Just make it a circle.

So this made me think of the logo concepts I made last year, and it inspired me to create a full uniform set with them.....

I kind of like this. I am not sure I like it more than what we currently have, or at least what it would be with our current logos, but I could definitely see something like this in use in the NHL.

I'm pretty sure you've workshopped that logo a time or two and posted it. It just doesn't quite land for me. As a concept, it might not be far off from something that could work really well. But from what I've seen, I'd take the other options we use over this.

I will agree with your concepts on all of these for the captain letters. Pretty insane that they haven't gone to that as it always seemed like an obvious slam dunk. But I'm also still pretty shocked they haven't moved to black full time for the home jersey as the org seems to like that more.

For black pants/helmets, it didn't do anything for me when they did it, but I think it'd be something that I'd get used to over time.

A few times. I agree I don't think it's as good as what we already have and I've not yet seen any concept that is. A small tweak to turn the silver outline to black on the hurricane logo is probably all that is needed, really

This concept is a thought process on what we could do if you had to scrap the current set and start over coming from Hartford

I like us black at home, we look really mean. Btw the two squares in my opinion have great potential.

@Svechhammer I feel dumb that I'm just now noticing the negative space H in your concept ha. I do agree with others that it's just slightly too simple in the current form to work.

What if you kept it as a C but sort of elongated it and gave the outside some of the features of the current swirl?

Somehow turn this into a “C”…

I actually have a concept roughly based on this, but I am out of town and will need to post on Sunday. I have posted it before but the logo was panned for being a little awkward.

Elongating would be way too similar to the Habs logo so I'm intentionally staying away from that.

So at one point I had this....

I thought it looked a little too thin for my liking so I thickened up the C...

Still didn't quite turn out how I was hoping. Maybe turning it red to be more like the NWS logo?

I dunno. Just something about them that doesn't seem to work well. Maybe it could use a little polishing, but I am not sure you can do anything that would be particularly strong as a logo and doesn't come across as clipart.

I like both color schemes, with more of a preference for the red one. But the big thing I would change would be the "angle" of the design. It needs to be drawn as if the logo was (and I'm using flying terms as I don't know a better way to describe what I'm looking for) pitched forward (away from the screen plane of flight) and then yawed to the right. This would give it a more 3D appearance vs. the 2D that you've made and also would give the logo a "dynamic" look to it. I'd also like to see it with "fleshier" arms or swirls. All of that would give it more of an elongated appearance going from 2 o'clock to 8 o'clock in appearance.

I had thrown these together around that same time....

As well as this one....

I feel like these had potential, but couldn't quite figure out a way to get it right (I've been doing all this in MS Paint like a heathen).... You can see a little how I was struggling here:

In case anyone wondered, I eventually preferred the logo with the C closed to create more of a full circle, and used the black outline to create the C. Then, in a nod to the region, I notched out a triangular shape for the RTP. And then, just as a slight emphasis to the H in the white space, I flattened the two sides of the shape to create the ones you see here, which is what I kind of ran with.

I like the design due to its "tribute" to the Whalers logo. Kudos to the designer. I'm old school and appreciate recognizing the team's history in Hartford. Not a fan of the current use of CANES on the white sweaters. Looks terrible.

I like the design. color scheme works and number font looks great. reminds of Pittsburgh steelers number font. Classic. Not sure you need the swirls on the C. the warning flag logos are enough IMO.

Nice job with this.
