Loco for (hockey) Logos

Yeah, it's just hockey, so don't get too excited. But, with help of others, I came across two interesting posts yesterday about team's and their logos.

Wayne Kamidoi from the New York Times shared an interesting article on the Times website about the Tampa Bay Lighting logo.

Charle's Apple's ACES blog tells us about a Whaler's logo that was ripped off.

Super Bowl XLV postgame

Ben Howard from The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette sends it's page from the game. They stuck with more than one main photo as they did in the AFC title game.  The Pittsburgh Tribune Review sends in their cover to a 22-page special section they did. I do wonder why there is black screen with white lines, drop shadows on everything, and why the text isn't bold/heavy on the words "must wait." They might have had staff photogs there, but a head shot of Keisel was the best option? Let me know.

Also, the Dallas Morning News and two Star-Ledger pages: A preview, and the monday gamer. And as an extra added bonus, a page from Luke Knox and the Boston Globe highlighting Terrific Tom's unanimous MVP.

Super Bowl XLV from Dallas Morning News

Ronnie Richard sends in some pages from the Dallas Morning News. John Hancock promises more tonight, but until then we'll start with these. The Aaron Rodgers illo and layout and the Ben Roethlisberger illo and layout are by John Hancock. Ronnie Richard's layout worked well with the Michael Hogue Lombardi/Landry illustration.

  


SportsDay at the Dallas Morning News pumped out some sharp work this week. 
The team of John Hancock, Michael Rogue, Ronnie Richard and Chris Morris shines.

 

 

Super Bowl XLV

Ben Howard shares pages from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The cover illustration is by Dan Marsula. The inside page tracking every win in each team's history is by Ben.

Extra pages with cover illustration by Stacy Innerst.

Gone. and Gone.

We have all seen the LeBron cover from the Plain Dealer.
But another Plain Dealer cover I came across used the word "Gone." to describe the exit of another former Cleveland athlete — Brady Quinn. Not quite the same impact (although that day made my authentic Quinn Browns jersey completely unwearable ... ugh).

Steelers win, Jets lose

Ben Howard with page from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Also, the Star-Ledger cover, with Chris Faytok photo. Ronnie Richard shares his page from the Dallas Morning News with an assist from John Hancock on the graphic at the bottom of the page. I'm sure with the Super Bowl being in Dallas, we'll be seeing much from them in the future. Luke Knox and the Boston Globe also share their page.

Championship week primer

Michael Sansone of the Chicago Tribune was nice enough to share some work with SDO. These pages are a lead-up to the NFC title game. There is also a Seahawks pages from last week. My favorite is the time line from the double truck. Tons of information presented cleanly. Very smart.
Ben Howard shares the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette preview cover by Daniel Marsula and Steve Ziants.
The Ledger pages were done by me ... Had fun doing the Rex photo illo. Great main on cover from beat writer Jenny Vrentas.
I ate and slept FGs all week. Page tracked every field goal in Heinz Field history. Tracked misses and makes in frozen weather and winds more than 15 mph.

Chicaco vs. Green Boy

Ouch. This one hurts.

NYT Jets pages

Wayne Kamidoi sends pages from the New York Times by himself and Lee Yarosh. The Quarterbacks graphic was done by Joe Ward. The Rex (Patton) Ryan illustration was done by Sam Manchester.

Steelers vs. Ravens

Ben Howard, from the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette shares some sharp work from the win over the Ravens. And that photo on gamer cover captures the best playof the game.
