Nice logo,

Now can you apply your skills to the Raptors?

I can't stand this Husky fad. Am I the only one who absolutely hates it?

What kind of childhood did some you guys have? Dinosaur trumps dog!

Great work man. I think blank eyes would make it a bit less cartoonish, just my opinion.

Im not only tired of the huskies crap but the fact that everyone and their mother feels the need to make a thread about it. Be it voting or making their own.

If we're upgrading the logo, no matter Raptor or Husky we need to make it vicious. Most people don't know what a Raptor looked like and likely assume it was similar to a T-Rex. We have the most talented board on Realgm and I wonder if anyone could play off the image I posted below.

Meaning the Husky concept. The Husky logos have been very good but the reinvent the brand concept is a needless diversion. The Raptors brand has brand equity and integrity. OK maybe not the most winning brand but it hasn't really hurt the value of the franchise or been responsible for the horrible franchise won-loss and post season record. The Grizzlies changed locations and they still kept their very average brand. OKC went another route. We are not changing locations so IMHO the Raptors we shall be. Branding, unless targeted to rebuild a damaged or misunderstood image or reputation, is most certainly a navel gazing exercise. One more thing to sell and promote which is totally unnecessary. New and improved Raptors is more appropriate than retro Huskies from some obscure league from another time. This is now. This is the team. Let's not second guess what we want to cheer for. But above all else don't settle for resembling other brands, Bobcats, Grizzlies, Timberwolves. I didn't like Raptors when it was announced but it evolved and built equity slowly. Be warned. MLSE reinvents the wheel at its own peril. Brian should work on what combo packages can build the largest fan base not what jersey and persona we wish to emulate.

Great Logo...

Reminds me a little of the Sudbury Wolves logo with a little less blood and a little more animated but more Canadian content.

I like it. Gives the team a unique identity. I don't want to be just another team amongst Yank teams. We are unique. Embrace it.

Nope.

That's only one species of Dromaeosauridae, which contains Raptor in its name. The term Raptor, in laymen terms, refers to Dromaeosauridae.

Dromaeosauridae is a family of bird-like theropod dinosaurs. They were small- to medium-sized feathered carnivores that flourished in the Cretaceous Period. The name Dromaeosauridae means 'running lizards', from Greek dromeus (δρομευς) meaning 'runner' and sauros (σαυρος) meaning 'lizard'. In informal usage they are often called raptors[3] (after Velociraptor), a term popularized by the film Jurassic Park; a few types include the term "raptor" directly in their name and have come to emphasize their supposed bird-like habits.


These Dinosaurs are generally thought of as one of the most feared hunters during the dinosaur period due to their speed. They also hunt in small groups, one of the few species to do that if i'm not mistaken.

As you can see, Raptors were very real, and they were badass.

I get what you are saying. Other than that the logo is good though. Simple, symmetrical, clean.

I agree, blank eyes would look 10 times better.
