I have it on good authority that there will be a very large crowd for the Hamilton CPL unveiling. Which Voyager’s are coming? I'll be there. Hoping these crowd predictions for the launch are accurate, and that our early membership sales blow Valour FC away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I'm anticipating being stuck on shift until at least 7:30 tomorrow, we'll over an hour from the stadium.

Oh I’m sure it is - they just reached really hard to try to make letters that don’t even look good. Why not a standard crest with a H and F and flame incorporated?

baulderdash77 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 The more I look at the HF logo the more I kinda like it. My daughter thinks it’s pretty cool and she would wear the black t shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-g-williams Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I *knew* that the sharp angles and random curvature reminded me of something, but I couldn't figure out what until people started dissecting the individual components of the logo. Guys, they totally stole this from the Klingons. The "H" is done in almost the same style as Klingon characters, and the weird flame bit at the top looks like a rearranged version of the emblem for the Klingon Empire.

Shway Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Looks like a college sports logo. Really not impressed with a lot of the CPL brands... Good thing none of the teams are around me to support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grande Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I'm going to be there tomorrow. Not a huge fan of that logo. Why is the H in two places? It kind of looks like "FJ" with the "extreme" serifs. I'm okay with the name Forge. Not thrilled, but better than Founders or Steelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickC Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I'm not very creative, not a logo designer, never much into marketing, but the logo seen in isolation looks quite bad to me. When I think of what makes Hamilton special, I don't just think of steel but also the harbour, the Niagara Escarpment (the "mountain"), the moniker of "the ambitious city", the tree canopy (how heavily treed or wooded the city is), and historically poor local government. OK, leave the last one out of consideration of incorporating it into the logo. I know you don't want too busy a crest, but I simply don't like the leaked logo. We'll see how it all comes together, and I'll still become a member, but I'm only 99% enthusiastic now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deschamp86 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I don't think its nearly as bad as everyone else is making it out to be, rather like it tbh. Also I have found that following the "explanations" of the logos, approval seems to rise, so we'll see how that changes tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Well that's awful. And it's from the most organized, most professional, highest-capacity club to boot. Oh man. So far CPL logos have been decidedly minor league, but not in any hyper-local, historical, or cheesy-lovable way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I hope that is a leak of the club's insignia rather than their logo. The logo should be something representative or meaningful rather than a something while looks like it was imprinted by a Dalek on a British monument in a Doctor Who story from 1964. I'd rather have a logo with a picture of a tiger-cat holding a soccer ball and jumping over the Hamilton city skyline than what has been posted up thread.

But honestly I don’t think FCE is bad either. Hamilton will be far and away the worst if that’s the logo - it would be insulting to even call York 9 minor league after this debacle.
