Saint-Eustache:



Deux-Montagnes:

Few other N. Ontario ones to add to Timmins, Thunder Bay and the Soo earlier in the thread.

Not sure what's going on there for North Bay.

Kenora's is alright. LOTW is a world class fishing destination so boat makes sense to represent the recreational nature of that massive lake.

Elliot Lake, like Miramichi NB, recruits retirees and this logo looks just about perfect for a retirement home.

That collection of Montreal North Shore you posted is probably the best overall set of logos I've seen. None really stick out as a bad design to me. And overall not as cliched as most places.

^ I don't get what's going on in Mirabel's logo, but I think it looks good.

Bois-des-Filion's reminds me of the Expos.

It looks vintage, which is kinda cool today, but I bet it just has not changed since the 1980's. Bois-des-Fillion is very cheesy and generic IMO.

[esquire]

Another interesting thing with the Mirabel logo is that it has a dot over a capital I in the word "Ville", which is something I only recall seeing in Quebec.

I've think we have presented every city in the country save London which I think has one of the best. I have NOOOOOOOO computer skills and so don't know how to put it up. It's the classic one with the tree over London representing it's nickname of the Forest City.

I like La Ronde's log better the Canada's Wonderland's current design. It seems to change every few years.

It is definitely nice. Have visited UWO multiple times to see sister and cousins. And at work I have to pay some London property tax bills. And a few months ago I got a parking ticket in the mail from London even though I hadn't been since 2012. Turns out it was a typo from the ticketing officer.

I wanted to do a Middlesex County collection since I know a few people here are from London. But they have some dumb directional names for some towns like so many others due to amalgamation so I lost my interest. But maybe I will at some point.

Alas...




Very pretty. London is on the Thames, but is not defined by the river. It's a proper city. Nothing wrong with adding water into a logo, particularly for a smaller place that relies on it. I just don't like when it dominates the logo or they do it in the same cliched way as others. And especially if they over represent the beauty or magnitude of the water.

Haven't been to Wonderland since grad night back in '98. And even though I've passed it a couple times since, I didn't really pay any mind to the logo. But damn that's kinda boring. It's not bad IMO. Just doesn't represent it as well as I'd think.

Given what the park is and just the name alone, you'd think they'd add some splash to the logo.

For instance, would a youngster walking around at the park want their parents to buy them a t-shirt or hat with that logo on it? Most definitely for Disney Land they would. And La Ronde would make for a fun t-shirt.

Their logo way back when I was a regular wouldn't cut it now, but it was more interesting to look at!

I had a brown T-Shirt with that logo on it my dad had to buy after I puked on the one I was wearing on the Zoomba Flume. I think that ride is gone now.

Baseball Canada needs to take a long look in the mirror and ask why they're still using this piece of crap logo.




Hockey:

Guelph and Guleph/Eramosa (didn't know there are two Guelphs) are pretty damn boring, with the latter being extra cheesy.

Minto is terrible and honestly, a little creepy. Plus what a surprise... blue and green.

WN is clever and overall it's a decent logo.

Mapleton I think is the best here.

[megadude]

Odd image for the county to choose. Unless there's some meaning I'm not aware of. Maybe it's the Georgian Bluffs geological feature.

I'm not enamoured with any of these. If I had to choose one to keep, it would be Hanover.

Southgate and West Grey should be forced by the county, provincial and federal governments to change these abysmal logos. That West Grey is like the Carstairs one earlier. There are no words for Southgate's.

[Acajack]

That Winterhawks (Blackhawks) logo is so beautiful (one of the best in sports), though I expect at one point it will be relegated to the history books.

[SkahHigh]

That Southgate logo... yuck

Wait, this is their logo? Somehow they managed to create a new logo that looks older than the old logo?
