Just found these lodged with IP Australia from the same people who lodged the name Western Bears on the same date.
Seems to be the new logo minus any wordmarks.
I like the 'W' on the cheeks, signifying WA. I like that it is a similar image to the NS emblem, but is modernised and more simplified, pretty much a requirement for the digital age we're in.
I think there's still a little too much going on inside the image, but it's not too bad.
Overall, if these are indeed the new logo, I don't mind it. I have ideas that I believe could possibly have been better, but I can live with these.
