The logo for the Mighty Ducks existed
long before the animated series was even in pre-producion. But the show
sheds some very interesting light into the theological meaning of the logo,
and it's origin in the animated universe. Read on for some thoughts.
On Puckworld, hockey is life. The
stick, puck, and skate are all common trademarks of the sport, as they are
on Earth. We must assume that since hockey is an ancient sport on Puckworld,
those symbols must have been a part of their life for many generations.
Symbols used in the composition of the Ducks logo can be seen in various
parts of life on Puckworld itself.
The green, downward pointing triangle
with the rounded top, overlapped by two yellow crossed hocked sticks, is one
of those common symbols. It can be seen as a tattoo on Canard's arm and
Grin's shoulder. It is also on Mallory's Puckworld Special Forces ID card.
It can be assumed that this tattoo was a symbol of the Puckworld military,
and more importantly, the Resistance force.
Next comes the mask. Drake DuCaine,
being the legendary hero that he was, had his Mask incorporated into
Puckworld lore. This might explain why Nosedive has a duck-headed goalie
mask with a squinted eye on one shoulder. In a non-animated take, this is
the secondary logo of the real Mighty Ducks team, and can be seen on the
shoulder patches of their uniforms.
A combination of these symbols leads up
to constructing the Mighty Ducks logo as we know it. First comes the green
triangle and the crossed sticks. Then, a black circle, which to me seems to
represent a puck. Finally comes a version of the Mask, contorted a bit to
look like it would fit more of a human face.
