The World Cup logo was dismissed as a relic.
The organizers of the 2024 Ice Hockey World Cup released the official logo for the games on Tuesday.
The games are played in the Czech Republic, and the host cities are Prague and Ostrava.
The tournament’s logo received harsh criticism from puck fans on social media. The logo is extremely simplified, and in the center of it is a disc with a wide smile.
– That looks like a discount market logo. You could certainly do better, one commenter on Facebook wondered.
Slovakian Športový Čas website according to the logo was barked as an ancient relic.
– That design would be suitable for the 1990 World Cup, one fan pointed out.
– Call the union, someone has connected, another was horrified.
In the Czech Ice Hockey Federation, the logo was given deep reasons.
– We wanted to create a design that conveys as much feeling and passion as possible. They are an inseparable part of the hockey celebration in the minds and hearts of the fans. The puck, the players, the fans and the whole Czech Republic. All of this forms the heart of hockey during the games, marketing director Martin Klco described in the union’s bulletin.
