Description: The original Johnny Canuck was a WWII-era pilot ... basically Canada's version of Captian America. So with that thought in mind, I created this concept as a reinvention of Vancouver's identity.

In the goggles, I dropped in an homage to the original Canucks logo.

Humanot have you posted this on Sportslogos.net forums yet? There are going to be tons of praise on the boards for this. I love it. Nice work again my friend.

dache said on Jun. 08 '07

Inspiring style, makes me want to make sports logos too :^)

Thomas said on Jun. 08 '07

Magnifique!

WOW, great logo.

studio7designs said on Jun. 08 '07

That looks super sweet!

firebrand said on Jun. 08 '07

Superb. I could've sworn he had a beard when I looked at it earlier!

Nice!!! It can't replace the heritage logo but I think it's leaps and bounds above the Orca...

nido said on Jun. 12 '07

brandsimplicity said on Jun. 13 '07

Oh,this hot.The profile is very powerful.

sisudesigns said on Jun. 13 '07

I love it. Raise the V on theshirt and the guys head so that the top half of the blue doesnt distract from the V letterform possibly. But Its solid work humanot.

I'm voting just for the subtle yet clever ice sheet background.

Parab�ns pelo conceito da marca, ficou bel�ssima

eeh said on Jun. 14 '07

extremely nice mark. has the canucks corporate seen this yet?

humanot said on Jun. 14 '07

Wow guys .. thanks for all the kind words and great feedback. I created a corresponding "uniform set":http://humanot.com/_/vancouver_id_02.jpg for this as well ... would love to know what you guys think.

logomotive said on Jun. 14 '07

Fantastic!, they also look great and what I like is how simple and clean they look, really enhance the mark. Sports logos and uniforms are your cup of tea thats for sure. Great work.

firebrand said on Jun. 14 '07

The kit looks fantastic.

sisudesigns said on Jun. 14 '07

Humanot it looks like the old hartford whalers jersey colors. I dunno, not a big fan of Bank blue and bank green. ( Bank boston's logo used those colors and Iam just really familiar with seeing them together.)

brady said on Jun. 15 '07

finally. the current logo is an orca. an orca is not a canuck. now we finally know what a canuck is.

raja said on Jun. 15 '07

all your work is top class

Bernard Kowalski said on Jun. 20 '07

This kills the Orca logo. I'm really sick of the native art refrence in Van.

wall said on Jul. 03 '07

Wow men............

bogglins said on Aug. 12 '07

cool.. old time memory.. nice!

b3nder said on Aug. 14 '07

I love this. I like the clean linework of the illustraton. The use of positive and negative space to create shadows is very nice indeed. Well done

dhalarewich said on Aug. 15 '07

Beautiful work. Glad to see a local canuck creating great work :) I sure hope you're going to submit this to the team. You never know what may come of it - so at least give yourself the chance and don't chicken out. Get this logo to the team in a way that stands out - their current logo sucks.

bigjerk said on Aug. 22 '07

Canucks need to adopt this, down with Orcas!

moverdrive said on Sep. 19 '07

Love the attention to detail here (strong shapes used to illustrate and the ice finish in the background). This will end up being timeless. Great work!

jjjost said on Jan. 15 '08

That is way better than the logo they have now. Awesome!

kcullinan said on Mar. 14 '08

really really great

sebastiany said on Feb. 13 '09

I really like it, but also believe that could be made simpler

onelove said on Feb. 17 '09

[sigh] i wish i was an illustrator :(

logomotive said on Feb. 26 '09

It's a sad sad sad design world when a design like this does not get more respect than other designs that may be more clever or simple. This blows the doors off some of the those simple clever ones.illustrative design is highly undervalued in our little "logo design" . I'm sure this guy can pull off some clever simple ones also.

THEArtistT said on Feb. 26 '09

perfect as is. I am an illustrator, but I don't think I am even half as good as this guy (and I think a lot of myself).

Tobias Goth said on Apr. 11 '09

Stunning artwork!

cshold said on Aug. 18 '09

This is one of the best logos I have ever seen. I have shown it around to a few people and we are all wondering why this isn't on the jersey yet. Great work.

epsilon said on Aug. 18 '09

> we are all wondering why this isn't on the jersey yet because Canucks do not deserve it .. it's like attaching the Bentley badge to a Hyundai :)

dhalarewich said on Jan. 08 '10

I love this logo. I wish the Canucks would use it. The current orca logo simply stinks and was silly move made by upper management trying to stroke their own egos.

mlinkstudios said on Jun. 07 '10

Saw this exact logo being used as a rebranding of Flying Otter Grill in Victoria, BC. Did you design it for them? They aren't using it on their website though.?
