DaytonBlue Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 nice logo...Does the anchor symbolize something or is it just there as Providence is a port city on a bay?

dgthree Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 The Anchor is a RI symbol. It is on the State flag, the State seal, and most state agencies use it also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSox44 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I like it. I like it a lot. Way better than the gradient'd POS that my Pirates used back when they hosted the game in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgthree Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Unlike the Portland logo I think the Providence one screams Rhode Island. At least in the local providence arts scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSox44 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Unlike the Portland logo I think the Providence one screams Rhode Island. At least in the local providence arts scene.For Portland, I think they should've used a lighthouse motif, like the 2003 logo:The 2010 one is just so...plain and uninspired. The opposite of the city itself.The AHL really picked up All-Star logos following the 2010 Portland disaster(though I don't really like the 2012 one)...and this has been your RedSox44 Mainejack. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieRose Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 The anchor is such a cop-out. Lately everything that goes to represent anything in RI has an anchor. It's like they've run out of ideas.I mean, style-wise it is a huge upgrade over the '95 logo..But considering a Shepard Fairey mural just went up downcity about a year ago, you'd think they'd at least attempt to do something a bit more stylish.Not saying they should have slapped the OBEY giant all over it, but even taking a hint of inspiration from the great emerging art scene in Providence would have been nice. Instead, they settle for something that will be looked at in 20 years as "one of those logos from the twenty-teens"They used no real symbolism from the city, where there is a lot of imagery to choose from.Basically, if they had contacted me, I would have done something better. I'm just really disappointed at the P Bruins, and even the city of Providence as a whole. This lump of generic waste pretty much epitomizes what has happened since Mayor Cianci went to prison, and the "Providence Renaissance" ended./rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 As far as symbolism goes, the Providence ASG logo included the Dunkin' Donuts logo, to specify where the event will be held, which is the Dunkin' Donuts Center (even though the stadium has a different logo).

RedSox44 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Is that an updated P and spokes they have as a primary?I was wondering that myself. I'd love to see the Baby B's go to a logo inspired by the classic Bruins one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonBlue Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I like the symbolism of the anchor, even if it is overdone. I should have been able to figure that out since the anchor is on the RI license plate. In Tennessee we have that same issue with the three star circle from the state flag being incorporated into lots of stuff, but it's instantly recognizable.

Sabrejeff Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The anchor looks similar to the Admirals' one. I forget which Admirals specifically, but it could be both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
