hettinger_rl Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I think the Washington Wizards need a name/brand change. They can't go back to Bullets, so I think that Warbirds would be a good moniker. I used some elements of their current look in this logo and I think their current jersey style would work just fine with it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengin. Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I dig the eagle and the W. I really like the direction of this logo, but I think there's too many patriotic elements going on here. You got two stars here. I'm sure the W will look barren if you took out the white star, but right now, there's a lot to take in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I realize it would make it less specific to Washington DC basketball, but I think the basketball lines/star from the current Wizards logo needs to go. It's really cluttering thing up in the middle there. If you took that out and made the bottom angles of the W line up with the bottom points of the star, I think this would be cleaner and more cohesive. Addition by subtraction, I guess.

tigers Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Spread the bottom of the w out a bit to match the ball line. the wings should extend to the red part. very capitalsesque Logano wins BOWL before Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the way you take in feedback and output something that not only incorporates it, but takes it to the next level. Love the new tailfeathers. The only part that keeps tripping me up is the rounded areas at the top of the W where the head connects. I keep seeing the negative space first and it feels like two dots. Have you experimented with making those edges angular rather than rounded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did and I didn't think it interacted well with the horizontal areas of the star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

officeglenn Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Loving A and the way the basketball lines in the tail flow up into the wings. I would make those lines the same weight so it flows together even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n312rb Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I like this, patriotically, I like how it looks a lot like a roundel found on military aircraft. The last version is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that, and I appreciate the craftsmanship, but patriotism/jingoism and militarism don't lend themselves to the NBA. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinJohnsonThaTruth Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Make the blue brighter. Similar to the old Washington Bullets blue. Navy is too bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtgco Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I can't see the roundel image... The latest version is really well done, no complaints. Is the pink stripe intentional on the blue BG version? Also, I kinda agree with @the admiral; I doubt an NBA team would choose to go with a military theme, but I feel like this would work well for Washington in the NFL! Still, nice work! Would love to see uniforms and/or a court! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
