2009 logo and jumper?
« on: November 03, 2008, 05:51:05 PM »
I see the Pies are making a song and dance about adding their logo to their jumper next year - link.

Does anyone know if we are going back to the 1995-2007 logo or are we keeping a modified version of this year's centenary logo minus the word centenary? I hope it's the latter.

I liked the look of the club logo on the jumper too. I hope we keep that too.

I also prefer the centenary logo but without the centenary bit.  And agree it looked good on the jumper. 

What is more important at this point though is what is the back of the jumper going to look like...let's hope it's not blank  :help

Yeah, MT that's a winner.  Let's hope we go that way.  I don't mind the previous logo (it's better than the side profile tiger head through the 90s) but it's time to move forward to another and the one you have prepared would be perfecto! :clapping

if they do that, i hope the logo is under the major sponsor!

Collingwood's looks weird!

St Kilda, Geelong have the better idea!

Hawthorn used to have it!

With due respect MT, that would look like a patchup job.
Would prefer a complete overhaul of the existing design leading into a new period.

It was a patchup job in Paint  :D.

Seriously the problem with coming up a completely new logo design now is it'll only be for 2009. 2010 is the club's 125th anniversary (Feb 10, 2010) so we'll probably come up with a new special logo design for that. By 2011 we could have a scenario where we had 4 different logos within 4 years which is a bit overkill IMO.

125th Anniversary?
Haven't we just had our Centenary? If anything seems overkill..

I still would like to see something new & sexy.
We have had that Tiger head for 14 years now and whilst it's not terrible, I reckon the ol' beast is due for a facelift.

I guess a 125th Anniversary 1885-2010 would equal more special merchandise, books and dinners to flog lol.

As for something new do you mean something like this Magic?

Mightytiges I have to say I like it.
And I thought that the 100 year logo wouldn't be able to be beaten.
It hasn't beaten it but it comes close.  :gotigers

Sorry, don't like it MT.  Reminds me too much of the disaster logo from the 90s with the side-on tiger head.  :-\ :-\

This might come under the heading of, You can please some of the people some of the times, but you can't please all the people all the time.

No need to apologise for not liking it as it isn't mine. It's the logo of US College Missouri's football (gridiron) side - the Tigers. I just put it up as something different to consider as a Tigers logo as Magic suggested. I prefer myself the altered centenary logo.
