A couple of my favourite concepts...




Call me crazy but I like the old flying V jerseys. They were unique. Put a new colour twist on them and voila! Marketing gold.

All of them are great

Start from scratch to design yet another new logo for the Canucks? Why start from scratch when they already have a logo in their system, as part of their identity package, that is already accepted by the majority of the fanbase. The Johnny V logo. I love the Johnny V logo more than any of the other current Canucks logos. IMO that Johnny V logo is the best logo in Canucks history.

Orca logo:
Always have disliked it, I just got used to it.

Skate logo (Plate of Spaghetti):
It was a tolerable logo, but design wise it was terrible.

Stick in rink logo:
A classic logo, love it, but IMO it's better suited as a shoulder patch than a jersey crest/primary logo.

Johnny V logo:
Awesome!!! I loved it the moment I first saw it.

The Johnny V logo is the perfect representation for the franchise moving forward. I really don't have any faith in the franchise finding a better logo than that if they were to go back to the drawing board and start from scratch.

Nice summation. I really like the Johnny Canuck logo but, as some posters mentioned previously, it does seem a little too cartoonish for an NHL franchise. I would love if the Giants changed to that logo.

I do like the classic stick/rink/C logo. But please don't even mention the epitome of uglyness which was the yellow V. Worst.Logo.In.Sports.

Perhaps they should have an open bid/proposal for local artists and then let the fans have some input in choosing the top 3?

Edit: Carol, maybe you could use your influence and assorted insider hockey relationships, to make it happen?

I really like this version of Johnny Canuck and would be ecstatic if it became the main jersey.

I need "VANCOUVER" printed across the front so I know who I'm cheering for.

The V looks like a practice jersey not a logo...
And how about we just get plaid jerseys and make all the players grow beards and play with toques on??

And that would work fabulously with the earlier proposal for a bag-pipe/sea chanty/hip-hop themed official Canuck's anthem! Genius, indeed

Edit: plus, plaid makes you look less fatso-esque (purely for aesthetic reasons but still important

Love it! the skullet is here to stay.

I couldn't help but post a photo of myself during graduation festivities. Yes, yes, I know, let's just say I was a bit of a heartbreaker

Speaking of Bro Jake, did anyone hear his call in story this morning? He is in Cape Britain on holidays and was golfing. Apparently Dion Phanuef was out on the same golf course at the same time. He was chewing tobacco and spitting it everywhere including the greens. One guy went up to him and said Hey buy can you stop spiriting that stuff everywhere. Dion replied Why don't you go fuk yourself. The guy and his friends kicked Dions ass.

I was laughing through the whole story.

i've always been kind of perturbed that when they went back to these colors (which i think are awesome, btw) they used the awful logo from the ugly uniforms.

the stick logo is the best.

So, was it for the money, free Maple Leaf tickets, fulfilling overly harsh community service requirements, or is Cuthbert either a huge @#$#@ masochist? an insider working for the Canadiens, a spittoon collector, and/or is practicing celibacy until Phaneuf is finally and mercifully committed?)

(P.S. of course an intellectual collosus like Cuthbert is obviously stimulated by Phaneuf's cerebral supremacy, so that would certainly explain things )

I just don't get the fascination with that guy. A giveaway machine with a high pitched voice. Must be a Toronto thing.

I think the slanted skate is classic, it has a lot of energy, it's unique, it's instantly recognizable and has a solid history. Stick in rink is a bit too bland, the shape is bleh,and a hockey rink and stick doesn't really say anything about a team's identity, to me it says "we are a hockey team" and nothing else.
