DTConcepts Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I really like the new logo and old color scheme. The skyline logo is actually sharp imo, and the lighter blue could work if it's used as a highlight color like the green in the Canuck's scheme. The draft hat looks sharp as f*** too, with the pins and patches. I don't even like basketball and I may end up getting one. However, the whole Palmer Lake thing is stupid. I've lived in Colorado my whole life and I've never heard of the place. They could've squeezed the 'C' from the Colorado flag into that spot if they were that desperate for something to fill the gap. Or maybe a small mountain silhouette. Either way, they could do better. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though your “I can’t explain why I know; I just do” evidence is very thorough and convincing , I’m still skeptical of your viewpoint because, while the circle of a roundel may a common place for filler ornaments, the side of an illustrated hill/mountain is not a place one would put filler ornaments.

Ray Lankford Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 8 hours ago, andrewharrington said: It’s close enough to be considered a fringe part of the greater Denver area (kind of like Akron/Canton is to Cleveland), plus it’s a city of 100,000+ and probably the most well-known city in the immediate region not named Denver. Boulder was also a supply town for miners in the mid-1800s, so the connection to the Nuggets name further reinforces it as a good play in this situation. Makes a heck of a lot more sense than Palmer Lake. The Nuggets are also the only team in Colorado so it's not outrageous for them to include details from the entire state.

Fwiw, the hexagon logo is just a patch for all the draft hats. It won't be a logo for the Nuggets (or any other team). Only the logo from the front of the hat and the skyline logo will be part of the official set of logos.

tyst13 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 To be fair to the skyline alt logo, the mountains are a part of the Denver skyline. It would feel weird without them, and apart from the cash register building (on the far left, I think, but this isn't the right angle for it) the Denver skyline isn't that recognizable, imo. The logo is definitely overcrowded, and the extra mountain in front with a star is unnecessary. It's just that if you're going to do the Denver skyline, you're also going to include the mountains behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, you need those in order for people not to mistake it for a different skyline. It’s the mountain/hill in front of the skyline that people are objecting to. Not only is it cluttered and unnecessary, but regardless what mountainside star it is trying to represent, its geographically incorrect. And neither is close enough to Denver for it to warrant inclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the Nuggs are trying to replicate the 80s rainbow skyline logo with the alt (featured on the back of the draft hat). Just not fan of royal blue being thrown in outta nowhere. I'm sure there's a way they could've designed it with using just navy/red/yellow/white. Four colors, that should've been enough. That's a "fail" in my book.
