IceCap Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I'm a fan of the logos, but I don't care for the plum. Seems sickly. I prefer standard purple.

AAO Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 What happened? We were doing so well with Pelicans and then Hornets. The render of the claw into the ball looks sloppy to me. Just plain block type? I'm not against it, just seems arbitrary. Are the claws just merging with the lines of the ball? The ball-footprint logo was far ahead of its time. Sad it doesnt seem itll be around.Anyway, FWIW, this was something I was working on, very prelim stages - a few weeks old. Was planning to go back and tweak, perhaps talk to the folks I know at the NBA and push this to the organization, but at this point it seems as if they chose what it is. I can't believe the Raptors fell for that if that is the new logo.Secondary 1 would be the perfect primary logo for them... well done.Thanks for all your feedback. I want to make note that these logos maybe went through one round of edits and still need a lot of work. But just to kind of get the concept down. The side view Raptor is very jurassic-park reminiscent and dont think that would fly. They all need to be fleshed out significantly more and if I get to do that I will definitely re-post.I'm really not convinced with what they've unveiled so far. and the we the north this is our shield stuff just seems forced/embellished.

LEWJ Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Yea i love that set of logos, aside from the primary. Secondary 1 is a good primary.I would say push the left side of the raptor behind the roundel (in the primary), as if he's coming through the roundel. Then you could lengthen the red mark so that it's the same length as the other. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshey Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I really like the idea of secondary 1. Don't like the hands though but its still better than what they're coming out with. GO NETS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 If the plum isn't working, I would replace it with black. Using the old Raptors Purple would be too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorback447 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 That concept is drastically better than what they rolled out. Love the idea of plum instead of black. Great choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDesign Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Fun tidbit re: raptor meaning bird of prey:If you play NBA 2k15 one of the commentary lines when the Raptors are playing specifically mentions that the Raptors are moving away from the dinosaur and towards the bird of prey connotation. I believe they even talk about the Jurassic Park parallel with the original expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 There's no indication they're abandoning the dinosaur. The "well the claw marks on the new logo could have been made by talons" argument seems really weak to me. It seems obvious, to me anyway, that they reflect the same dinosaur-style claw shape we see on the current alternate logo. I bet you the dinosaur mascot doesn't even even change.

The_Admiral Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I love the color scheme, but goatse alert on that secondary. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadojoker Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 This is my favorite of the logos. The claws on the side make it seem like its in a cage about to come out. Very basic but fierce & savage too. (But it also looks like its taking a picture like the ones you stick your head out of and the back/foreground is different. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Why not try the tertiary raptor inside the primary? The little profile with his little arms doesn't work for me.

Gothamite Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I actually think they made the right choice with most of those. Although I like the red dino bursting out of the maple leaf.
