Hello my fellow VHLers – it is time we return to the most important and accurate ranking of the VHLM logos. I have been taking my sweet ass time with getting the full ranking out and it is totally my fault, but I figured I would make it suspenseful given how highly anticipated this was. This ranking will be a little less of a roast on logos, but I will do my best. IN CASE you somehow MISSED my first ranking, you can definitely find it right here. I shall reiterate that I had no idea who created these logos and this is just my own opinion. So, if you happen to stumble along me chirping a logo you designed – be reminded that its all good and fun and you’re already way better at making logos than I am. #5: Saskatoon Wild The only real complaint I have about this logo is – while I understand that ferocious looking animals like this one are in the wild, I just don’t think this represents a logo for a team called the Wild. This instantly screams “Tiger Cats” to me for whatever dumb reason – but either way it does not stop it from being an above average logo. This is your typical “exotic cat being angry” sports logo that you see in every major league. What makes this nice is the ECHL calibre color scheme of tan and light blue trim. This would be the logo of that highschool basketball team that just TERRORIZES a division that they are way too good for – only to get stomped themselves when they play in the AAAAs. What I am saying here is that this logo is neither terrible nor amazing. A very standard sports logo with great colors and angry enough to intimidate others. That’s why this sits at fifth in the ranking, it is ever so slightly above average relative to the rest of the logos in this league. #4: Miami Marauders Ok now HERE is where we get into the “goated” logos of the VHLM. I don’t really have anything to complain about them so its going to get a little boring for the reader. This is an absolutely amazing logo and it reminds me of the old Milwaukee Admirals from the AHL. The shading et al in this makes it a fantastic design and not to mention it got a bit of meanness to it. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t made a Miami graphic but will keep that in mind for the next time I want to make one. One thing about logos that I really enjoy is symmetry which is exactly what this one has (the eye patch being very minimal). A great mix of colors as well to be a typical red/white/black hockey team. If I were to give it some criticism is that it doesn’t have any hockey related creativity added to it. It would have been cool to have like two hockey sticks crossing as a logon on the pirate hat – but I’m also not that creative so it would probably look terrible in the end. #3: Mississauga Hounds What the dog doin? The Hounds have the best color scheme in the VHLM. You can’t get much cleaner than a blue, black and silver mix. But I’m not here to rank the colors, I’m here to rank the logo, and this is in the A tier of logos across all leagues. Look how fuckin mean this dog looks. This dog is so determined to fuck shit up that Michael Vick just bet fifty dollars on it. I know we are entering an era where a lot of the newly introduced logos are E-sports looking, and I think this one kind of has some shades of it, but still a great hockey logo nonetheless. I like the diagonal look this dog is giving as opposed to the traditional straight forward or profile – pretty unique. One thing I do hate (and I mentioned it with the Houston logo in the previous ranking), is that they have the word HOUNDS on the bottom. Like yes thanks we know what you’re called but this is just supposed to be a LOGO. The big mean looking dog on top of it should be enough to let the world know that they are indeed the Hounds. #2: Mexico City Kings I will say that I had a very hard decision between this and number one. The decision was so hard I was originally typing this to be #1 but changed my mind midway through the ranking. This logo is so badass that I don’t have one single knock on it. Being the newest logo of the VHLM, a fantastic job was done with the unique color scheme, the detail, and the Mexico City Calaca theme. I mentioned early about how big of a fan I was of symmetric logos and this one is pretty damn close to what I was talking about. There’s the shading on one side to show a bit of darkness to it and that jewel on the crown to give it that bit of extra detail needed. Then of course there’s this furry sash going around the back of the neck to make it look like this king is much more important than other kings. To be honest, if I were to step on the ice for warmups and saw the other team wearing this logo, I’d probably shit my pants before I’d get to the stretches. There really isn’t much else to say other than how much I love this logo and that I’m still considering changing my mind again before I write the review for #1. #1: Ottawa Lynx Boy, I am fucking glad that I’m on the last logo here. I absolutely hate writing stuff but I’m pretty damn burnt on graphic making that a nice logo ranking helps. The Lynx and the Kings are both S tier logos across all leagues, and as mentioned in #2, I had a hard time deciding which one to make number one. To show my lack of bias of being a former King, and to a very unique team name – I gave the number one to the Lynx. I’m surprised Carole Baskin hasn’t joined the VHLM to be amongst one of the most exotic cat logos there is. It is the perfect mix of a 2D drawing and a realistic looking Lynx. This logo is so good, that even with my bonus points to symmetric logos, this still won amongst them all. The color scheme, shape, and detail are perfect. Alright folks, whenever I get the willpower to do another media spot, I’ll do the VHLE logo ranking. I hope I didn’t bore whoever stuck around to read this all. Cheers! 1130 Words Claiming Week 1/2

