wildwing64 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 While the current primary logo is a great crest and a modern classic in its own right... the more I look at this new logo, the more I like it.It doesn't necessarily scream "classic" like what we kept hearing, but it certainly feels like a natural evolution of their current branding. I'll miss the current colours, but that green, black and silver colour scheme is actually rather nice and I can't wait to see how it looks on the actual uniforms. And hey, if you guys hate the lack of gold that much, I'm sure the team will listen and add it back in somewhere down the line. You demanded green, you got green. And I really wish a certain other team's fanbase would be more vocal and active like that... but, I digress.Another thing with this new logo package, in a way it feels like they listened to the cries of former North Stars fans wanting their old identity back, and then said "You know what, you, we're gonna take this thing and really make it our own." It certainly feels less North Stars-y despite keeping the slanted star that's been around since day one, and I applaud them for heading in this new direction while keeping the feel of the Dallas Stars identity intact.With all that said, the roundel sucks.

Lights Out Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Got a larger image of that tweaked logo by itself?My tweaks are far from perfect, but you get the idea: straightened-out star with less italicized D and gold reintroduced to the color scheme.

ColeJ Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Why would they spend the last five years wearing gold with no green, and now wear green with no gold? They're making things so much harder for themselves.Different owner, coach, gm, roster, president... no one is left that made us black and gold. The fans wanted green and got it. I applaud them.

Got to say though - I like the silver better with this particular design. Yeah, kinda old-school Philly Eagles-ish, but that was a hell of a good look.

KJTALBOT Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The D is the same color as the star and the star is just an outline. What would it look like if the star was solid and the D was green? Everyone loves a roundel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The italic star is the best part. Every logo since 1967 has had that same shaped star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The italic star is the best part. Every logo since 1967 has had that same shaped star.Exactly. The Gold on Lights Out's update certainly looks nice but I much prefer the silver. In fact, I can't say enough good things about these new logos. Even the roundel makes for an excellent secondary mark. A+ for Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every logo since 1967 has had that same shaped star.To be honest, the italic star simply doesn't work that well with this logo, especially skewed slightly upwards like it is.

TheOldRoman Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Even the roundel makes for an excellent secondary mark. A+ for Dallas.No, it doesn't. It's one thing if the roundrel was the primary, but the D-star was featured on jerseys, which is what baseball teams have been doing by sticking their cap logos in roundrels. However, it blows as a secondary logo. Having a logo, then having that same logo in a circle with words does not make a good secondary. The secondary logo should bring something to the package the primary doesn't, and I don't mean spelling the name out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Diablo Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I haven't taken the time to go through the whole thread, so forgive me if this has already been mentioned a thousand times already, but the crest looks like a badge to me. Depending on what the uniforms look like, this could grow on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Maybe this will put things in perspective:As for the italicized star...yep. But the absence of yellow / gold sticks out here too. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

tajmccall Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 As an old North Stars fan I'd hate to see them lose the gold. Green and Gold is Dallas Stars. They could end up looking a lot like North Dakota. Take that again, Minnesota! Store 1 Store 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
