PrintHey everybody, just wanted to put up a quick post on this. I've created a new logo for the site and hope that you all like it. I've been toying with the idea for a long time and couldn't exactly find something I wanted. This just popped into my head and a few hours later I got the final product finished:
I wanted to give it some of that vintage look but keep it a little modern too (considering this is on the internet and all...). You probably already know what all the numbers around the wheel signify and if you don't, just look up at the rafters (or better yet just pretend like you know so as to not draw attention to yourself).
Of course, we've also whipped up some new t-shirts too and you can find them at the link below. As with the other t-shirts, each will be a $5 donation to Children's Hospital of Michigan.
Pick up the new shirts here!

Love it....
I don’t just like it, I love it. I has a vintage feel with a modern flair…
Geesh, Amerinadian beat me to it. Great minds….;-)
Haha
Nice to be lumped in with classy people such as you, wingsluver. You were one of my 50 readers when I was writing at THITD :)
Happy to be one...
Sorry I only found you at the start of the 19….it was great bring-back-the-memories reading + really liked the personal stories you added. I enjoyed them so much that I went through and read most of your archived blogs. Glad you are here, you are a great addition. (feeling all warm and fuzzy now :-)

Holy shit
That logo is awesome. The modern graphics and instances of the team’s history work together in perfect harmony.
classy indeed
very nice
LETS GO RED WINGS!

I like it,
but I’m not sure I like it more than the old one. The RenCen is classic iconic Detroit and, while not really Red Wings, instantly recognizable. I’m sure this one will grow on me, but I did like the old one a lot.
Not a fan of the random yellow. The only other place yellow is used on the site is to highlight new posts. As a web design major, I have to say that that is a major no-no.
Should probably mention that the actual logo is good, just not the background behind it. It’s distracting. Logos should never be distracting

I like it
I might have gone slightly less vivid of a gold, but that’s a minor quibble.

originally it was more pale
but not everything showed up on it well (The white stripe) and stuff like that
I love it,
but if Lidstrom retires soon you are gonna have to add another number to it.
Same thought...
Was my first thought when first saw the numbers on it…then decided I’d hope for at least one more season, so won’t be a factor for awhile.

LOVE it!
I have been a long time reader, but this is my first time commenting. Thought I would just slide in with the new logo.
I really like that you used the retired numbers! It was one of my favorite parts about Jimmy’s old mask, having those numbers on there. Really looks awesome!
I have a complaint.
Why did you not come up with this YESTERDAY when I was ordering shirts anyway? Now I just have to order ANOTHER shirt.
Also, where is the “OMG I FREAKING LOVE IT!” option? Your poll-writing skills need improvement.

Actually. I DID come with it yesterday, i just had to make sure it got approved before i got it put up
grrr...
The universe is conspiring against me the last few days. I want to kick fate in the junk.

I voted for "I like it"
but there should have been a “Rob needs new shorts” option. Amazing stuff. As for the t-shirts, is it possible to make a black one? Or invert the colors and make a red shirt with white logo? Nothing against your ideas, I just don’t like white shirts (one meal and it’s ruined).
100% agree...
White and I never get along…it always seems to be a one and out.

Nice job
Sir. I would like to present you with this…you well and truly deserve it for your servitude to the winged wheel…
I celebrate Festivus!!!
As an art director...
… I say: “Great Job!”
…of course… I’m a Sharks’ fan… so… that may be damning you with faint praise…
(But I’ve always had a ton of respect for the Wings…)
You’re going to sell a bucketload of t-shirts…
