It takes the aspects from the coat of arms which actually represent the city. As for the FC part, it could either be placed in the sun or within the top two black/blue squares.
I figure if I can do this with paint of all things, Edmonton could get someone to come in and create a much better logo than what they have.
That is one badass coat of arms!Originally Posted by RealG-TFC
they could have used those wings in Edmonton's CofA
That ball was the official ball of the NASL so it was kind of natural for them to include it.
The middle is the safe pick as you can at least ensure your lettering isn't going to get lost in the background colour (whatever that colour may turn out to be).First reaction definitely is all the effects on it, beveling, stroke on the Edmonton. Not sure about the colour choice, would have to see why the designer chose it. To me, there's nothing unique about this, it just looks like a very generic soccer logo with nothing in it that really says "Edmonton".
Which is too bad because another USSF team, St. Louis, clearly invested in their identity and IMO is really strong.
The gold lettering in 1 and 3 needs some sort of contrast factor ie a drop shadow or a hairline.
If you check out the logos against white, it works better than the grey here on the post.
Not to mention - go to the AC St. Louis site or Flikr and see their kits. The entire logo rolls out really well across all mediums.
The FC Edmonton might look 'ok' standing alone and on the home page of the website, but did they think how it will look on their kits? Or TShirts? Or even better, flags and banners? How many variations have you seen with the TFC logo on Flags and Banners - what will we see in Edmonton? A big blue and black flag with a 70s clipart soccer ball in the middle? A giant beveled "FC"? Wooo!

Gotta say I like the last two designs. Too much going on with the gold star and full city name on the first one.
Gets 4/5 from me. The name itself gets a big fat donut.

Meh, it's okay.
I would definitely use some of the elements from it to make a logo.
The banner overhead would have been better than what they are using, and around the pioneers waist...there's your clubs colours...copper and blue not to mention it's a perfect design for their first scarf.
The scepter behind the crest is intreaging. I would have worked that in somehow.
I like it when footy teams add the ball to their badges - so it's not confusing for the fans. Baseball teams do that a lot as well. Birds sitting on bats and things like that.
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
Edmonton logo isnt that bad, i mean it could be worse and look like the White Caps logo or San Jose Earthquakes or Kansas City Wizards, i mean now those are pure shit logos, hell crap names to. But THe Edmonton Crest looks really easy, like you could make that by copy and pasting different soccer crests and put them all in 1 in and could make it all in about 5 mins.
WHy is it that the old teams knew how to make really good logos, the best logos in Basball, Hockey, Basketball, and Football often the old skool ones, it aint just soccer where teams today got shit logos, look at the old hockey logos compared to the many shitty hockey logos today. Teams like the Red Wings, Blackhawks, even logos easy like the Boston Bruins showed class. Much better then the new Avalance, Thrashers, Wild and Blue Jackets.
As bad as the FC Edmonton logo may be, I still have to admit that it's better than half of the crests used by the CSL. Not the White Eagles though, that one is badass. And have you seen their website? Awesome.
While I'm not crazy about FC Edmonton's logo, I did manage to create a kit set inspired by it.

TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
Just had a look, and its easily the best team crest I've seen so far in North America,
...IMHO
So Edmonton is using the quarters design on their jersey?... I like that!
Still can't stand their logo unfortunately.
It's his own fan rendering, not their real kit. I do like it tho.
