westbay10 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 the irony in this all... 1. the new logo has been compared to a mullet. which we all know is business in the front, party in the back... now dependant on what side you're looking at center ice, this is precisely what's going on. i'm no art major, but it's definitely either top heavy or bottom heavy from whichever side you're looking at it. 2. i've been reading a lot on here that you have to "take it with a grain of salt"... and we all know what happens to a slug when you pour salt on it.
will Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 ha ha. anyone who goes to the unveiling ought to boo like the eagles fans did when philly took mcnabb in the nfl draft. ignore the fact that donovan is one of the best nfl qbs in the league.
Braedon Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Doesn't anyone remember the TALKING PROUD campaign in Buffalo, say around the mid 1980s? Not the 1970's original (although it's close), but the one I think was associated with the WHTT radio station. Anyway, IT LOOKS JUST LIKE THE NEW LOGO. It's a Buffalo that looks to be jumping out of the paper, and I think it was yellow. If anyone has a pic, please link it. I bet that's part of the base of new logo idea.
RayFinkle Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 I like it Whatever Larry. Don't you have some water front project to go f-up?

Awesome shout-out to the genius of Talkin' Proud. That's an auspicious first post, Braedon -- kudos to you. Here's the image I found -- I think it's the right one -- not sure how close it is to the slug, though. Proud Talkin'

Stoner Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Why put the wordmark at center ice? I don't get it. Doesn't everyone in the arena and watching on TV know that it's the BUFFALO SABRES? The circle is wayyyyy too busy. Actually, I think I know why the wordmark, and not just the logo, is there. The logo is so bad it can't stand by itself. LQ said as much didn't he? "Wait till you see the whole thing." What a debacle. And, yes, the logo does matter. I am not one of these "it doesn't matter if they play in tutus" people. It matters because you have created ill will with the fan base and almost certainly bugged the players who have to wear it. Bad karma. It can come back to bite you in the end.

Proud Talkin' If you take deleware towards downtown Buffalo you can actually see some of "We're talking proud" motto/logos on some of the traffic light posts. I believe the one I am thinking of is a red Buffalo that looks like it is diving, but I have seen the one u posted as well.
IKnowPhysics Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Why put the wordmark at center ice? I don't get it. Because even Larry Quinn know the logo's a shitsmear on paper without the wordmark attached to it, and then it's just a urine stain.
Stoner Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 You are scatalogically correct, sir.

I work on Delaware, so if I see them I'll snap a photo. Thanks for the Kudos Aud Smell. First time, long time, just couldn't stay away any longer.

ReneRobert Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 Really, I can't get myself all worked up over the jersey, the logo or anything else that has no impact on the quality of the team that's on the ice. I for one have always disliked the goathead but didn't care at all what uniform they were wearing in the Conference Finals. The could skate around with nothing on but a jock strap, a blue and yellow bow tie and a tattoo of Yogi Bear and Boo Boo on their bellies as long as they win the Cup. Slug logo? Who cares? Just play good hockey. Amen, amen, and amen!!!
