Scrolling through the 3rd Jersey thread, I couldn't help but notice many debates on what the jersey or LOGO should look like. Because of varied and numerous opinions on that thread, I decided to create this new topic. I'm opening up the polls to see what the 'close to 4000 members' on this forum really think.

"Webbed Foot" D Logo



Now, there's nothing wrong with being passionate about a topic or an idea, but please RESPECT other people's opinions when posting your comments.

Here's the question...

What do you think the team logo should look like?

Cast your vote and post your comments. If you vote "Something New Altogether" then feel free to post your creative idea.

C-YA 'round the forum!

I'm definitely for the web-footed D. The idea is to have the D to represent the Ducks but the web-foot kinda fits right into the creativity of using the "D".

[Reb]

Ooop! I believe I voted incorrectly. Lose the Anaheim Ducks part and bring back the old logo with the new team colors.
THAT logo will be etched in my mind, and on my Grimson sweater, till I die. It's unique and memorable. So yust giff me the old logo without the "Anaheim Ducks". They all know WE ARE from Anaheim and WE ARE the DUCKS!!! And we don't take no crap from anyone.

[wildwing64]

I like the old logo - but I didn't vote for it because it probably won't ever be brought back, and many fans, as far as I can tell, want it to be left in the past. Where I'm from, not many people even know or care that this NHL team even exists, recognising this awesome logo only from the horrendous movies, so I generally don't like wearing it in public (I'd love to see it return as a shoulder logo on a future jersey).

I've grown to like the wordmark - but I didn't vote for it because in my opinion, it's too weak to be called an identity. Should really be moved to a third jersey or something, or got rid of completely.

I also like the D logo - but I didn't vote for that either. While it's unique and creative, and I would choose it as our primary logo over all the ones the Ducks have used, it's still not strong enough on its own. Mainly because outside of the Ducks fanbase, not many people can see that it looks like a duck's foot. Some think it looks like one of Batman's Batweapons, others think it looks like a UFO.


And for all of the reasons above, I voted for something new altogether. Featuring a flying duck as the logo. I mean, this team is named the ducks. Where is the duck? I don't see a duck. The Sharks use a shark, the Coyotes use a coyote, the Penguins use a penguin, the Thrashers have a thrasher, the Predators have a predator of some sort, the Bruins have an alternate logo with a bear, so there's no reason the Ducks can't have a duck logo.

"But a duck looks wimpy," so-and-so says, "and like a target." Well, you know, fans of other teams that hate the Ducks are going to make it seem like that anyway, because they are childish and have nothing better to do. Deal with it. The Thrashers may sound intimidating, but in reality they are named after a bird which I'm sure isn't all that intimidating. Also, how can anyone think that the Ducks sounds more ridiculous as a team name than the Penguins? (Not that that's a bad name for that team, but hopefully you can see where I'm coming from).

"But there's not much you can do with a duck", somebody else might say. Three words for this naysayer: YES THERE IS.

I'd like to see the webbed D as the primary logo, with the current logo as shoulder patches. I think logos should be simple, and, well, not something you should need to squint your eyes to see/read.

I'm also not a fan of a flying duck logo. It would remind me too much of the old NES game Duck Hunt, and it seems more like a minor league or college logo. Not an NHL one. Is there even a single logo in the NHL that is like that right now? None come to mind for me.

I voted for the webbed "D", but I like some of these Ducks/Duck heads in that last link (the "IS").

With the current color scheme, I'd like to see these. Can anyone here do that? It'd be interesting to see.

And while I think the webbed "D" may look the best, you have very good points about the Sharks, Coyotes, Penguins, Predators, and Thrashers. They have put animals on their jerseys that look good and represent the team. The Ducks could do it, too. You can make a Duck look tough - just no "flying target" concepts. I like the Duck head or Duck bust.

[Captain-Crunch]

I will NEVER, in my life, EVER turn down a chance to vote for the old Mighty Ducks logo, and definitely for the old Mighty Ducks colors. I realize they are all but out of the question, but I grew up bleeding those colors, and I will swear by them for my whole life.

Plus I'm not a big fan of gold.

But honestly, the old logo with new colors would be pretty cool (again, unrealistic expectations), and I'd certainly love to see it on a future jersey (if nothing else, it would actually look good as a shoulder patch, I think).

