    Hi. I'm the graphic designer.

    I hope everyone reads the motive behind this project on the Facebook group page and can get behind the effort... Feedback is welcome!

    Thanks.

    Keep it the same +1. Don't fix something that ain't broken.

    If the logo was to ever change, I would want to see a more traditional football shield than another "logo".

    It kind of looks like the cover to an Ayn Rand novel.

    What would you consider a more traditional shield, as an example?

    Well, i mean, just look at Europe. Their shields to me, look classier. TFC has one (it pains me to say that) that looks pretty good too.

    OK I see what you mean, it's the shape of the shield.

    Nah, not so much. I mean, shape, yea... but it's the actual content of the logo (ie the three guys).

    I see I see. So what's the general feeling on the guys? Do we need guys in our logo?

    My thought was, we just need more badass looking guys. But maybe they should go altogether?

    good piece of evolutionary design....a refresh, not a rebranding....

    Agreed on the evolutionary nature - if we stick with they guys it's great but I say sack 'em.

    That's a good way to put it Frankie... A complete rebranding would be super expensive and probably too drastic. My thought is, an evolution of the logo can blend in with what we already have more easily.

    Keep the same logo we have. This one is good but i like ours better.

    Get rid of the 3 guys perhaps. A more coat-of-arms type look. Something indicative of the city/state.

    Nice effort, actually, but I think we need to keep it as is.

    Paris, of course I'm not going to take a critique personally. THE BOLD, UNDERLINE, AND EXCLAMATION POINT I TAKE VERY PERSONALLY HOWEVER. jk

    If I'm in the minority in thinking that our current logo is sloppy and doesn't represent the team well, I won't lose sleep. But, I want opinions from everywhere. So here I am.

    Evolutionary or not, a redesign of any scale is an 12-18 month process per MLS requirements...and any gear/branding with the old logo would have to be replaced at the cost of ownership.
