Go Red Sox! Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Timberwolves: Embracing the greenA few years ago, the Timberwolves (my team) ditched green from their uniforms and most of their marketing materials. One of my biggest pet-peeves with the NBA, and sports marketing in general, is how dominant the color blue is. I would love to see that change.First things first. I LOVE the Wolves secondary logo. There really isn't a whole lot that needs to be changed. Therefore this is just a small revision and promotion as the Wolves primary logo.Also here is a uniform I recolored a while ago to go with the idea:I've never been a fan of the current Wolves color scheme. Firstly, the shade you used is a different one that the Celtics have, so that wouldn't cause a problem. Secondly, it's a nice vibrant look now – totally different than their current, pretty bland design. In my view it's definitely an upgrade! “Never argue with an idiot!

OliverP Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 ^^ I'm with you on this one man. Its a refreshing update from their current color scheme, also it helps build the teams identity and makes them stand out a bit.

The night sky can be full of many different colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkatron101 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Reigning in the BullIt was just to difficult for me to deviate from the bulls logo. I had too many fond memories of Jordan and Pippen as a kid. With that said, it certainly could use some "freshening up." I adjusted some line widths, removed unnecessary elements, and generally tried to make it a little more "fierce." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-ROY Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I love these logos. I wouldn't listen to any negative criticism so far. People need to realize that you're remaking the logos. All the logos. The Bulls have the best logo in all of sports, and personally I think you made it better. What I don't like about their logo are the unnecessary lines and the logo you did definitely cleaned it up. I also love that you're making logos like the Clippers and Lakers more modern. I wouldn't consider them a downgrade at all.Anyway, would love to see you tackle the Celtics next if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one I did a long time ago. I would like to ditch the RWB scheme and the round ball in favor of a different shape. Then I may tackle the Nuggets.There are a few on the list that I'm waiting for an "Ah ha!" moment. Celtics are one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerFan98 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Very nice clean up of the Bulls. Looking forward to seeing what you do with my Bucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkatron101 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Clippers: A New Era.While I thought my original logo for the Clippers was an upgrade, I felt it lacked personality. It was yet another basketball with a wordmark slapped on. BORING. I originally wanted to create a clipper ship, but it seemed so overwhelming and busy. New colors, new logo, and possibly now uniforms on the horizon.Edit: MY photobucket account is acting up. This image is randomly appearing and disappearing for me.

P.S. I did too enjoy watching Jordan, Pippen and my fellow Croat - Kukoc when I was a kid Clippers: A New Era.While I thought my original logo for the Clippers was an upgrade, I felt it lacked personality.

There's only one complaint, I think this would work better for a soccer team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Well it's very well done and I love the idea and presumed thought process, but this just SCREAMS soccer crest. Especially with the "EST. 1984". I would honestly go a different rout with this one. I really, really like your Bulls update though. Nice subtle changes to bring it into the modern era.

MDGP Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I like the update to the Bulls logo, it keeps everything that's good about the current one while strengthening the lines. The only thing I would suggest is adding something to the snout area. I feel like it's a bit too plain as is, and could use something horizontal (Like how the current logo has has the arc).I agree with the statement that this Clippers logo is a fantastic crest. I'm not sure if it would fit in with other NBA logos though, it looks more like it belongs in soccer I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

Funkatron101 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 It was intentional. I'm frankly tired of the standard shapes of both sports. Time to shake it up a bit.Also, when thinking about the Clippers, clipper ships and specifically their Sand Diego logo, I got to thinking about yacht clubs and upper-class society. So the crest shape seemed like a no brainer to me. Especially since I wanted to get away from another round logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlin Wall Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 This crest shaped logo is beautiful! Would be the best logo in the league from the start for me. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_KC Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I think the Clippers logo is awesome!! They really need a new one. It doesn't scream soccer to me at all. I agree that it looks more like a yacht club crest. And the anchor gives it a little US Navy look. Great job. My only suggestion is to get rid of the "Est. 1984". I think it would look cleaner without it. Can't wait to see the uniform! Nice job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also want to try and match up the San Diego red-orange a little more. I thought I was close, but it looks a little too red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWonka Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 No, the Clippers logo doesn't have a basketball in it. LOL-Anyways, beautiful. Classy, and while it may look like a soccer crest it does add originality to the logo and it would be a nice change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugevolsfan Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I like the Clippers Logo but does give the soccer vibe. To me the real issue with it is the perspective of the Anchor it seem very upright will everything else in the logo has a perspective.
