M4One Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Not bad. I'm guessing the top one is the primary logo. I actually prefer the middle one to be primary.from the cutting room floor i suppose: That would have made either an awesome shoulder logo or alternate logo.

Geoff Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 as much as I hate anything hockey blow the mason/dixon... I love these! Perfect identity, stays unique and fun without being overly cheesy or 'dated'Well you too. Seriously, that's one of the most ignorant things anyone can say while still claiming to be a fan. If you love the sport, wouldn't you want it to grow, spread, and succeed everywhere? Athletic Director: KTU Blue Grassers Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The swimming polar bear has a very alligator-in-the-water feel to it. Would have definitely been a clever logo. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was joking anyway.I DO however think that a lot of southern NHL teams should move to Canada/northwest. I've been to a few games in southern cities and the atmosphere is awful compared to places that actually understand/appreciate the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL hockey has worked really well in Tampa, Nashville, and Carolina. Often the atmosphere in those buildings is better because the fans are crazier. If you go to a Canucks game in Vancouver, everyone sits there quietly, but in southern markets, fans are standing and cheering all the time.It's also worth noting three of the best attended AHL teams are in Texas, while many southern ECHL teams draw well too.

CityOfWalrus Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 The swimming solar bear logo was taken down.. anyone have it so I could see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cola Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Great work- the only thing that bugs me is the small inconsistency of the chin line in the full logo compared to headshot only. Why make that adjustment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 i think the sun/o would have been much stronger without the somewhat generic paw, but that may have been a client request - i'm tired of seeing a paw logo for every bear/cat/bearcat/weasel/otter, etc.the swimming polar bear that isn't being used is fantastic...a little derivative of a logo i've seen before (lake monsters of some sort, maybe), but effing brilliant an beautiful...shoulda been usedoverall this package is about as good as a polar bear in orlando could ever expect to beFort as long as I knew about the original team, it wasn't until I read the last sentence of the above post that I realized "solar bear" was a play on the word "polar bear".I need to smack my own daggone self for that one. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vman Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I like it, but the sun seems a bit excessive and overbearing to me. I know it's widely frowned upon here, but I really liked the gradient in the sun of the old logo (and the palm trees). I wish they would have kept those here with the new and improved polar bear.

The_Admiral Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I don't approve of the differing crests, but the color scheme is nice. The orange really adds something. Something orange. Since the whole idea of this Solar Bears reboot is to recapture the warm and fuzzy feelings of the 1990s team, the purple and teal work well here. Hard to fully judge the striping till it's on a body. ♫ 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 April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Very disapointing uniformsFor a design that doesn't have any hem stripes and appears to have some sort of apron strings, I actually like what I'm seeing here, especially on the purple.FAKE EDIT: Aaaaand they up the back with contrasting name plates and block numbers that overlap the template.This isn't a hard fix. You get rid of the dumbass nameplates, and you switch to a narrower font, like what the Sharks wore pre-Edge. You don't use the widest damn block stock font available. This should be simple to anyone with two working eyes. Why isn't it?

Generic Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I personally really like the new logos, very clean and gives off a 90's feel perfectly without overdoing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
