Montreal is synonymous with football. The first part in North American soil took place on the cricket pitches of downtown October 10, 1868. Four years later, the Football Club of Montreal and was created in 1946, the Alouettes were founded. The composition of the team reached the brilliant idea of the businessman Leo Dandurand Montreal, who convinced Lew Heyman becoming the first head coach of the team.
The Montreal Alouettes won a Cup Gray in 1949 and played in three finals from 1954 to 1956. The joys of the team are then evaporated and the team failed to post a winning record before 1970, the first of three years where Sam Etcheverry has been at the helm of the team. In 2002, the Alouettes finished the regular season with a record of 13-5 and then crushed the Toronto Argonauts and Edmonton Eskimos in the playoffs to win the fifth Gray Cup franchise. The ingredients for success were assembled. The Alouettes are again the best team in the CFL in the field and in the community.
The Alouettes sports logo design is a complex mascot design of an “alouette”- a skylark, a small type of bird rushing forward with a football in one wing enclosed by a circle and the team name Montreal Alouettes surrounding the design. I really like this design. The mascot character has been drawn out nicely and the colors are quite cool too.
When creating sport logos, especially if they mascot design samples, this kind of bold style with a bold character, bold border and bold font treatment is usually the best route.
