elliott Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 ** Scroll down for updates **Messing around with some roundels because NBA <3's roundels.Thunder need a new logo. Not enough teams embrace orange. And it would be nice to get a little bit of "wild-west" flair. WIP, what do you think so far? https://dribbble.com/elliott_k_strauss Dribbble ...

RoughRiders99 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 This is a fantastic logo for a soccer team. I don't mean to take a shot at you like that. I really think it's a beautifully done logo, but it just feels a little too soccer-y to me, that's all. A tiny nit-pick, you should turn Thunder upside down so it's readable in the upper-left logo. In the upper-right logo, try to put Oklahoma City on the top and Thunder on the bottom. The OK logo works for me. Overall, great start and great execution. Just screams soccer to me, that's all.

However, I think these are best suited as secondary logos. It's more soccer-ish or more for an MLB team as primary logos. I agree that the Thunder script needs to be the other way.

elliott Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks for the comments! Thunder script should be flipped for sure, needs some overall rendering improvements to but in the meantime here's an idea for jerseys! unbalanced design that still tries to keep it simple Dribbble ...

jrcollis714 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 The Thunder in the primary is bothering me because it's upside down. Otherwise, great logos, but I think they get a little too close to a Phoenix Suns feel. The uniforms, however, are not very good. I think on them you have too many lines all over the place that make them seem clunky and not professional. As much as they work with the logos, they are poor.

jaker52 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Interesting, I love the logos and I like seeing different Ideas around. The uniforms are a tad overdone though. MUNCHEN LOWEN (WAFA) GULF SHORES OSPREYS (IBL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAO Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Logos are smooth, type would need to be bolder. The type should also fit in perfect center in the roundel (right now it's closer to the inside).Uniforms are over the top, and that template isn't lending itself to the cause.Color scheme is nice, but would possibly conflict with the Phoenix Suns, since they essentially (foolishly) dropped purple.Monogram OKC is money.I'd like to see the basketball logo in the center, without the roundel (which would serve as the 'partial primary').I'd like to see the twister/tornado version work, but I think it's not as clean or nice as the other.

It's tough to work with the orange / scheme with the Suns around. My hope that the addition of the cream color, the unique elements like the vertical jersey stripe and circular arched wordmark, would manage to set them apart. Unfortunately the overall color balance creates a visual identity that's too close to the suns.My original ideas included a very dark brown being used, with a medium brown introduced as well with the orange being a bright accent color to the southwest/cowboy vibe created by the brown. any thoughts on that? could be unique but brown can also be ugly in sports if used improperly.Also, maybe the roundel's font should have "western" serifs, similar to the number font on the jerseys?The "tornado" logo needs some smoothing around the edges when it comes to the rendering of the twister cloud. Hopefully I can patch that up with another pass at this.... thankfully it's an idea still in the early stages, so all of these comments have been helpful! thanks guys Dribbble ...

elliott Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Here's an update.I borrowed the concept of a shield shaped primary from their current identity, because in my mind that's the only redeemable thing. Tried to keep the new primary logo simple overall, tho. Rendered a new OKC font for the primary, and tweaked the monogram a bit. Also smoothed out some lines in the secondary roundel and made the fonts more legible. thoughts?Thanks for viewing guys! Dribbble ...

zksnowboarder Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I really like the round logo. The shield one is still cool, but the circle one is better in my eyes. And I love the pretzel (lack of a better word) logo. Good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplashBoogie Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 It's unconventional but I really like this. I'd be interested to see a more vibrant orange used to match the cream/gold but otherwise love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
