What happened to crest emblem displayed a few posts down in the middle?
yea..what happend to the second finalists??
The top left non-finalist is the best. The bold purple B with the gold crown on top. Very clean, very nice logo...should have been a finalist.
Where did the crest go too? That was my other choice.
I'm glad for the #2 change. I like this one.
The #1 non-finalist would be a solid secondary for it too
I too am wondering where the 2nd finalst went from the earlier post, was my fav. I find the first two non-finalists too similar to Budweiser, it'd be good if it were a beer-league team maybe :).
number 2 is the clearcut winner here. as for the secondary i say the first non finalist
Im very suprised that my Skull logo is there. I like Number 2 alot and Non Finalist 1 is a good one as well . Im very shocked. Honestly im going to vote for Non Finalist 1.
Look at the crown on non finalist 1 and the New finalist 2. I bet there from the same set. and that the B is really the Secondary for the finalist 2 lion.
I agree that I miss the old #2 finalist. Somebody pointed out that the lion on shield design is similar to a logo in the english soccer leagues, but that is because it is a very common design for teams. I think you will find that there is a large number of soccer teams that incorporate that lion into their coat of arms. I don't see it as a lack of originality at all - I think it is a great idea to bring in some of that classic royal design to a hockey league.
Bring back the old #2!!!
Chris, why did you yank my lion logo?? That's the only logo of mine that's ever made your top 3 :(
Bottom left Non-Finalist for me. That would look great on a jersey.
i chose the first non-finalist, the purple B with the crown and gold accents. maybe just slap it on a shield but i think that's the best one. out of the 3 finalists though i'd go #3
I chose #2, I thought it was a great replacement for the old #2. I like the ideas of adding the lions, I also really like non-finalist #3.
Finalist #3 would make an excellent 2nd logo, though.
The first non-finalist (bold 'b' with crown) was my secondary logo for the second finalist (lion with crown) as pointed out by Mike Phoenix. When I sent it in last night i forgot to label primary and secondary so Chris probably thought that they were both primary logos.
Adam - I was considering putting the 'b' logo on a shield (and still can however probably can't be counted) however after coming up with the last minute design yesterday i was tired and decided not to go with the shield

First non-finalist for me !
I went with finalist # 2. There are a lot of good ones for this team but I feel finalist #2 would make the best primary while the others are best suited to be secondaries (like non finalists top row left and middle, middle row right, and the bottom row).
i think that the anchor logo is pretty sweet, as is nonfinalist 1, but im def voting for finalist 2.
too bad we cant just use the reading royals logo.. that one is awesome.
I voted for finalist number 2, but non-finalist number 1 is pretty great as well.
Non-finalist 1
Finalist 2 looks more like a dog than a lion...
Finalist 2 is the sharpest looking one,
plus I am not voting for something that looks like Micheal Jackson( a.k.a, Finalist 1).
And the last one is just plain bad, kinda kiddish.
This doesn't have anything do with this poll, but the Texas stars AHL team have a logo:

One vote for the first crowned B
I voted for #2 but my preference as well is for the original #2 with the lion.
Voting for Non-Finalist #7, the silver "R" on the purple and yellow shield. Comments on the others: F#1 - The Grateful Dead called and want you to come back. F#2 - Too windblown. F#3 - Too striped. NF#1 - Is that supposed to be the letter "B" or "R" in that scripty font?
LOL Dolomite. To be honest as i said earlyer im very suprized mine is a finalist. That #7 you picked is better then my Greatful Dead Michael Jackson Skull. and i think your right it is a R on NF#1.
I voted for the skull, but #2 would make a great secondary for the Manchester Monarchs.
It's funny you say that, Arenacale, because I was just about to show the Manchester Monarch's first logo and how similar they are, just different direction:

I prefer number one anyways.
Non-finalist #1, clearly!
Actually when i made the logo F#2 i was more influenced by the reading royals logo since they were the rivals to the echl team in my town.

Marc, how did your logo bump my lion out of the finals? Weird!
Non-Finalist #1 for me. But like several others, I would vote for the original Finalist #2 had it not been yanked.
I don't know, That is one of the logos i really liked. Thought that he would have pulled the skull one but should have at least put it as one of the non-finalists
#2 that appeared a few posts back was the best. Why was it removed? I didn't see an explanation posted. Anyway... OLD #2 wherever that went.
