You're just jelous.

[jovofan]

Wow Roozter, what a pathetic attempt at debating you just did. You failed to even acknowledge the well-reasoned and logical points people were making in an effort to explain why your reasoning was flawed and instead of simply responding in an intelligent and well-reasoned manner of your own, you resort to calling people band wagoners and whining like a child. Grow up. I get that you don't like the orca, you're not the only one. But there's also a lot of people who DO like the orca, like myself. However, just because you don't like the orca doesn't mean you have the right to call the people who do like it brainwashed by Orca Bay or accuse them of not being a fan long enough to actually have a valid opinion.

Isn't that Chilliwack's logo?. You've come up with a good name for it.

LOL! Whoops.

I have actually seen someone else on this board refer to it ("stink-in-rink") as such, so I can't take credit...

And in my case it was just a typo.

sry for being a lil off topic but ... how does a lion represent BC?

Mountain Lions are in BC. That is why the logo looks like a Mountain Lion (a.k.a. Cougar) instead of a African Lion. That said a team name doesn't have to represent the city.

The point is that a logo should represent the team name. i.e. The orca logo should represent a Canuck. To me I let C represent canucks, and the orca represent the city/province, and I'm fine with it and like the logo. Orca Bay was a holding company for the Canucks, Grizzlies, and GM Place. The Orca is not a corporate logo as the corporation only owns the team and the building they play in, it doesn't benefit them. The Vintage Stick and Rink is the same concept basically, a C to represent the Canucks and a hockey rink to represent the sport being played. The Skate had the Canucks on the jersey and again something representing hockey. With the orca they just switched it to something representing the province.

The only "appropriate" logo we have used so far is Johnny Canuck. But that was pre-NHL and doesn't have enough history with the team, or modern reference, to justify it as a primary logo. They could do a redesign, but it would end up looking like the giants logo.

Take this for what you will, and I’m not lying either. I’m usually the guy who calls out liars.

My dad was on the Sky Train today because our vehicle is in the process of getting fixed and on the way home from work, he told me that he talked to a guy that worked at GM Place and the guy who worked at GM Place told my dad that he saw Johnny Canuck as the logo.

Once again, I’m not lying about this and I highly doubt that he saw anything, but the news is slow anyway.

Trust me, the Canucks logo isn't going to be Johnny Canuck for sure. The GM place guy is probably lying!

I believe you though!

Why don't we just get off topic again.

Nonis and Zimmerman said it's the Orca, so dream on.

Hey, you can think whatever you want. I’m just passing the news along.

I wasn’t there so I don’t know how legit that guy even was. We’ve already heard Nonis say that it’s going to be the Orca and who knows, that guy could have been a Janitor just looking for attention.

When did I say its not going to be the Orca, I already know its the Orca, I said it's not going to be Johnny Canuck for sure, I didn't say it's going to be Johnny Canuck for sure.

I think there might be a chance that JC could be some sort of secondary logo.

This is something I haven't heard anybody from the organization talk about. We know the Orca will be the primary mark. I haven't heard anything from Aquilini, Zimmerman, or Nonis stating what the secondary mark will be. Johnny C, stick/rink, Orca, or something new. Who knows?

[Luie 4 Government]

has nonis actually confirmed anything yet im very disapointed why could't he say something like giving us a little hint every couple days

I'm anti-orca, but not because of what the orca represents.

I think the logo is actually quite clever - it does have alot of subtle symbolism, but...
It's too busy - I like simple, classic logos, like stink-in-rink

I agree 100%! A standard, simple, distinctive logo is what makes a team easily identifiable and can make a name for itself. The vintage is simple yet very cool and when you see it, you automatically think 'Canucks.' Yes, with the Orca, you can also see it and think "Canucks" but the vintage (especially with the stand-out colour sheme) in that regard is a step ahead.

It's simple, classic and the most attractive logo I believe in the NHL.

It's unfortunate that Nonis has comfirmed that it is in fact the Orca as the main logo. I am disapointed but optimistic that they have come up with something that can make it look good on our boys come this October
