Welcome to On the Prowl, a collection of links compiled by LBC and published each Wednesday and Sunday to stories pertaining to the Florida Panthers, their affiliates, and the National Hockey League. Have at it after the jump...
LBC Notes
- First, we'd like to send our very sincere thanks to all who took the time to participate in submitting new logo designs over the past two weeks; we were humbled by the sheer volume - a testament to the size and enthusiasm of our growing Florida Panthers online community - and hope to offer similar opportunities in the future. We're thrilled to announce the "winning" design was authored by Francisco Oporta (known around these parts as National Mario); his logo - a small, rather pixelated teaser above - will be going "live" on Monday. Hope you enjoy our new masthead as we move into LBC v. 2.0.
