Is there any explanation to the deer, buck or whatever it's called obsession of Torpedo? Does it have anything to do with the club or the region? To my knowledge, torpedo is far from being a cute animal while Nizhniy Novgorod is a modern, industrialized city. Was it known for its bucks or what? I mean, even if it was... The team is called TORPEDO. If you're gonna go with bucks, then you need to go with self-propelled, explosive bucks.
The deer is nicely rendered - I think that would make a good alternate jersey and nice logo for merchandise but I still like their round logo, I think it's a nice classic looking logo.
Yeah, Torpedo jerseys were ugliest in the league, probably. The new ones look really nice, reminds Amur's jerseys and tiger on them a lot.

In this case there is a connection and a history behind it and there is nothing wrong with the buck. You also totally misinterpreted torpedo. It has nothing to do with a device used by the navys of this world. Torpedo is a sports car shape from the early days of car racing. Thus soviet teams sponsored by motor works carried the name Torpedo. The particular motor works of then Gorky now Nizhniy Novgorod had this
on their cars. So the buck and Torpedo are indeed well interconnected and rooted in the history of the city and the team.
Making it a for-kids logo is what bothers me.
This is what I see on the VHL website for the second Chinese VHL team, Tsen Tou (Jilin):
Hopefully that is just a placeholder. I remember when KRS came about at first they had a very clip-arty bad logo (like it came from a Double Dragon video game for NES circa 1988) but then the real logo was actually pretty good and nicely rendered.

Interesting pass-time channel. All their own opinions and they are very honest they don't really know European/Russian hockey so well. Still its fun to see them comparing the logos.
