Re-designing Every SHL Logo
#1

Hamilton Steelhawks

[Image: ta5rzYw.jpg]

For this logo design for the Hamilton Steelhawks I wanted to make the bird look more metallic and intimidating while also choosing colours that weren’t as dull while still looking steel like. To make it look more intimidating it is in a position where it’s talons are coming towards you and it’s wings are spread. I chose to use a colour palette that was closer to the older Steelhawks logo because I found that the current colour scheme made the logo flat and dull as I mentioned earlier.

Manhattan Rage

For Manhattan’s logo I didn’t do a complete overhaul because I believe that they have a fairly strong logo that would hold up nicely on a jersey. As a result of this I didn’t change too much, I change a few things on the bears head and added some claw marks on either side of the bear head. In addition to this I also added the team name, Manhattan Rage below the bear head.

Minnesota Chiefs

Similar to the Manhattan Rage’s logo, I believe Minnesota also has another strong logo. For the redesign the head of the chief is updated and the name Minnesota Chiefs is written beside the head. I like the current colours chosen for the logo and believe they relate well to the team name so I saw no reason to change them.

New England Wolfpack

I believe that New England has the potential to do so many different things with their logo as a result of their team name. I also think their current logo is in need of an upgrade because while it is decent, there are a few things that hold it back. The main thing that holds back the logo is the large green circle behind the wolf that is just empty space because there is nothing going on in that area and it takes attention away from the wolf. The logo redesign I did is based on the Minnesota Timberwolves old logo. This is a strong logo and I believed it would work well as a logo for New England. I added a circle behind the wolf which is meant to be the moon and some of you mind be contradicting myself by adding a circle but it works in this case because it isn’t as big as the circle in the original logo and there are other elements in the redesign of the logo besides the circle and wolf.

Toronto North Stars

The North Stars logo that I designed looks a bit like the Dallas Stars logo but for this logo I wanted to tie Toronto’s landmark, the CN Tower into the logo and I did this by turning the top point of the star into the tower. The blue and white is a popular colour scheme for Toronto sports team so I saw no reason to change it.

West Kendall Platoon

This logo is a simpler design and it is of the Platoon’s mascot, the eagle. I wanted to incorporate elements of the old logo in the new logo so I chose to keep the current colour palette and added in some stars to go on either side of the eagle head. I believe that with it’s simpler design, this logo would work well as an alternate logo or a shoulder patch.

Calgary Dragons

[Image: v3CGaOX.jpg]

For Calgary’s logo I chose to base it off of the Kelowna Rockets logo because I am a fan of Kelowna’s logo and believed that I would work very strongly for them. Most of Calgary’s sports teams have a base colour of red so I saw no reason to change it in the redesign. The dragon in the redesigned version of the logo is also less detailed than the current one so it would hold up well if it were scaled down to a smaller size.

Edmonton Blizzard

The current Blizzard logo is a pretty solid logo but I find that there are so many colours going on at once in the logo there you can’t really determine a dominant colour. In my redesign I used the same colour scheme but I established a hierarchy in the colours. I made white and cream colours the prominent colours in the logo and the lighter and darker blues the supporting colours. The simplified look of the yeti in the redesigned logo in addition to creating a hierarchy within the colours work well in the logo and create a strong logo.

Los Angeles Panthers

[Image: Wb4UaLY.jpg]

The Los Angeles Panthers have a logo that some people like and some really don’t. I myself like it; this is a largely because of their colours but the logo itself is still decent. The logo itself though isn’t very intimidating so when I did the redesign my main goal was to make it look more intimidating. I did this by putting a screaming panther head on the logo and then to represent Los Angeles I put the Los Angeles skyline in the background. As I mentioned, the Panthers have one of my favourite colour schemes in the SHL so I wanted to use the same colours as the old logo.

Seattle Riot

[Image: yyFCrLa.jpg]

The redesigned logo I did is similar to the old Riot logo because I think the concept of the old logo is good so I wanted to keep it similar. The main change in the logo was that I put the needle tower inside a shield shaped crest instead of a flame like in the original one. I kept the needle tower in the new logo but removed the word Riot. As a result this logo doesn’t represent a riot but more so the city of Seattle because it is a simpler design. I liked the colours of the current logo though so I kept them the same in the new design.

Texas Renegades

[Image: ClbD7YD.jpg]

For Texas’ redesigned logo I chose to go in a direction that was different from their current logo. I wanted the main graphic to be a renegade cowboy and I wanted to chose a colour scheme that would represent the state of Texas. I chose to go with the colours red, white, and blue because they are the colours of the state of Texas flag. I like this logo because it represents the team name in a simple clean way with the graphic of the Renegade head and it also represents the state of Texas with the red, white, and blue.

Winnipeg Jets

[Image: NEgZzEJ.jpg]

For Winnipeg’s logo I wanted to represent the team name of the Jets while also represent Canada. The jet in the bottom of the logo represents the team name while the blue maple leaf at the top of the logo and also the little white maple leaf coming out of the back of the jet. I wanted to keep the logo simple so I just put the team name Jets and a graphic of a jet inside of the red shield. I chose to use the colours red, white, and blue in the logo just like in the old logo except I found the colours were dark and dull in the old logo so I chose to use brighter versions of those colours.

Blizzard logo looks sick. WKP logo looks like an angry chicken.

Cool stuff. Although I do prefer most teams current logos to yours, I imagine you put a lot of time into these. Good work!

Damn, most of these I think look as good as the current ones. Dragons and Blizzard look like junior team logos a bit though. That Panthers one is really nice and you got some skills bud.

Every single one of the logos with the team name or city name in them would be incredibly good shoulder patches. I just believe that letters (words/names really) do not belong as a main chest logo.
