Thanks for the positive feedback guys. I've experimented a bit with the perspective in order to a create a "true one" instead of the rather isometric look. Take a look at the comparison below.
Just for fun, I showed the concept to my wife (and she knows absolutely nothing about CP) just to know whether it reminds what it's supposed to and her immediate response (right before an expected "why are you doing this? is it good for something? can you play with kids bla bla bla etc.") was:
"a puck ? some hockey talk maybe?"
so I guess the idea behind the concept works fine
(btw. she thinks the version on the left side is much better)
However, I'm a bit skeptical about its chances in the competition just because it is IMHO almost impossible to transfer the idea into the flames' colors. Its power is in the simplicity and the monochromatic look is the only good looking variation I found. And I can tell you, I tried everything. EVERYTHING!
Yellow speech bubble with the red CP letters? Red outline ? Everthing looks strange. I've run out of ideas how to make the colorful version of this concept.
The bottom part has to remain black, otherwise it wouldn't look like a puck.
The middle part has to remain white, so that it remids the speech bubble.
But we're not LA puck are we ?
Anyway, I hope you like it and perhaps let me know which version (in terms of perspective) looks more realistic.
As for the font, it's hard to guess the font used for the current CP logo but to me
it looks customized anyway - the bottom slab on P looks very unusual therefore my concepts contain the old school typefaces that are typically used on jersey lettering or hats.
