- Yes! Other proposed names were Whales, Sea Lions, and Firebirds(?).garbage
- That's a really nice site, showing off the crafting of the logo etc. Love the tentacle and eye.BaskerviIle
- Would of been better green imo, go full kraken.thumb_screws
- Perhaps a dark teal color instead of the pastel aqua.utopian
- Main logo is pretty good but that secondary one is perfect_niko
- Yet more cultural appropriationGnash
- @gnash lol what? The Puget Sound is home to the largest octopus species in the world. It's spot on.garbage
- so americanmilfhunter
- Wordmark’s not great tho, is it?scruffics
- Why did Trump allow this?deadsperm
- Will their arena be called the Kraken House?BaskerviIle
- I don't think Kraken Rum has enough clout to buy the arena.deadsperm
- Seattle CRACKERS would have been more appropriate in these sensitive times.hotroddy
- Lets-Go Crak-ass!hotroddy
- @garbage - Kraken is from another culture’s mythology/religion. Why ok to take from one culture, not another?Gnash
- Because the culture it's taking from is superior not inferior.deadsperm
- As long as there are guidelines !Gnash
- There is feeling of mediocrity written all over this identity. The mark was created by Adidas's in-house team team.utopian
- It's not as much a cultural icon as a matter of language evolution. Kraken is an old norse word from many cultures, not really a cultural centerpiece for anyon.monospaced
- Did they get the Greek community's approval?i_monk
- Kraken were named by Viking sailing into warmer waters and seeing giant squid. The Seattle Squids.BustySaintClaire
- why no just "Seattle Hockey Team"?fooler
- Greeks called it something else. Mono, you have zero idea what you’re talking about. As usualGnash
- You can criticize the name, but you'd be missing the forrest for the trees. Professional sports have so many problems.nocomply
- As far as the branding work, I personally think it's great! The anchor in particular is pretty brilliant.nocomply
- I meant *forest. Not, you know, Forrest Gump.nocomply
- I like the colors too. I thought green would have been a more fitting highlight color than red. But maybe that's because the Canucks have green and blue too?nocomply
- Do you really think the logo/mark is great?utopian
- @gnash Not that you had a point to begin with, but you obviously don't know the Scandinavian roots of the city.garbage
- https://www.naha.sto…garbage
- Not that you'll read it, of course. I know you were just doing your usual make-believe at being smart bit.garbage
- I like the look of everything, I just think the name itself is kind of dumb for a hockey team - or any sporting team.stoplying
- Lol at the cultural appropriation comment. *facepalmETM
- LOL at the "Lol at the cultural appropriation comment. *facepalm"
facepalm._niko - Seattle Karen'sBonSeff
- Of course I didn’t have a point to begin with. That was the whole fucking point - to begin with. Thanks for helping make it for me, geniusGnash
- The wordmark is pretty shit imo. Looks like someone just took a shutterstock badge vector pack and changed the textcultmethod
- Yeah. The Greeks called it something else. I didn’t bring them up and their culture isn’t appropriated. Derp.monospaced
- Why insult me? I happen to know quite a lot about MY culture I’m speaking about. And it’s etymology. How am I wrong or not know what I’m talking about???monospaced
- Because facts. Why so sensitive about insults? You have no problems flinging them about to othersGnash
- The only person being sensitive is you when you're called out for being a moron.garbage
- I'm stoked because there are already the following nicknames: Fans will be Krakheads, and they play in the Krakhouse.garbage
- Kind of the way Hawks fans don't refer to Century Link as Century Link, but the Clink.garbage
- And how Trailblazers fans still call it the Rose Garden.garbage
- What facts am I an idiot for not knowing? I'm only sensitive to insults when they're undeserving. I don't insult you.monospaced
- The word "kraken" isn't tied to Greek culture. You're thinking of Clash of the Titans perhaps? That movie gives the impression it's an ancient greek thing.monospaced
- It's just a Norwegian word, and it's not a culturally sensitive symbol.monospaced
- @mono I was talking to Gnash.garbage
- I never said that the worD Kraken was tied to Greek mythology.Gnash
- No, you just made some bullshit attempt to complain about cultural appropriation, and I corrected you. I never even talked about Greek mythos, you dimbulb.garbage
- "Kraken is from another culture’s mythology/religion." Which one?monospaced
- Since we had covered that it's just a Norwegian word and not cultural, mythic or religious, I assumed you were referencing Greek. My bad.monospaced
- It's all gravy baby.garbage
