What's your favourite CFL logo?

I don't see why some don't like the new one either, and just to point out what should be obvious, but apparently isn't: Most do NOT like the slanted leaf. 53% voted for something OTHER than that (IMHO) horribly outdated logo.

And WELCOME BACK Stamps74!

Pencil crayon ? I grew up in Montreal, my mother was a freelance commercial artist, taught it for decades at Dawson Cegep, and a perk of her job was: the biggest set of Prismacolor ‘coloured pencils’ anybody could imagine. But this was fifty years ago…

Not crazy about the new CFL logo, but (as I may have said on a much earlier thread somewhere) it must have many technical advantages, in terms of where it can be easily applied. All the way from smartphone screens to the turf in a stadium.

For more commentary pro/con on the new logo, see the second link below.

In looking into the origins of ‘pencil crayon’, I came upon (first link below) which made me laugh, since I had just recently rhapsodized about the Robertson screwdriver, as I was trying to repair a kitchen appliance for somebody named Robertson.

Brand New: Opinions on corporate and brand identity work - new CFL logo

Late vote: seventies helmet. Thanks.

Would prefer the helmet logo

Needs to be spruced up.

Have the helmet logo on my phone

Has a blue outline

I chose the helmet as well .

The system locks in the date you choose and ends the poll unfortunately to count your vote .

2013-2015 The Football lets the uneducated sports fan around the World know what the symbol stands for. Got to think Global now.

Still prefer the helmet logo

The current one might be clean but needs to be spruced up by enhancing the maple leaf and replacing the 3 stripes by a mini version of the classic helmet logo.

Thanks Hank01.

Being a conspiracy theorist I used to think the "slanted maple leaf" was a knockoff of the 1987 Canada Cup trophy. That tournament was played in Hamilton - David Braley's home town - and it was such a success I thought it was odd when three years later the NHL awarded a team to Ottawa. I still think there's something fishy about Braley and the Senators and the demise of the Ottawa Rough Riders but I sure can't prove it. Call it an "uninformed hunch."

slanted leaf logo BUT with a modicfication.

Have the slanted leaf logo in a shield like NHL/NFL and then put the CFL lettering into the leaf.

That would look awesome. Somebody good with graphics should make a make-up of that.

You might be on to something:

Well … “Toronto” generally thinks it is the centre of the Canadian universe

Try making a proper shield with the lettering similar to NFL or NHL and you will have the best looking logo possible.

I simply chose the logo with the best shield and adapted that. Anything else would be a step backward. :slightly_smiling_face:

2003-15 by far!!! 2016 is terrible, sorry meant bad!!

Prefer the helmet logo.

Hopefully they modernize it and bring it back.

I prefer a dead duck on a helmet .

They need to remove the Canadian part and leave in any American woke pictures of some guy kneeling while wearing rainbow hat . I watch football but this political BS and asking money for my tax dollars to support a league who has zero Canadians at QB is a joke especially one who LOST a human rights tribunal which today if he won he probably would have won a substantial amount .

Leagues who lose human rights tribunals against its own should not exist .

I would not be interested in a league that assigns quarterbacks based solely on nationality.

There are around a million Canadians working in the U.S. every day. I don't have a problem with a relative handful of talented Americans playing in Canada (and sometimes sticking around to become citizens and making a life for themselves).

I think it's wrong to complain about Americans winning Canadian jobs when Canadians win American jobs on a regular basis.

You think its okay for a league to discriminate based on nationality .

I disagree with the statement.

The world needs to know that it’s a league based in Canada.

The NFL has stars in its shield.
