slapshot Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 It's like they blew up the Text version of the font (which has those awkward looking ink traps) instead of using the Display version, which has more appropriately-mitered joints.

Germanshepherd Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 That N just doesn't look right. The more you look at it the less it looks like an N. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B has a bigger "loop" on top than on the bottom...usually the smaller "loop" is on top. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Thanks for the visual, I could not see that before. They literally looked the same to me before. Still it will take me some serious looking at to notice, it's not like a "can't unsee" sort of deal.

Look at the layout of the N and A. The top of the letters are longer than the bottom. It's just the font. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

Shadojoker Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Watching NBA Summer League on ESPN..they are using the new NBA logo on the video graphics packages, and it's on the logos on the court. Doesn't look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigFiz21 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Not a fan of this logo update...the font doesn't look attractive IMO, but I guess I'll have to open up to it. I did do a mockup of how it most likely will affect the TNT logo. Not a perfect Paint job, but I did it nonetheless. It's a meh for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 The new logo translates poorly to the NBA TV logo. It looks like someone made an error in photoshop. New: Old: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 How long did they have the old one? 40 years? It never looked outdated.
