Spoiler!

What if you tried to make it circular instead ?

I like the linear look of the existing one (it's meant for horizontal linear website designs), but I can give this idea a go too!

EDIT: Created the logo. Completely round doesn't work. I've condensed the version, however, to appear more round. Thoughts on this one?

Here's the Flames font; not sure if I'm that big of a fan of this, to be honest:

Yeah me neither, like the other font. Get lost serifs, no one likes you.

Here's the CP colors; I'm not sure it's the direction I'd take with this logo. Bingo wants a new feel; maybe even an updated color scheme. It's not as 'eye-catching' as the Flames colors, to be honest.

Looks good, but I still think the round one could somehow work better and distinguish itself from that Colgate-Palmolive logo I posted. I couldn't resist and tried something quickly by myself. Please note this is not the real submission and I have no intention to steal your concept (just want to provide some feedback which may be helpful)



C and P may be harder to recognize though.

Or perhaps you should try to combine the flame near 'calgarypuck' wordmark with the existing linear look.

Maybe have the puck form the top of the p instead of them being seperated?

This is a step in the right direction.

I am a big fan of using negative space in a design. Any chance the negative space in the middle of the CP can be a NHL sized ice rink?

CHARCOAL







FLAMES COLORS

Inner ring needs to be an ice surface.

I do like it with the current colour scheme for the site. If the site is getting an overhaul, the other one is better I agree.

If the site is keeping the current theme, then this colour scheme fits better I think.

Thanks for changing these up, so far you still have to best design whether it is similar to the colgate-palmolive brand or not, I could care less.

No. You never saw that and that never happened. What were we talking about? Oh yes thats right, NOTHING!

Wow that was an amazing response guys ... 32 pages, 640 posts and I'm guessing close to 100 logo insertions when you include changes and alterations.

If you have another one close, please let me know, otherwise I think we should take this to the completion step of the process.

Ideally I'd like a winning logo that can fill the gap for two necessities ...
1) Fill the space on the top of the main and forum websites (rectangular to some degree)
2) Have a smaller icon that can be pulled out and used on letter head or as a twitter icon.

I'll need some assistance in the best way to do this.

I think Photon mentioned there is a polling website that we can use that would permit logos inserted into the body, but I'm not familiar with that to be honest.

The key is how do we decide which 10 or so make that vote?

And once again I reserve the right to pick my favourite but of course I'll be interested in the voting results.

Great work everyone!

[jayswin]

Just a suggestion Bingo, that I think would make the voting more fun/meaningful. Is if you yourself came up with the top X amount of entries and made the poll from there, rather than us voting for everything.

It will lead to a more pointed poll for us, and we'll know that everything we're voting for is something that you have at the very least a small chance of using, therefore votes aren't being thrown away.

Absolutely no criticism at the guys who have spent lots of time coming up with designs, but a few of them that have received lots of praise have been very similar to what we have now, and wouldn't "transform" CP into a new look, like you originally stated was the goal of this.

So if some of those ones aren't going to be used for sure, due to not changing the look/layout enough for the future, it'd be nice to have them off the table from the get-go, imo.

[Split98]

^ Agreed. There's a lot of content in here, and ultimately it is your decision. There are logos on the earlier pages that have been forgotten, and some logo iterations were better than their successors. Having your stamp on 'here's my 10' will let us get down to the voting!

Here's a mock-up of my logo on the site and twitter. If this was my pet project I would minimize the table outlines (just turn them white) and flatten the header bars (remove gradients and shine). Change to a white background and with the minimalist logo I propose, it gives the site a fresh look IMHO.

[Bingo]

anyone have a clue how to poll this?

I could simply have a poll with somthing like

option a
option b
option c

and a see below for images

or there may be an off site poll structure that incorporates images.

Survey monkey would be easiest I think
