Washington Warbirds: A New Era for the Wizards Franchise

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.

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.

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.

Wow.  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?

I did and I didn't think it interacted well with the horizontal areas of the star.

Yes they can.

 

Besides, all this American Iron War Eagle stuff doesn't really fit the NBA.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

I disagree, but respect your opinion.

I like this, patriotically, I like how it looks a lot like a roundel found on military aircraft.  The last version is great.

 

I agree with that, and I appreciate the craftsmanship, but patriotism/jingoism and militarism don't lend themselves to the NBA.

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!
