Calgarypuck logo finalists

[taxbuster]

"I" for me....I spend a lot of time sitting around pleasant campfires....so like the flames on this one. While all are worthy, I'm not big on "stylized" logos (which is a kinda redundant description isn't it?), so I has the homiest feel to it for me.

I apologize in advance if it has already been answered, but yes, the Calgary Tower became a trade mark about 20 years ago. I was involved in a small way so I am very sure.

Ha, I was just going to mention this.

Yes, that looks much sharper.

And besides I guess you can't use the Calgary tower logo. E it is!

Says "Calgary Puck" (instead of Calgarypuck) I believe because it's a variation of an earlier version of J (that had the same problem).

I can, yes. I thought I had put up a fixed version of that one with the others too. I'll have to look.

Edit:
I did!

[ForeverFlameFan]

G, J, and K look awesome, I went with G. However, I am starting to like the speech bubble the more I look at it.

[SportsJunky]

I like all of them but I don't love any of them. That being said, if pressed for an answer, I'd vote for G once it is fixed.

I didn't expect mine to make it to the finals... :P. It was all a spur in the moment kind of thing but I'm liking the moving puck with the text bubble.

Fantastic, thank you

[FBI]

The calgary tower underdog dominating the voting!

[Neeper]

I've always loved B. But I'm also feeling K. Lots of good choices here. This is tough.

[Clever_Iggy]

Bingo - are you planning on doing a run off between the top X (4?) contenders and have CPers narrow their vote and only be able to cast 1 vote?

[photon]

I think having only 1 vote on the top ones would be interesting at least.

Plus the Calgary Tower one is out now so that may change people's votes.

[Joborule]

Should do another vote with the top 3 aside from the Calgary Tower option.

EDIT: For the round shield, can the Calgary Tower still be used in the left button of the logo?

[no_joke]

I like B as the logo and K as the shoulder patch.

[MisterJoji]

B (the coloured one), J, K.

[hummdeedoo]

Lots of good ideas here.

I like G,J,K - although I think a black outer circle would be nice. Since a puck is (usually) black and black is also in the Flames jersey.

There is nothing wrong in trade-mark law using the Calgary Tower silhouette in the logo.

I looked up the trademarks, here are links to the two trade-marks which include design elements:

http://www.cipo.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-ci...tIndexOnPage=1

http://www.cipo.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-ci...tIndexOnPage=1

First of all, its clear the silhouette in our logo is not a copy of the silhouette in the designs that are trademarked. Second, the protected wares and services with those designs do not include anything to do with discussion boards--- so on that level, using the tower is not against the law.

There's more to it than that however, you may face a type of passing off allegation, where the owners of the Calgary Tower say having that silhouette in the logo leads others to believe we are associated with the tower, or they endorse us, etc.

So maybe its not worthwhile to go down that path anyway.

There is a bigger problem with this and some of the other logos though, and that is, calling the board "The Unofficial Calgary Flames Community" or anything with the words "Calgary Flames" in it as a logo could get some push-back from the Flames. If it hasn't been done already, someone (ie. Bingo) should ask the Flames if they take issue with a slogan which uses the word "Calgary Flames" in the title. I know it says "Unofficial" to show we're not endorsed or affiliated, so could be a type of fair-use issue, but I think it would be best to seek permission before adopting it.

To be honest I've never liked that slogan anyway ... I prefer the 24/7 one on the main site.

unofficial sounds meek
and I don't like naming the Flames specifically

[djsFlames]

Okay, finally got a chance to do this.

The logo "banner" sans rectangle, outline and dancing flame removed as well as a subtext change:



And again with an alternate version that I meant to post earlier:



Hope this gives a better idea for people, as I previously only had time to post that first and only iteration of the logo.
