CJR Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I know the people in Grand Forks were going through the process of picking a logo for the 2005 World Junior Championships and had sent their final two selections on to USA Hockey and the IIHF, but I haven't heard anything about it since then and that was in February. Anyone know anything? Just wondering. FantasyHockeySim.com || DetroitHockey.Net || DetroitHockey.Net FHL || cjr.dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJR Posted April 7, 2003 Author Share Posted April 7, 2003 Damn, I knew it would be that one. Since that one is up on the official site, I'll leak what little I know about the proposed logos...The one that was picked was the front-runner the whole time. The first version of that logo was without the stars and didn't include the "Theif River Falls, Minnesota" text. The revised logo you see was selected in the second round of submissions to the people in Grand Forks, who sent it on to USA Hockey and the IIHF for approval, along with a second logo as a backup.I designed the backup logo. It can be seen (along with my original proposal) here.I'm kind of disappointed that I never heard back that my logo wasn't selected (*cough* Seattle Thunderbirds *cough*), it sounded like everything was being poorly run anyway. They asked that submissions use no more than four colors, the one they picked uses three shades of blue, red, yellow and black.I can't complain though. I designed the first version of the logo in one day, never having used Illustrator before. The final one was done before I had used it for a week. I won't bother everyone with the drama behind that, but I'll post some of my designs if anyone wants to see them.There was a third logo selected from the original round but I don't have a link to it, they pulled it down after the final two logos were chosen by Grand Forks. The group that did the third one was local 722 design group. FantasyHockeySim.com || DetroitHockey.Net || DetroitHockey.Net FHL || cjr.dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 If it helps, both your logos are clearly better. The first is my fav, although the text is a bit hard to read when it overlaps. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJR Posted April 7, 2003 Author Share Posted April 7, 2003 The first is my favorite too. I'm going to be updating that one sooner or later just to show what I could have done if I knew then what I know now. I could have made the text much more legible.

-kj Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 I suppose I could have mentioned it when I got info in the mail a few weeks ago about it. The logo is horrible. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

CJR Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 I went back 8 pages to bring this topic back up. Just talked to someone who talked to someone in Grand Forks and the logo decision isn't final. They needed a logo to start using so they used the one they picked but it hasn't been approved by USA Hockey or the IIHF yet.I have a few touchups left on the revised version of the logo I submitted, I'll post it when I'm done.

whchoclte Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Me personally I think both logos are very bland. Leaves you wanting more.I congratulate you on yoru second place finish. My suggestion is elimate the motion marks, just makes it cluttered, and maybe shading the player a little more would add depth. I think both logos lack depth.Just my two cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJR Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 HA! I never wanted to put those ridiculous motion marks in there but the guy I was working with who didn't know anything but always tried to act like he did said they had to be there or we didn't have a shot.The updated, not submitted version should be posted tonight.

CJR Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 I've decided not to nit-pick the last few details about the logo since none of it matters. Here's my revisted version...
