As I mentioned, voting will kick off tomorrow right here on this page as we narrow these 90 logos down to 30. New polls will be posted five days a week (so I can get a breather every now and then). I will also be releasing the full logo voting schedule so you'll know when to check back for your favorite team. I'll also explain in detail how the voting process will work.

Note: Once again, the designer named Chris Smith is NOT me. We just have very common names.

All three of the New Orleans Gators logos are absolutely perfect. That'll be a tough choice. Also, the third logo for the Pioneers is my favorite logo. It is a masterpiece.

That's a lot of logos!

The WWII fan in me loves the Houston logos by Six Zero and TDOG.

You gotta love Emilis' Vancouver Lumberjacks logo

As for the logos themselves, I really like the full sets for the Huskies, Cavalrv, Wave and Aviators, as well as Shawn Steadman's Beasts design, Craig C. Wheeler's Renegades logo, and Dave Delisle's Sharpshooters logo. Those are all amazing, if you ask me.

Wow! its going to be tough to decide when it come down to voting for the best designs for each of these teams, all are very nicely done.
I'm really loving JFred's California Wave, Roccot's Edmonton Kodiaks, tdog's Houston Hellcats, Craig C. Wheeler's Seattle Aviators, and Eric Poole's Boulder Beasts, all of these are very good designs. I also really love all three submisions for the Winnipeg Winterhawks, it's going to be real tough to pick the best out of that group.

love how six zero's hellcats is the logo that was a finalist for the pensacola ice flyers logo.

when was his submission for the hellcats to this site??

To pcolabikepolo: Six Zero entered this logo for the Hellcats way back in November 2008. I guess when the project and Icethetics took a hiatus in the spring, he decided to try his chances with it elsewhere. I would've done the same thing.
