NHL unveils logo for 2019 Draft in Vancouver

It’s another solid entry in the design system first introduced for the 2010 draft in Los Angeles.

Next summer, the Vancouver Canucks will host the 2019 NHL Draft. Yesterday, the league unveiled the logo that will mark the occasion. It’s a pretty sharp homage to the city of Vancouver — the skyline silhouetted against the towering mountains. Beautiful city.

There’s not much more to say about it, but every year I like to use the unveiling of the new draft logo to take a look back at the designs of past years. Here we have 15 years worth of them! View fullsize draft05.png

The new one stays mostly in line with the draft logo system introduced in 2010 — though we do see fewer sharp points and more rounded corners in the 2019 version.
