mattharveysc 37 Posted July 21, 2016 MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES NEW LOGO CONCEPT Growing up i've always been a fan of the Timberwolves and what they've done with their branding. I've always liked their logos, colors, court designs, elements of their jerseys, etc. I think they have done a pretty nice job overall over the years. With the Timberwolves rebranding next season, I wanted to try my own version of their logos. I've always been a fan of their original logo, but felt that it needed some tweaks to really make it pop. I have two different mockups that i've done; classic revamp of the their original logo vs. tweak of current secondary logo. I wanted to try and focus on the blue, green, and white colors with the use of black as an alternate color. What do you think of these concepts? Any critiques, suggestions, improvements are encouraged. Thanks guys! Enjoy! Matt 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LAWeaver 958 Posted July 21, 2016 I like version A, and with the recent trend of teams paying tribute to the past (Utah, Sacramento, Phoenix, Charlotte, etc.), it would fit better with the other NBA identities in the league. My problem with Version B is that there's not enough contrast. It looks kinda dark and gloomy and I believe it's the black that is causing it. The team uses a slightly lighter shade of blue with black and silver and that has worked fairly well IMHO in recent years. However, the retro green and blue scheme works better as it stands out more, looks vibrant, and doesn't need a third color. Good work. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenD 70 Posted July 21, 2016 I agree I prefer version A, I've never been a big fan of their current identity and I've always preferred their older set. Good job on both logo sets they're both really good I just prefer the older logo 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Anderes 758 Posted July 21, 2016 Version A is much better! Could we see some jerseys? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Go Red Sox! 1,165 Posted July 21, 2016 Looks good. I prefer draft A. I probably would enlarge the wolf's smaller left eye. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OnWis97 4,735 Posted July 21, 2016 These are both really good. As a Wolves fan, I am really interested in how this all turns out. I prefer A because I like the green/blue look from their early years. Black is not necessary. Nevertheless, B is solid as well and if they have to use black, I like your incorporation of green. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MasterAmino 5 Posted July 21, 2016 LOVE the half moon. I'd steal it and add it to my concept if I was a jerk like that. Going to add this to ESPN's contest? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I am going to add this to the ESPN contest. I'm still making some small adjustments and tweaks to make it look more complete. The uniforms are almost done as well. Once finished, i'll put the final product on here for you all to see. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unifaun1973 24 Posted July 22, 2016 I'm a bit confused about these Timberwolves posts (this one and the one by MasterAmino): who came up with the Version B wolf design? They are slightly different but clearly the same design (with the hidden tree into the wolf fur). Edit: I'm sorry, I've just realised that the design is actually based on the current Twolves alternate logo. Still, those two are actually very similar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lbj273 389 Posted July 25, 2016 I love version A, I would be thrilled if the Wolves went in this direction. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSportsDude 0 Posted July 25, 2016 I like version B, A looks a little bit cartoonish. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlevesque 28 Posted July 25, 2016 I prefer the white in version A, but in terms of the wolf B is better in my opinion. If I were you I would invert the black in version B. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AAO 113 Posted July 25, 2016 Version A is solid. I hope they go in a similar route, but maybe less like the original logo. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The team uses a slightly lighter shade of blue with black and silver and that has worked fairly well IMHO in recent years. A good fix would be to lighten the green... Something similar to the Vancouver Canucks shade would be ideal. Version B2 is hands down my favourite. Fix the contrast issue and the original poster has something special. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KittSmith_95 1,232 Posted July 25, 2016 I prefer the logos used with version B, but the colour scheme from Version A. Could we see a mockup of version B with Version A's colours? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattharveysc 37 Posted July 25, 2016 UPDATED VERSION: First off, Thank you all for your input. It was much appreciated. After looking at the concepts I have come up, I have made a few alterations. Version A: No changes: Version B: I lightened the blue and the green color. By doing this, the logo is now brighter, visible, and connects more with the audience. You are now able to see more of the detail of the wolf and the basketball. Version C: Copied version B, however, removed green as a secondary dominant color and replaced it with grey and white, giving the logo a softer, contemporary, retro feel. What you think of these improvements? What's your favorite and how can I continue to improve on these marks? Thank you all for your thoughts. You have been great! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
