FAQ: Unveiling IceHL Logos

Just wanted to answer some of the many questions I've been getting recently.

  • When are the IceHL logos being unveiled? Now. As each poll ends, I'm trying to get the team page launched within a day or two. (There was a delay this past weekend, but everything will catch up shortly.) Only Boston and Vancouver have been released so far. (Washington tomorrow.)
  • How will I know when a logo is unveiled? Twitter. It's right there in the sidebar so keep an eye on it. It's the quickest way to see what's new on Icethetics — the IceHL included. I update it several times a day. As soon as I launch a new team page, I'll link to it via Twitter and the original poll post as well.
  • Is there easy access to these team pages? Absolutely. This can also be found in the sidebar. It's visible below the IceJerseys.com ad on all IceHL pages.
  • How do you do get the embroidered effect on the logos? Tons of questions about this. I'm glad you guys like it. When I get some spare time, I'll put together a quick tutorial and post it on the site. (Pay attention to Twitter for that.)

If you've got more questions, please ask — either by email or comment.

I have a question. Wouldn't the alternate logos & wordmark be unveiled too, you think? (Because the alternate would most likely be the shoulder patch/alternate crest for most designs, with the mark being considered by many too)

Will we have to have the embroidered effect on the jersey crests? and if we do, will we also have to make the jerseys themselves appear to be a certain texture?

To Burmy: I'm not exactly sure what you're asking but it sounds like you're concerned with the absence of the secondary and corporate logos on the team pages. Obviously, those pages are very barebones right now.

At this point, I'm just posting the primaries so you know which logo won. The others will be added later, but it's not as if you haven't seen them as they were shown during the voting process — and are actually still available there now.

To Ben: No and no. I will provide solid color logos to jersey designers along with a mandatory template. I'll talk more about the uniform designs when we get to that point.
