Scorpion26 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If you have seen you MLS logo do you like it or not? I believe it's OK but not great it could have been much better but it's something new and different.I am hoping that they finally allow Canadians to be domestic players in American teams in 2015.

tmcmurph Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 That (Canucks as domestics) is all I really care about as well. They could fly unicorns in rainbows or the jolly roger for all I care about their logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Never liked it at all at first glance but I have really warmed up to it. Very clean and I like how they thought outside the box by changing the colours for each club. Very innovative. Hope the Canadian news he's talking about isn't lip service. Back to the logo though, doesn't it ever irk people when designers talk about their motivation for a creation. "The slash represents the pace and power of our sport" "The two portions of our crest represent two halves" "The red is suppose to represent Canada". I am paraphrasing from memory here, but don't you ever just get the urge to call BULLSHIT on these things or is it just me?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they just said hey there's a new logo, boom. And no explanation, it would be ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soju Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Yep, necessary bull shit. To present a rebranding without any explanation would be better for the world though, because seriously, who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I like honest explanation where it is needed and I don't like necessary fluff. "The outside limit of the logo represents the limits of the field of play" .... No...you just wanted to design a shield. No explanation needed, end of story. It is silly to design something and then make up a lame reason for the inspiration behind it. I feel the 3 stars are valid (club, community, country), I feel the red white and blue colours are valid (USA), but don't tell me that you intentionally created the slash at 45 degrees to "represent the accelerating improvements of the league" (paraphrasing again). That is ridiculous fluff intended to add value where it doesn't exist. Or, maybe I don't understand because I am not a graphic designer. I don't know lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Crappiest sports league logo EVER. It was designed "in-house" which I am guessing means someone let their ten-year old play with MS paint and called it innovative when the kid forgot to trim the diagonal line that went outside the shield.

Scorpion26 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 It's ok and if that's the logo we got to deal with the design. I would assume most fans are not to impress by this logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macksam Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I don't mind the TFC version of it. It's the best iteration by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hammer- Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I think it's pretty silly to have a sports league logo not even include the ball or equipment needed to play said sport. Save the NHL who frankly if not for the history of that logo, would be a pretty lame logo, I don't know of many leagues that do that. I mean other then Serie A (which has the center of the pitch) I don't know of a single soccer league that doesn't have the ball as part of the logo. It's also, really bland. Half the logo is white space and other then those three stars, doesn't really scream this is a US League or Canada is a part of the league. Is it better then the somewhat lame soccer ball and cleat? I'd say yes and no, I mean the design looks more pro and less kiddie, but at the same time the fact this logo could represent any three letter acronym based out of the US, is such a silly way to try to brand a league. Sure, the three stars say "Yeah this is a US league" although why you'd red white stars on red an not blue confuses me, and putting stars and not a red maple leaf in that giant white space, tells me you don't really care about Canada's presence. I do agree logos have to evolve, but not get replaced, and certainly not by something so generic. Thumbs down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But....the crest outline represents the field of play, right? *rolls eyes* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
