Good evening, and welcome to this evening's edition of "Name That
Problem!", the exciting game show where people sarcastically point out
faults and shortcomings in as few words as possible! I'm your host, Ken
Tommedy. Let's meet tonight's contestants!" "Hi, my name is Daniel Rhodes. I'm from Raleigh, North Carolina, and I run the Bush League Factor website." "Hi, my name is John Doe, and I'm a fictitious entity whose only purpose here tonight is to set up a meaningless pop culture reference and pad out the word count of this review." "It's nice to meet you, Daniel and John, and good luck to you both. Now, let's get right to tonight's game. The first target for tonight is the name 'Victoria Salmon Kings'." BZZZZ! "John, you buzzed in, so you bid first." "Daniel, I can name that problem in ten words." "John, I can name that problem in nine words." "Daniel, I can name that problem in eight words." "John, I can name that problem in six words." "Daniel, I can name that problem in five words." "John, I can name that— oh, screw this. Tell you what, John: Let me use visual aids and I can name that problem in zero words." "Uh...zero?" "That's what I said." "Um...well, I can't bid any lower than that, so...Name That Problem!"
I was tempted at one point to just post that picture and let that be the review in its entirety. Anything else is just padding. I've made my point. But of course, I should probably say a few words about the logo as well. What can I say about the logo? The salmon and crown aren't drawn particularly well, but they aren't drawn particularly badly. There are only two real problems with them. First, the designer of the logo apparently thought the people of victoria are so stupid that they can't figure out that a logo consisting of a salmon with a crown on it would be for a team called the "Salmon Kings". So they had to actually put the words "Salmon Kings" on the crown. Somehow this strikes me as even worse than having the word written around the icon the way most teams do. After all, we expect to see that. But this time the words are incorporated into the icon. And let me tell you, it looks silly. It would be like if the woman who lives in Buckingham Palace had a crown that actually said "Queen of the United Kingdom" on it. I could be wrong, but I think the people of Victoria are smart enough not to need that. If I lived in that city, I'd feel my intelligence was being insulted. And then there are those red things going around the crown. I'm fairly certain those are supposed to represent gems of some sort (presumably rubies). But in fact they look more like cherry tomatoes. But aside from that, I have to give them credit for their simplicity. The team's name is "Salmon Kings", and there's a fish with a crown on its head. No pucks or sticks. No fancy backgrounds with a fade effect. No snazzy lettering. No, it's back to basics here: Fish. Crown. Even the stupid name on the crown doesn't really mess with the simplicity, since you would hardly even notice it from a distance of more than a couple of feet. That makes this one of the most straightforward logos around. We have a fish; we have a crown; we need nothing else; we are the Salmon Kings. I still can't think of anything but sushi.
Final Score: 25 points.
