Fan Opinion: What do you think about the new look Gold Coast?

[Steve Dangerous]

They description of the logo on NRL.com is a great one:

Burns said, ?Essentially a Titan is an ?imaginary being? so we have the opportunity of making it whatever we want it to be. We will explore the characterisation of the Titan through the size and strength of a Mythological Gladiator ? super hero type. This is just the first step in what will be a long journey for the branding of the ?Titans?.

The logo is inspired by the spirit of the modern day TITAN. Simple clean
lines - modern but striking ? are reflected in the TITAN logo. Use of an international trend of colour blocking, graded effects and simplistic modern silhouettes gives it a cutting edge feel.

The colours encompass the heritage of the Gold Coast with use of sea (blue) sun (yellow) and sand (fawn) as well as bronze for the armour, grey for the steel swords and black represents a rock solid foundation and strength.


The combination of the two swords positioned behind the name and the helmet and armour add a disposition of strength to the logo.

Burns said, ?We wanted to ensure the colours represented the Gold Coast and that the logo, when lined up against the other 15 clubs in the NRL, is worthy of inclusion amongst what are some of the best and most successful brands in Australian sport.?

Well being a Melbourne Storm supporter I am all for nationalisation of the NRL. This is going to be possibly THE best move that the NRL has made in a while. The logo is fantastic, the jersey looks like it will be a winner on and off the field and more importantly the Titans look like fielding a 1st class outfit to compete from the beginning...

I have happily adopted the Titans as my 2nd team already and can't wait for the 2007 season to kick-off...

How'd you get involved with the Titans DeeGan?

Long story...

In the end it came down to a passionate, persistant Gold Coast rugby league fan who just had to contribute to his team and make it a [art of his life long journey that was stalled for 7 seasons due to the Super League war. I wanted to be part of the team and in my own small way contribute to the effort.

I contacted Stephen Burns, met with him and a few of his colleagues and the rest is history

Thought I would bring a topic from the 'vault' and see what some of the new(ish) members, and those members who weren't here on day 1/2, thought of the Titans name. Personally, I was hoping for the Pirates, but the Titans has grown on me.

[The Original Idiot]

Yeah I was hoping for pirates too, but any one of them would have been awesome IMO. Thanks Steelers.

When I initially heard that the name would be Titans I thought it was stupid. I had thought it was a case of some numbskull executives picking the name of a US franchise and applying it here (see Mariners, etc).

Now I'm more aware of the consulting period behind the choice of name. It might not be my favourite, but the fans chose it and that is the most important thing.

I can see there being some confusion about what a titan really is... eg - mythical giant or a gladiator type character.

The Titans moniker is really growing into a strong brand. I think it will be a strong indentifyer in the years to come!
