PrintWe hope you like the new site logo in the upper left corner of the page. Yankee worked closely with Kreider Designs and we were presented with a few concepts. The NM crew voted on the one you see as the final design. So once again, a big thanks to Mr. Shaun Kreider for doing such an excellent job on the visual updrade!

Looks good
And I may be about to sound like a complete noob, but where does “Nucks Misconduct” come from, and what’s the background for the logo?
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
We wanted Canucks Misconduct but were not allowed to use it for copyright purposes. Yankee and I, from what I recall, liked the sound of it, plus we’re both a couple of badasses who write with an edge. Hence the Misconduct.

Marx looks upon Vancouver hockey
and shakes his head. The bourgeois hockey players benefiting from the hard work (in the form of TV and ticket revenue created through outrageous cable and ticket prices) of the proletariat NM commenters and Canuck hockey fans. The proletariat are not even fully compensated for their contributions, as the Canucks have yet to win a Cup in 40 years and have gone through 5 to 10 year periods of mediocrity in which the proletariat have been forced to watch the revenue THEY create go to waste on unpleasant charlatans named Messier and Keenan. There was hope that a revolution would emerge out of the Great Rebellion of 1994 in which the Canucks fans proletariat voiced their opinions on failings of the bourgeois on the grandest stage in the form of riots, but what has followed has been another 16 years of futility worsened by rising ticket and cable prices. This year, the proletariat hope to finally receive proper compensation in the form of a Cup win. This year, a hero who knows the struggles of the proletariat will rise and distinguish himself from the masses. His name…. is Burrows.

My two cents...
I think it’s great, the concept is awesome. It just kind of sticks out that it’s so much darker and less crisp than the old one. Like, the old one looked like it was a vector drawing, and this one looks like a raster image, hence the fuzziness. (If you don’t understand what I am babbling about, don’t feel bad, it’s not important).
I am sure the darkness was a part of the design, though, so we will probably have to just get used to it.

Good eye, sir, but you’re only partly right. This one actually is a vector drawing that has a rastered texture over it. Grunge was key for me to play off of the ‘misconduct’. I get the knocks that it’s a little on the dark side (I am a Flyers fan after all) but I think it works. To each their own though, no hard feelings to those who disagree.

Cool!
Thanks for popping in and clarifying. As I said, I was pretty sure that it was part of the design.
I’ve done a bit of web design myself, and I’m much more familiar with vector drawing than Photoshop effects. All of it has been self-taught, no formal training of any kind, but I really enjoy doing it. Currently I use Inkscape for all of my vector work, I love the fact that it’s totally free and it still has so many features.
Great work! I always enjoy finding out how something was done.

No problem. I’m much more comfortable with vector work now. It’s so much nicer and easier to manage. I’m pretty much self taught too, got a lot of tutorial from my former supervisor at my job. Was lucky enough to be given a chance by a small company near where I live, unfortunately it later went out of business but that’s just life.
I’ve been thinking of checking inskscape out, mostly because Adobe is so freakin’ expensive and I only have it on my crappy dell.

I like it. The only negative is the difference in size between viewing it on the front page and on the individual article pages. That’s likely more of a site design issue than a logo issue (and a Shifty’s OCD issue), but it lines up better on the article pages. If the adminds are able to choose a darker green for the menu that may improve the look even more.
(I’m in the brighter camp also, at least just for the text.)
