Penrith Logo

[Flapper]

The font is what's keeping me from totally liking it. I can understand not having Penrith on the badge though (a lot of dickheads have some incredibly incorrect assumptions about the City of Penrith which harm the Panthers from a marketing perspective)

 

[Foreign Legion]

he looks slightly constipated.. Are they going to change the team colours also?

 

[Diesel]

Badge looks tacky and don't like the fact that it doesn't have 'Penrith' on it.

All part of their re-branding as Western Sydney Panthers

 

[Raider_69]

not a fan, looks scrappy and unprofessional

 

[POPEYE]

Looks fine to me, has an air of solidarity about it. I'm positive that in this new age of team ownership the avatar 'Panthers' is designed to conjour up thoughts of a powerful conglomerate, not merely a Rugby League team based in a humidity depressive joint at the end of an expressway

Needs more teal.

Geez... It looks sloppy... A quick look on google..

 

[ellskimore]

I like it. They did say this was a sneak peak, so they may have edited out a badge or other details until the full release. But the Panther itself looks good, a big improvement on the current one.

 

[shiznit]

Upon looking the the images on google... I HAD to pot his one as soon as I saw it... :lol:

Hahah^


Im not a fan, but im happy something proactive is being done re our branding.

That logo is f**king rubbish and the text is not much better.

It looks like a gorilla grew a tail and went and got it's nails done.........

Massive thumbs down from me.

 

[de$$ie]

sorry but thats f**king terrible. like one of the worst panther (not just penriff) logos ive seen.

 

[Scotty03]

Honestly that logo is the worse I've seen for a long time.

I'm not going to loose sleep over it, but geez it looks unprofessional and underdone.

So they've taken Penrith out of the name and gone with a logo that looks like a 12yr old made on MS Paint.
Not happy.

 

[kdalymc]

Logo looks dog shit.
Also, cool now we can have anniversarys from when the club was talked about, when the club started its first season , and when the club was one year old.... Pffft

 

[Son of Minto]

What a shitty logo. Belongs back in 1993.

 

[carlosthedwarf]

What a shitty logo. Belongs back in 1993.

I don't even think 1993 would take it

 

[Perth Red]

Looks like it stood on an electric plate and got a shock! Sucks.

All of the logos in the early 90s looked good. Every team that has changed their logo since then has made it worse (Canterbury realised it and went back to a version of their old design that looks fantastic). So many teams have logos that don't stand out on their jerseys.

The worst change though has been teams divorcing themselves from their geographical base (as this new Penrith logo does) and focussing on the nickname only. The NRL and the media have been pushing this since Superjoke, and I'm frankly sick of it. I don't follow "The Dragons", I follow the "St. George-Illawarra Dragons". I like the fact our logo has the words St. George and Illawrra, but doesn't have Dragons written anywhere. I've noticed channel 9 scribble "Dragons" underneath our logo sometimes because of this.

The way I look at it, the biggest sport in the world, soccer, doesn't see the need to follow a marketing trend and ditch referring to teams by their geographical location, so I'm a bit bemused why every other bloody team sport seems to feel the need to do so.

Time for Penrith's annual total overhaul of image recognition.

That is significantly underwhelming compared to what I expected.

But what's worse is the constant rebranding. The actual logo (to me, anyway) is far less significant than the market recognition of a team that constantly re-evaluates its image. I'd be happy if we stick with this logo and the new jersey colour scheme for the next 5 years for the sake of consistency.

The new jersey is supposed to be gold trimmed, which I don't mind the sound of. But to be honest, the Licorice allsorts were the most instantly recognisable jersey's in penrith's history. You'd think if we wanted a recognisable, iconic image we'd have gone with that.

It's what happens when you let marketing trample over history for quick fix solutions. Think of all the hugest sporting clubs in the world New York Yankees, Manchester United, LA Lakers, Boston Red Sox, Real Madrid, Bayen Munich, Liverpool FC. And a massive population isn't required when you consider the Green Bay Packers. Dare I say it the highest crowds in this country belong to "Collingwood", not the magpies.

They all still proudly represent their area, unlike that stupid-rugby comp: Stormers vs Reds = who cares?

I'm probably just preaching to the converted here though.
