New NHL Draft Logo Emerges

New logo design officially appears on NHL.com

It was back in December that we thought we got our first look at the logo for the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. But that was evidently not an official version. This week, a new mark prominently featuring the outline of the state of New Jersey started appearing on NHL.com.

Personally, I like it better than what we saw a few months ago. The strange drawing of the Newark skyline was out of place. But this map-centric design makes me wonder if it'll set a new trend for future draft logos. Philadelphia hosts in 2014, so will that logo feature an outline of Pennsylvania?

Do you have an opinion on NHL Draft logos? Ever even thought about them before today?
