Tie-breaking Since the playoff format is not points-based, the winning/advancing logo will be determined by the total number of votes received rather than the percentage. In the unlikely event of an exact tie, a 24-hour run-off poll will be held the following day.
Tournament Notes By popular request, the playoff format was changed to advance four teams from each group to the playoffs. ... The Blues won by the closest margin (51-49%) while the Sabres won by the widest (77-23%) in the Quarterfinals.

Notes The above group of logo polls feature the six current NHL franchises which have relocated at some point. The logos featured are those used right before and right after the relocation. (The Stars are the only exception as the Minnesota North Stars switched to the logo Dallas would later use two years before relocating.) ... In future weeks, you'll be able to vote on other logos used by these and other unrelocated franchises.
Commenting Feel free to add your comments about the polls below. Keep it short, relevant and friendly. Currently, commenting is unmoderated. Abuse it and commenting will go away. I'd prefer to offer an open discussion but not at the expense of civility. Also, if you choose to announce the logos you've voted for, do it in paragraph form. Comments with long lists will be removed.

Shark's logo is really cool, I like the added tail. Imo the Sabres' circle logo is overrated a bit.
Canucks should be winning this... It's a classic and simple logo, I agree it didnt need to be modernized, but
it's still a great logo, better that the same blues logo in a circle, with what looks like a Mc Donalds arch in the back...
Blues third logo NEEDS to be altered in some way to make the blue note fit in the circle.
It's not that hard either:
A) Enlarge the circle just enough to fit it in....
B) Shrink the blue note enough to fit it in...
C) Scrap the blue note in this logo and create something totally new...
This is what I think it should look like.
The Nordiques logo is a ''N'' with an igloo form and they add the hockey stick and the puck to represent the sport.
@ Kyo: it.s probably a stylised CF-105
@ ryan smyth: you do realize that's the gateway arch, right? unrelated to any sort of fast food restaurant chain
It seems most people on here are fans of 1960s-80s graphic design, of which the Nordiques and Whalers logos are prime examples. Simple, clean, clear, somewhat abstract, and with inventive use of negative space. T
he NHL now really has few simple logos, the Philadelphia Flyers flying p and the Devils NJ are probably the last NHL logos in the Saul Bass tradition of abstract but unmistakable logos.
"what looks like a Mc Donalds arch in the back..."
I honestly don't even know what to say to that.....
How did the blues logo make it farther then the blackhawks
