Go Red Sox! Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 As a long time Chicago Bulls fan myself, I'm aware of the fact that most die-hard supporters of this NBA franchise actually want no changes at all – I did it anyway. The main focus was on increasing line width, cleaning up and centering the wordmark properly (still Stymie Becker, Bold) and adding just a tiny notch of modernization to the Bull's head, so that one would easily recognize the mark, but also appreciate the aspect in terms of refreshing the brand a little bit.

timberwolf Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 If the Bulls ever rebrand, this would be the only acceptable refresh. Great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolingian Steamroller Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 That's shockingly effective. I actually looks a lot like the way the logo appears on a cap, where the line weight is a little thicker due to the stitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't even remember what the Bull's head exactly looks like on a cap. Last Bulls cap I've bought was roughly 25 years ago. “Never argue with an idiot!

SEANL Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I definitely think the line weight and text spacing is an upgrade and makes the logo very uniform and a bit more modern. My two favorite parts of the upgrade are the indent at the top of the bulls skull and the removal of the outline on the blood on the tip of the horns.

flyersfan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 It looks meaner. I like it. Great job, this is how to update with the times yet keep the tradition. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent. Thanks, flyersfan! In fact, the meaner looking bull wasn't a priority in the beginning at all. It somehow evolved into it, since at some point I've realized that his eyes and some other areas could use some tweaking here and there. “Never argue with an idiot!

faux Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Great update. My only real comment would be that the nostrils now look like speech bubbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 The logo update is nice, but the title of the thread is completely misleading. This isn't an overhaul, it's a tweak. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
