Blackdude Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 So, the team will let the fans vote for the logo of the team. There are 3 choices. http://ottawafuryfc.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcoatsforever Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Clearly the middle logo is the best. I made sense for TFC to throw a maple leaf on their badge when we didn't know if they'd be the first and only Canadian club in MLS, but at this point I think clubs need to start looking elsewhere for symbols. A flame seems like a good logo for Ottawa, hopefully the central logo wins out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with that one also... it can be flame clearly but it also seems to evoke a river perhaps... which Ottawa is dominated by .... and they will be beside the Canal in the new stadium.

Guest ClaytonA Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm not going to vote on their website since I'm not from Ottawa or a season ticket holder. 1st looks a little too busy and as an icon on a webpage harder to read. I like the Cdn flag though. 3rd I didn't like the flame cutting or blocking the name Ottawa. The name Ottawa is more important than the flame motif. It'd be nicer if the second one had Ottawa the same width as the top of the shield to balance the fury name with the Ottawa name-it's the city's team. This is the one I'd vote for. I was disappointed in the youtube video - they could have told more of a story about each crest and how elements match with their vision/mission etc. Also what they considered for different media such as print/web/physical marketing mediums as strengths for each. A missed chance to help generate more conversation about the team and make it easier for the main media to talk about it (get more coverage).

elmateo Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Underwhelmed. 1. too busy and another f'n maple leaf? Thanks 'murikan designers I forgot I live in Canada. 2. better than the others but can start to see the problem of "Ottawa Fury FC" as a 'brand name' - they couldn't figure how to put all the letters on the shield. 3. clearly the 'crappy one' included to make the other two look better. Also, just in case there is a latent crowd who really wants to get behind this team but has absolutely no relationship to 'football' in the rest of the world (hence the lack of a shield of 'traditional clubs'). The flat graphics look way better than the embossed '3d' with red stuff. And does anyone actually think "how will this look on a shirt"? that is the primary function after all... You wouldn't have "Ottawa" floating on the second one. Third one would not even be put up. The first one belongs on a beer bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Not blown away by any of them, but I think the first one is the best. Third one shouldn't even be in the discussion IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Agreed on number 1. The third one looks like a university/CIS logo. I actually wouldn't mind the colours of the team being red and black (kind of like AC Milan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alberta white Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Third one is a corperate letter head. The first ome seems as if it been acrried by a hawk of some sort. the Second one looks like its flaming off gas and should be reserved for a Fort Mac team. Or then again letting off Gas/ hotair in Ottawa? One wonders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (shrug) I didn't mind them. I mean FCEdmonton's logo still beats all three, so that's a bit of a shame. However, I voted on the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I could live with any of them but prefer #2 or #3. I won't bother voting since the naming exercise showed the owner's personal choice will win out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloth8 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I agree that the first logo is too busy with the maple leaf and the flames (or are they wings?). However, I like how Ottawa Fury FC fits entirely within the shield. My biggest issue with the second option is that the "FC" doesn't really fit well and the smaller Ottawa font is seperated from the rest of it. The third option would indeed look great on letterhead and nothing else. I voted for the first one but echo ray's sentiment that the people's choice won't matter in the end.

alberta white Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Is there a term one can use for a not so well monied Olygarch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironcub14 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I was hoping that they'd take most of the elements from the first emblem, but replace the vest-like thingy with the shield from the second emblem. I do think that they are too generic though, nothing in any of them that has any real reference to Ottawa. In contrast, I think all 3 of the Canadian MLS emblems are pretty sick in their own way, and rep their city well. The only thing I could think of that would make an explicit reference to Ottawa is a silhouette of Parliament, kinda like the silhouettes that Vancouver has in their emblem.

Guest Future CanWNT Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I like the first one the best. I agree with Sloth8 that the Ottawa and FC doesnt fit well inthe first one. I dont like having the F and C on either side of the flame, I think it would look better at the bottom if they made space under the flame IMHO. I also like having more red on the first one versus the second one which is mostly black. As long as it's not the third one I wont be too disapointed though.

Villa_Canuck Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 We all know that the fury showed their hand in the naming competition. These logos are ****E. I live in Ottawa. It looks like it was made by grade 9 classes. Am I the only one who thinks the first logo looks like DC United. But hey wtf do we fans know. We are buying the gear and dealing with it. Personally I will not helo the Bytown Boys paint that logo on any banner or flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmateo Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'd kinda like a bad-ass black jersey with just some white trim (forget about the red except the logo) or go crazy and do something like the 67s red-white-black hoop jersey... maybe just two of the colours - like flamengo. Not AC Milan. But I'm sure Pugh is got it all figured out; we are going to 'vote' on the shirt too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark83 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I like the second one, just slightly modified. It's got kind of a Brooklyn Nets simplicity to it. It's not amazing but it's miles ahead of FCE and Virginia Cavalry's beveled clipart crests. The fire throughout the crests could even be tied to the city itself [Centennial Flame, fire of 1916].

Either of those are now number 1 for me. I liked the simple crest style before but with the "Ottawa" on the outside of it was awkward. Hopefully some one from OSEG is watching this board.

elmateo Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 What would it look like if the Ottawa was above the FURY still on the shield? Dropping the FC. The FC would make sense if they didn't make the whole name a mouth full. Ahhhhh advertising firms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Future CanWNT Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I agree the ottawa should be above. I'd also put enough space between the letters to make it take up the whole width if the crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironcub14 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Oh yeah, you posted these on Fury's FB too, right? I like the right one, how you put Ottawa on top of Fury. I would say the FC would look better if it looked like the one on the left, below Fury rather than being in the fire. Almost there, nice graphics work!