But as far as current logos go, the webbed 'D' would be where I think we should go. As I expressed in a discussion with DK, I like logos that are more along the lines of pictures, rather than text.

All in my humble and quacked up opinion.

#3 looks good. They sharpened the edges to give the duck attitude. #2 isn't bad either. The duck is spreading its wings, but it doesn't quite fall into the Duck Hunt category for me.

That's it for me. I don't like the rest.

Those were the two I liked. I could see those on a jersey, but I don't think they will go in that direction.

[Reb]

I couldn't disagree more, mon ami.
Remove "Anaheim Ducks" and leave the OLD Logo with the new color scheme!

I still wear my "Grimson sweater" with pride AND I'm going to be employing it in my pool shootin' competitions.
If they had a "Selanne sweater" with the old Logo in the new colors, I buy it in a heartbeat!

Someone, anyone, get me Susan's email address and I'll do my damndest to sell her on the idea.
We are the DUCKS!

GO DUCKS GO!!!

I couldn't agree more Wildwing64. Let me just throw this into the mix... the University of Oregon doesn't seem to have any hang-ups when it comes to a duck representing their school spirit and team.

I was mainly hinting at the first three in that link - particularly #2 and 3. Only thing I didn't like about #1 was the choice of colours.

I'd take either of those two if I had to pick a new logo for the team, but I still prefer GFB's flying duck.


@WILD WING MX - There's also the Stevens Ducks, who've made their duck look big, bad and tough. It works for them, but that's a direction I hope the Anaheim Ducks never go in. I don't mind a sharp logo with attitude, but just... not too much, because otherwise it feels horribly generic and cartoony. The very last thing I want to see our Ducks in is something like this. (No offense to the guy who designed it, it's just not my thing )

Hey Reb, I commend your effort if it's genuine, however I think the effort would be futile because I just don't think the front office cares.

A big amen to that! They don't!
However, I'm a fan of Beavers. OSU.

I agree, the front office doesn't care.
But, I'll tell you what, "If they put the OLD Logo with the NEW color scheme, I'd bet they'd make a lot of money."
That's it. That's the ticket. Appeal to their greed factor.

I wouldn't spend a red cent on anything with the Mighty Ducks logo in the new colors. That would be disrespectful to the old brand and the new brand.

That's also why having the old logo with the new one below it is abominable at best.

NOT! We'll have to agree to disagree, mon ami.

Hey DK, I think you misunderstood my intention of the 1st pic that I posted. It's supposed to represent 2 separate logos. The 1st being the Mighty Ducks Logo-New Team Colours as compared to the 2nd one being the Typographical Mark Logo, in this case an oval. My posting isn't intended to show 1 big logo, combining the 2. Consider my 2 posted pics as 3 separate logos.

[Reb]

I don't think of that as a Mighty Ducks logo. I view it as a Wild Wing logo. AND he is still our mascot!

Fair enough

However, I've seen that as a proposal for a new logo, i.e. both logos combined.

Yeah I know, but I couldn't find another Mighty Ducks Logo with the new team colours in my quest for a pic. So I chose that particular one. I have made the proper adjustment, in order to correct the misunderstanding. If you go to my 1st post of the thread and look beside the pic, you'll understand what I mean.

[WILD WING MX]

Personally, I voted for the Mighty Ducks Logo with The New Team Colours (Big surprise, huh?). I would love to see it ressurected from the ashes, like a phoenix. As Todrick had informed me, the Ducks franchise OWNS the logo. I would like to think it was purchased along with the team for a good reason. Comeback perhaps? Those who love it can only hope.

However, my 2nd vote would have been "something different altogether". I favour this particular LOGO...





A great pic of a flying DUCK. That's right, a DUCK. The animal we so PROUDLY call ourselves by. It should be smack-dab in the middle of our Home and Away jerseys. We should allow it to be free... let it be... let it breathe. This is who we are!

I mean, "C'mon people, this is the 21st Century. It won't take an awful lot, to top what we have now."

[Reb]

That's nice MX, but I just don't think that Duck looks mean enough. That's why I love the original logo.
The Wild Wing Goalie mask IS da bomb, man! I kid you not.

Reb, don't you recognize who's duck that is?

That's your little baby-duck avatar! ALL "GROWED" UP!
