TimEOBrien Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 This is sort of more theoretical but I decided to rebrand the Blue Jackets using the unused logo from my latest update.Columbus Generals:I figured that green is underutilized in the NHL and updating the Blue Jackets confusing/boring/cookie cutter (see: Third Jersey) identity with something a little stronger while still having roots in Civil War history (Ohio produced more CW generals than any other state).I really like the simplicity of my Logo, but it might be too plain, thoughts?CREST | LOGO | HOME | ROAD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasNordlicht91 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 For the concept, the unused CBJ logo fits the theme of "Generals", and I like the "CG" shoulder patch, as well as the chevrons from the logo forming the stripes on the jersey. All in all, a solid rebrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I like this Tim.The Generals theme needs 4 stars somewhere though, don't ya think?How about a gold star in the "G".You should throw this in over at Puckdrawn. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your CG logo is so minimalist, yet so good. I think having four (or five) stars running through the middle of it (starting from the inside edge of the G and ending between the ends of the C) would make it simply perfect.I'm a Jackets fan, and even I think that's a great rebrand. It would need some major promotion for the change to be accepted, but I like it, and I think the uniforms are perfect. Maybe add a tertiary logo of the Ohio flag (Ohioans are obsessed with that pennant) in the style of the camouflage American flag patch -> I think that would fit this rebrand really well. Maybe make the white into gold to better fit the color scheme. Idk, just thinking out loud, but I like it I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

ColeJ Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 green and gold with a star?even as generals, i think the jackets need to be either red, white, and blue, or royal blue with navy blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimEOBrien Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 green and gold with a star?even as generals, i think the jackets need to be either red, white, and blue, or royal blue with navy blue.Too much R,W&B in pro sports (and lets not even get into double blue with vintage white and a circle logo...). Green and gold makes just as much - if not more - sense with the new name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilEmpire Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 IMO the star doesn't really match the C/G because it gives me a 3D vibe whereas the C/G is completely flat. Maybe a more 2D star would work?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns80 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Nice rebrand. The Jackets gotta do something. First and foremost they should have never been called the Blue Jackets. There isn't much you can do with the name period. The market is on this team already has the Sabres and Capitals to limit the capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a more 2D star would work?...Yeah, 2D stars, maybe green with a thin gold outline. the 3D version loses the minimalism. That's definitely the right direction, though I'm not sure if I like the multiple stars or the single star better I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

It would shrink a lot better, too. The CG is awesome, and frankly, genius, but there's a lot of room around it. It seems like almost too much room without something occupying that space. Maybe a bump will get more opinions on this. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I think something needs to be added to distinguish this from the Dallas Stars. I really like the C/G logo, it gives me a very heavy 70's vibe. Here's some color suggestions: Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Here's some color suggestions:While I understand your point, the Stars don't wear green anymore and their yellow/gold is more mustard while mine is more old gold/tan.I will consider editing the colors, but I really like this scheme.Thanks for the compliment. EDIT: This association with the Stars is also a reason I have some fears about putting stars into the 'CG' (or 'seege') logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimEOBrien Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Ok, I'm leaning toward no stars on the Seege logo, but I do like the idea of using stars in some fashion so I've come up with an idea, based on the US's insignia system, for a unique take on captaincy patches.Captain | Captaincy Patch | Alternate Captain | Alternate PatchThoughts?

Cody21 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 How about one of these?2nd one! In the last game against Detroit, the time from ten minutes left to one minute left was probably the longest nine minutes of my life. But from one to zero was probably the greatest time I've ever had. I didn't want the clock to run out. It was such a great feeling: people crying in the stands, people jumping up and down, people cheering. Guys couldn't even sit up on the bench. It was probably the best minute of my life.Ah, the "I'm kidding" - the universal internet excuse for saying something that others perceived as dumb.