Welcome to Riga @Patrik Tallinderi hope u see this

@TheNeonShaman

Review This is pretty creative - I like how you have them stacked diagonally. It's also laid out pretty nice with the text at the top left. The logos are way too big on the jersey though but I assume you did that to cover up the existing. If you have Photoshop I would suggest trying to hide the existing logos with a soft brush or the clone stamp tool. I like the simple stripe background and it looks like you're getting familit with stroking objects like the render. Keep it up! 8/10

This is an extremely clean sig. Everything is laid out perfectly and and colors match so well. I really like the font and the way you have the big text on top of the sig - with a small slight texture added to it to make it stand away from the white background. There's also JUST enough lighting added to the render to make it the focal point. This actually just an unreal graphic plain and simple. Very crisp background as well. The only knock I would say is the helsinki titants font stands out a little too much, but that's just being picky. This is one of my favorite sigs on here. 9.8/10

1. Do you think we need to draft another defenseman now that Connor Johnson is retired? We have some good D prospects in the system so I wont stress if we don't. However something tells me we will come out of the draft with one anyways. 2. 3 of our S81 draftees already retired for one reason or another. Bad luck? Yes unfortunate luck, one was a 4th rounder which hardly pan out and its hard to predict multis. 3. Why is winter the worst season? Its cold, wet and gets dark at 4PM. 4. The ex Riga player Justin Lose is about to win a whole lotta of awards. Happy for him? Very happy, he deserves every bit of it. Was a fantastic player in Riga (and its nice to see someone have a bit of success hey?) 5. What reaction did you have on banning of Cabe McJake? Not surprising at all. He was always semi trolling then got really weird in the locker room. disappointed to see him go and hope if he ever wants to come back after a few months they will reconsider. 6. Why is summer the best season? It's warm, sunny and it doesn't get dark until 9. More light = more happiness.

1. How the new year eve went for you? I spent it with my gf and family and we were all in bed by 10:30PM. However, I did manage to stay awake until 12 and wake her up to let her know it was new years. 2. rate your hangover post NYE There was no hangover - so a solid 0/10 with 10 being basically dead. 3. do you have particular draftees you wanna see in Riga? Yes but as the assistant GM I will never make that public I have been scouting and there are a few I have my eye on. 4. are you already bored without games? Very - however I do have some more scouting to do. Hopefully this offseason goes quicker than the last. 5. do you have a faith in Riga making the playoffs next season? Yes - I have faith every year. Hopefully with a few FA signings and the young guns coming up we can be a solid team. 6. do you have a multi? Its time for me to admit that I was actually Zimmers all along.

If you're starting out you could easily make this for 6 TPE. But anyways, a very simple sig and pretty clean. The text is actually pretty elite. It's honestly the start of a perfect sig, great placement and a simple background. 8/10

This could easily be a 6 TPE sig and probably the best you're going to get with a VHL.com. Love the lighting and the shattering effect. Lots of depth to this and honestly something I would make my phone background if it was related to me haha. 10/10

Have you ever contributed to a relief fund or aided in assisting victims of a natural disaster? My class raised money for the Katrina disaster back in 2006 I'm pretty sure. What's your favourite Pokémon? Charizard What's the worst commentator you've ever seen in your life? Denis Potvin What's the best non-chain restaurant you've ever been to? What's your favorite play-by-play call in history? Favorite Harry Potter movie?

Well there's lots of creativity in this one haha. The hockey stick lightsabers really make this, but I do believe they will be ineffective against an actual lightsaber unless its an old Sherwood stick. It's cool how you added the glow by just laying the stick on top of the white part of the saber, so now the stick glows. Fun and hopefully intentional creativity. Of course, you have the logo add-ons to give the VHL theme and a player face render to top it all off. Great Job! 9.5/10

This is unreal and could easily pass for a 6 TPE graphic. Love the fading effects and the multi-render action shots. It's pretty much exactly how you see some of the team accounts do their graphics (The Flyers are very good at it). There's honestly nothing to really complain about this one, I guess knock the lack of jersey editing but that can be forgiven since you're posting this for 2 TPE. Very awesome graphic. 10/10

RIGA REIGN PRESS CONFERENCE December 27th, 2021 1. We are almost done this season, how has your player been doing compared to expectations? 2. Are you watching the World Juniors this year? Who are your players your most excited to see? 3. How has your Christmas/Holiday been so far? 4. What has been your favorite sporting moment ever (in real life)? 5. Has Omicron effected your area a lot in terms of lockdowns and/or healthcare capacity? 6. Should the league be revisiting the concept of depreciation and forced retirement ? Do you think that player's careers should be somewhat longer ? (Eynhallow's question)

can't find the original but it was the Lake Erie Monsters calder cup win lol
