2000 — 2015
As for the old emblem, it also comprised the lettering “Mestis” (this time in white) and a puck. And yet, the hockey puck was larger here, so it didn’t look out of place.
2015 — Today
The 2015 Mestis logo was adopted in 2015. Its main element is the large lettering “MESTIS” in bold italicized letters. The glyphs themselves are dark blue, while their outline is black. There’s a stylized black puck between the letters “S” and “T.” The puck looks a bit too small in comparison with the wordmark and because of this, you may easily overlook it.
Font and Color
The heavy geometric uppercase lettering from the primary badge of Mestis Finland is set in a square serif font with slanted characters, which makes the brutal and powerful combination a bit more energetic and adds a sense of motion to it. This kind of font is often used by universities and colleges, as it evokes a sense of progressiveness and determination.
As for the color palette of the Mestis Finland visual identity, it is based on a powerful and intense combination of calm blue and black, with some thin white elements, creating a contrast between the elements of the lettering. This color scheme looks strong and stable, representing power, professionalism, and loyalty.
