ECHL Unveils 20th Anniversary Logo
Published on June 19, 2007 under ECHL (ECHL) News Release
PRINCETON, N.J. - The ECHL unveiled the official logo for its 20th
Anniversary Season in 2006-07, making it the third-longest tenured
professional hockey league in North America behind only the National Hockey
League and the American Hockey League.
The logo has XX, which is the Roman numeral for 20, in navy blue trimmed in
red, white and silver above the traditional ECHL logo flanked on the left
side by 1988 and on the right side by 2008 with "Building Tradition"
centered below the logo.
The 20th Anniversary logo will be incorporated into league and team
materials as the ECHL proudly celebrates 20 years of hockey, tradition and
affordable entertainment.
The Premier 'AA' Hockey League began in 1988-89 with five teams in three
states and has grown to be a coast-to-coast league that will have 25 teams
in 17 states and British Columbia in 2007-08. The 25 teams includes the
Mississippi (Biloxi) Sea Wolves, who return after missing two seasons in
the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and the expansion Elmira (N.Y.)
Jackals.
Joe Bosack, president and founder of The Joe Bosack Graphic Design Company,
designed the logo. Bosack also designed the ECHL logo, the Kelly Cup
Playoffs logo, the 15th Anniversary logo and logos for the ECHL All-Star
Game.
The Joe Bosack Design Company is a full-service design studio that
