    Toronto unveils new name and logo for woman's pro hockey team.

    Toronto Scepters.

    Pays homage to Queen street (for some reason) and and also since Toronto is known as the Queen city (by absolutely no one)

    orb of unity. fuck off, seriously who comes up with this absolute shit?

    • Well makes sense, a design shop in New York that has no idea what makes Toronto Toronto. How is this going to inspire the next gen of girls to pick up a stick_niko
    • No creativity, no imagination. Completely uninspired hack job. Misses the mark on a million levels._niko
    • Yeah, it's kind of "meh"; works BUT uninspired / unimaginative IMO as well.

      Meh.

    • The logo itself is fine...for a yacht club or something._niko
    • If i was the client i would have shoved this up the agencies arse for two reasons. 1. Symbolically, the orb represents the power of God and it's a reminder...Morning_star
    • to the monarch that their authority derives from above. And most importantly 2. The Orb shape is not a million miles away from the male gender symbol.Morning_star
    • If you're gonna make up ridiculous justification for the symbolism in logos at least give it some thought.Morning_star
    • wow great point about the male symbol_niko
    • I've lived in Toronto for almost 50 years and not once have I heard anyone ever ever refer to it as the Queen City. not on signage not on ads - fucking nowhere_niko

    • Feels religious.monospaced
    • There’s a cross, a snake, and a forbidden appleGnash
