    Re: New WCHA logo

    i don't think anyone can complain that they moved away from that horrid teal color...and the larger W is probably for all the Wins

      Re: New WCHA logo

      I saw this on the WCHA site:

      A total of 96 WCHA-member team alumni saw game action in the National Hockey League during the most recent 2008-09 regular season. All 10 current WCHA-member teams had at least two alums in the NHL (UAA - 2; CC - 10; DU - 9; MTU - 6; UM - 13; UMD - 5; MSU - 5; UND - 16; SCSU - 13; UW, 17).
      I thought it was surprising UMN only had 13, to make them tied for 3rd place with SCSU.

        They actually should have used a red motion W... (Go to it, Photoshoppers!)

          As someone who knows a lot about this kind of thing, it's certainly a disappointing effort, one that reeks of a low-budget approach and a bad client.

          Adrenalin is much better firm this shows- my guess is that they were hamstrung by a bad client (the WCHA) with poor taste.

          The campaign slogan should almost never be "locked up" with the logo. Slogans come and go - logos need to do their job without being cluttered with more stupidity.

          And the slogan is not worthy of America's top college hockey league. Telling people that your league just got tougher implies that it wasn't tough in the first place. And why is this at all relevant in the much larger Big 10 discussion?

          The larger W adds nothing, just further alienates other leagues by emphasizing westernness.

          They should have stayed with what they had (simple) or rebranded entirely. The extra tweaks look forced and are unneeded.

                  Couidn't agree more.
                  Changing the color --OK. Everything else, why bother. When you have an indentifiable brand, leave it alone.

                          This is the same league who should have a game of the week on television but chooses not to. They have zero confidence in themselves to sell their product. I have heard this first hand by past and current players in the WCHA. Pathetic.
