waltere Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Wordmark is a HUGE improvement, although as others have said it couldn't really be anything else.You know what, the new logo is growing on me as well, it IS an upgrade.Also, as a Panthers fan, I definitely hope the silver helmets stay. 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgthree Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yes, but "stealth" rather defeats the purpose of a logo. That logo will look okay on the silver helmet but would be awful against black.I agree, Stealth doesn't work, for example - Southern Utah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 On the logo slick, there's a small silver block in the "Dark" backgrounds column. To me, that's evidence of the silver helmets are staying... Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry.Not in actual execution, but in theory. Both logos disappear into the helmet (one for having no key lines, the other for colors. Neither will look or work from a distance. Both look weird and out of place and, lastly, both look unfinished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, ghost printing a design on a helmet (SU, some of Oregon's helmets, etc) does not work. However, playing off of the logo's shadows and lighting could work... in theory.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 The left eye is a major mistake. That blue triangle ruins the entire logo for me--it needs to be grey. Also, they have a very interesting mix of color-background rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might want to check your math there - ten times zero is... what, exactly? You can see it on the style sheet. The small black logos are completely unintelligible when placed on a black background. At any distance, the same would happen on a helmet. If they were to do that, it would be staggeringly bad design. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they should do this:That would look awful... but I think this could work:Maybe not with the logo in its current form, but if they had created the logo with more blue or slightly different lighting such as Fraser's concept, it could really be a great brand.

scraw28 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 from looking at the logo guide, I believe the silver helmet will remain on from the logo in a small silver background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 It looks like the new logo is sleeker than the old one, but to me that doesn't mean it's really better than the old one.Glad they're keeping their color scheme, however. That's the most important part, since I feared North America would lose the only black/electric blue based color scheme in professional sports. ` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red&Blue Crew Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I am not feeling the wordmark at all. The Panthers went way too generic and ditched a really unique design.As for the logo, I like the look of the Panther but the chin sucks and the whole thing needs an outline.Overall Score B- Nobody ... I mean nobody ... circles the wagons like The Buffalo Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSHARE18 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Im starring to love the new logo. The more electric blue the better. That is my favorite color and it really makes the Panthers stand out on the field. I cant wait to see what the jerseys look like. I wonder if they are going with the blue or black for the home jerserys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
