That actually looks a lot better.

Had a quick play. Sorry about the size!

Nothing wrong with the logo, it stands out well and is bold and clear.

Obviously the idea is that it stands out on the sleeve and also doesn't interfere too much with the individual clubs designs. Does the job just right I reckon.

Stobarts get involved and games are now delayed till a Monday

The logo's a bit unimaginative, but it's good enough IMO.
I particularly like that the word Rugby is really prominent. If that's deliberate, it's quite clever and will really get up the nose of the that other code that seems at times to think it has exclusive rights to the word.

The Stobart logo is almost always green or white with a red stroke (previously an even clumsier drop-shadow). They will have pretty strict marketing guidelines, as do all firms with such a strong corporate/brand identity. Why should they change them to suit the RFL, or your aesthetic sensibilities.

Not sure what you're getting it with 'cheap' Photoshop copy. Stroke is a pretty routine feature of most design applications and is particularly useful for sharpening the appearance of words on coloured backgrounds, something I reckon it achieves quite well in this case.

I noticed the same thing straight away>presumably this is stobart that have insisted on this as we know that SLE have been doing there level best to be seen as something completely different to the rest of RL.

Some people just are never happy.

"We dont have a sponsor, the RFL are a disgrace, were doomed"

"Ok, we have a sponsor but that logo is horrible. The RFL are a disgrace, were doomed"

"So they`ve changed the logo and its nice now, but the company name begins with an S, and I hate S`s. The RFL are a disgrace, were doomed"

Couldn't agree more. Thank god the majority of rugby league fans come nowhere near forums like this or there'd be queues a mile long at bridges all over the country.

I posted this at another site yesterday and was wondering what you guys think.

In Australia we have this Billionaire Trucking magnate called Lindsay Fox and he has thousands of trucks on the road nation wide every day.

On each truck at the back, he has this logo and it really stands out even when driving a fair way behind.



Instead of painting trucks and stuff like people have said which would cost heaps, all this sponsor would need to do is put a big sticker on the back with something like this and the Super League Logo, millions of people would see it every month, they could even have the website under it and people will still see it easy when stuck behind a truck while driving or at the lights/stop signs and it could be done as cheap as chips.

Free publicity and costs virtually nothing.

"You are passing another Stobart" [Insert ESL Logo]

This shows it better.

I'm not normally one for taking much notice of what it says in The Sun, but according to them 'The haulage giants' lorries will become mobile advertising boards for clubs.'

You mean that same word "Rugby" that has been in exactly the same place on the logo for 10 years?

The same reason why any company changes their logo to suit the logo of the competition they're sponsoring, and vice versa. If they're unwilling to change a little bit of red, then we should be looking to make it fit into our logo as best as possible. A red and white logo inside a blue and gold shield just doesn't go for mine.

I said it looks like a cheap photoshop copy as it basically is the inside of the original rectangular SL logo cut and pasted inside a shield with the Stobart text cut and pasted inside also. Neither compliment each other.

It's not a massive issue, and it's not doom and gloom. It's just a really small issue but little things like this bug me.

Not that I think the issues are related either, but the new Stobart logo was in the top left corner of the SL website the other day, and today it has now gone back to the original sponsorless rectangular logo.

Super League shield complete with Stobart logo appears on the superleague.co.uk website now. Have to say it looks fine to me.
