clannhoran Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 With all due respect to Frenchie, I needed to use the pot leaf in my design as well. His is a more pleasant use, whereas mine simply refers to the trafficking aspect. That said, here's my loving tribute to (as Springsteen would say) "my hometown".

His is a more pleasant use, whereas mine simply refers to the trafficking aspect. That said, here's my loving tribute to (as Springsteen would say) "my hometown". With all "due respect", the Trafficcing can be used for 80% of all urban North American centres these days, including Toronto.If you wanted a Gangster/Chicago concept, why not some Prohibition concept? Naaah! too cliché.Or some "political payback/patronage"?Finally, "Gangbanging" is borderline offensive, but I agree that we need to be more forgiving when it's a HOMETOWN Concept.BTW, I should have started by thanking you for the compliment, I assume that "Pleasant" does denote a compliment...Dude!

Here's my Olympic Medal Back, I'd rather get stoked!!! It's not meant to be offensive, it's reality. Please note that I didn't pick on any one gang, or ethnic group. All ethnicities (Black, White, Brown, Blue, you name it) are involved in gangs in this town.And yes, "Pleasant" was meant as a compliment.Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacker12 Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Boy, is that true. Even thought I would have put a man with his fist in the air screaming out the window, it is a good logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's your hometown and far-be-it of me to dispute anything negative about Chicago, but I resent havin' my favorite plant used in a concept having to do with gang-culture.

The Gangbangers don't deal in crack or X, they're true to the old school roots of supporting the ganja.Anyway, I'm more of a whiskey man myself. I was never into Lucifer's Leaf, but I bet it would be cool to smoke a big twister and then head on down to Mar's Cheese Castle and munch away!

Lee. Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Most Canadians (especially western Canadians) will appreciate this one. For thos who don't know...the "toronto is the centre of the universe" sarcasm stems from many things, including the saturation of toronto-based news and sports all over Canada on all the Canadian networks, a lack of a political voice in western Canada, and maybe some jealousy towards Canada's largest city. but whats amazing is, if the Leafs made it to the finals against an American team in the sunbelt, you western canadians would be gung-ho in your support for them Don't speak for all Canadians there, ICS. I'm a Winnipegger, a proud Canadian, and I hate the Leafs. The only blue I bleed is for the Bombers, and for the most part, AFAIC, Leafs Nation can all take a leap.

Let's not lose track of the SARCASM Here...I'm pretty sure the centre of the universe IS Sarcasm...Nobody said that all Canadians were pleased to see the leadership of "the center of the universe"...It refers to how Torontonians ACT as if... For those south of 49, the way you feel about New York, is the way Canada feels about Toronto.We like to say that the only thing that unites Canada, is its hatred towards Toronto... @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojetsgo Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 5 days left guys! Lets use this thread to post logos, rather than just bash various cities verbally. Bash your least favourite city logo-style! We've got only 7 entries so far (excluding myself, since I won't officially enter mine). Come on! Use your logo talents for evil!
