Rebranding FantasyHockeySim.com

Rebranding FantasyHockeySim.com

I launched FantasyHockeySim.com as a spinoff of DetroitHockey.Net last summer and the visual elements of it were a rush job.  Getting the site out the door was my priority, so I stole design elements for FHS from DH.N and put together a logo that didn’t say “fantasy hockey” at all. Awhile ago I ranted about […]

Fixing the Joe Louis Arena Farewell Season Logo

Fixing the Joe Louis Arena Farewell Season Logo

Given my recent history, it would seem that I’m contractually obligated to dislike any graphics package any team in the Detroit Red Wings’ organization puts out. I didn’t like the Red Wings’ Winter Classic jerseys in 2014 or their Stadium Series jerseys for this year.  I don’t like their Hockeytown logo.  I didn’t like the […]

DetroitHockey.Net 20th Season Logo

DetroitHockey.Net 20th Season Logo

Today marks DetroitHockey.Net’s nineteenth birthday and over at the site, I’ve unveiled the 20th Season logo. The logo is based on the “promotional” DetroitHockey.Net logo featuring the site’s shied logo inside a roundel. This roundel is broken by a bar featuring the years 1996 and 2016. The top half of the roundel says “DetroitHockey.Net” in […]
