You just don't see that cursive style in sports outside of baseball these days. I want that all across the baseline even though I know it won't happen. There's also a Horiztonal Version of that logo, with the script all in one line. Praying for that on the baseline, but we could maybe get the stacked version on one side of the baseline, and the stupid blank area on the other side to accommodate digital ads. 1 Quote Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the wordmark just floating like that. The Nets do the the same thing. Also feels very corporate-y. Plus i like the little swirly design + fleur de lis at the top. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall those two cut lines being that obvious. Looks like they aimed to subtly evoke the mountains...which is sneakily clever if you ask me. Oh and...SO glad they're keeping the purple. The gray really isn't even needed; either they should go back to silver or 86 it entirely. The rest of this logoset is top notch. I wanna see the new unis and especially the new number set now... 4 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepis21 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 So 'SAC" is stay with us. Is that mean it's unlikely to see Sacramento on jersey instead of Sac? I hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the thick/obvious cut lines were there in 2016 cause I had the same thoughts, well except for it being clever, more tacky and too obvious to me. The older 80s-mid 90s logo did it better.

pelicanfan Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 obviously nitpicking but i prefer the blue tinted grey. sorta makes all the difference for me as i think it slightly compliments the purple more. but other then that, im loving the cursive. a cursive branded team is exactly what the league has been needing and id honestly say that the kings were the best candidate to go in this direction. really embraces the whole royal theme. im hoping they come out with a real nice court design (please less black) and hopefully some a really good uniform set. 4 Quote New NBA court designs by me here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxtrot44 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I'm confused as this is the first I'm ever hearing of the Sacramento crown referencing the mountains. Is this actually a thing or are people just misreading the overlapping crown elements ? Quote I HATE THIS TIMELINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any "mountains" connection to California is imagined by someone who does not realize that logos designed in the 1970s did not have a dozen "easter eggs" and hidden meanings contained in them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky1324 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Yes, the lines have been there since the KC-Omaha days, but they were made a lot more prevalent in the 2016 update. I dug back to find press releases from when the logo was announced and it actually doesn't seem to mean anything. I really thought it was for the mountains and I'm actually a little disappointed because I thought that was an excellent way to tie into California's natural landscape while keeping the logo intact. 1 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea looking at the original one The lines are trying to give the crown dimension, with the 3 big points and the 2 in the back. But making those lines thicker, it loses that and just looks weird. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinsUp1214 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 If the Kings did a purple and grey or black homage to either one of these sets with the new wordmark, I’d be pretty darn thrilled: Count me in as a fan of that new stacked wordmark, too. That and the new “Kings” wordmark, are very, very nice. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One NBA team shared by two cities 180 miles apart. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thickening of the lines ARE dumb, along with there being less crown in general to fit in Sacramento, so it does not really look like what its suppose to be portraying.

CaliforniaGlowin Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Lines would make more sense depicting mountains than a crown. Is it a segmented crown like the Rams horns? 1 Quote Last updated 5/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I've always seen that as a crown/mountain cheeky hybrid, even though I know it's not meant to be. Would be a nice trick for one or both of the Utah soccer teams that play with monarch imagery. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
