By the way, I normally wouldn't do this but I feel the need to point out that the bird in Option #3 is NOT a penguin even though that seems fairly obvious.

As promised, below are a handful of the logos that were submitted but not selected as a finalist. If you think one of these should be the Pittsburgh Miners logo, select "non-finalist" in the poll and tell us your pick in the comments.
I chose number one for the keystone shape (PA) and the triangle (Pittsburgh). The black and gold color are great, and even though the third option is NOT a penguin, it sure looks similar.
Had the third option been a canary, like the second non-finalist, I would've voted for that, hands down. As it is, I voted for finalist #1. I think finalist #2 was intended for and would make a terrific secondary logo.
My reason? Well number 2 missed the mark with the pick and shovel, it would have been perfection if the shovel were a hockey stick instead. For that, I give my vote to number 1. Shame really.
I went with #2, the #1 option just seemed too familiar to me to think it was an original conept. That's not a dig onteh artist, just my thoughts onteh matter. The top 3 were deffintely way better than the non-finalists
In my eyes finalist #1 and #3 were tied as far as design goes, but I just cant see #1 being on the front of a jersey (idk why, I just can't); it could be a nice secondary though.
Excellent concepts all around. I voted option #2, but I'd rather see a P than an M (the Miner concept is already represented in the pick in the shovel, so give a nod to the city with the lettermark). But Option #1 is excellent too ... would make a terrific shoulder patch.
This whole thing has been a case of asking for too much, too fast. If there was more of a window for people to work on individual teams rather than rush them out the quality would be far superior to what we've been seeing so far.
Thanks, but actually that just made me more confident in my vote for #3. I still think #1 would be a nice secondary though, mostly because of the inclusion of all the meaningful symbols (keystone, triangle, etc).

ReplyDeleteWow. All of those Non-finalists are way worse, good pick of the finalists.
ReplyDeleteI chose #2 because it looks like a great secondary logo that can work as a primary, sort of like how the bruins primary logo is.

ReplyDeleteI chose the number 2, I think it's nice. I had a great idea for this one but with my total lack of talent I couldn't submit it.
ReplyDeleteNumber 2 is awesome, but I chose 1.

Damn, I didn't even make the Non-finalists... That sucks. :-(
ReplyDeleteAll these are pretty terrible, but number 2 is the best of those bunch.

ReplyDeleteI like the first one because of the triangle and the three dots representing the three rivers.
