Having the nose of the jet going into the "notch" doesn't make it seem so out of place. I know the true size on the actual logo is pretty much equal to the RCAF, but from a sports logo standpoint this looks much better. And the two-toned colors of the leaf and jet look a lot better embroidered than they do in the graphics. Not as cliparty. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 The embroidery works better because you don't get the outlines around the objects, which is my least-favo(u)rite part of the logo.I'm not a fan of the shading, but I could deal with it (on the jet at least) if there wasn't the dark gray outline around the light side of it. That is what gives it the "clip art" look IMO.The other thing that bothers me a bit is the stem of the leaf - it shouldn't be pointy like that. Since the top points are obfuscated by the jet, having a point at the bottom almost makes the leaf seem upside down. Also, the shading in the leaf just makes the whole thing have too many colors - two grays, two reds, two blues (well, only one in the logo I guess) = 6. Just off the top of my head (so I could be mistaken) I don't think there are too many "great" logos that have more than 3 colors (not counting white), with a lot using only 2. I think that as I mentioned before, the size of the objects in the circle just make it appear muddy when scaled down (though it looks like they adjust for the embroidered version, so maybe there's actually a separate spec for small-size repro.)They're on the right track though... which is more than we can say about a lot of other recent unveilings.
