JamesCraven Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 All we need is the Eras Ultra Bold "2005 NBA" between "The" and "Finals". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 somebody phoned that one in... My thoughts exactly. Do they even use a designer for that? The Finals logo is almost (if not) exactly the same as last year, and the rest... well, simplicity is in, and these are so in Oprah inquired about wearing them to the Oscars.

pcgd Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Right, and I know its not, but that font is too close to copperplate to use IMO.My boss the other day told me...If you're ever having trouble pleasing a client, use copperplate. To that I repsonded "and use a bunch of misguided gradients?""Yes" I was told. I'm pretty sure they were serious. I know they were about copperplate.

dannymits Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Still, there's some elegance in the simplicity. Seeing the year '2005' on the playoffs, conference finals, and finals logos wouldn't hurt, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Except for the NBA Draft & Finals logos, the type used in all of those is Emigré's Matrix, the same font used by the D-Backs, Mariners, and Baltimore Ravens. They are all very simple, and not very creative. Maybe it's a good thing that they're boring, so when their placed with the respective NBA Playoff teams' logos, the teams' logos will stand out more.

DEAD! Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I've always loved that Finals wordmark. The other logos are nice well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Is that not the same logo package as last year??? Not only for the playoffs, but for the draft as well??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj32 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 The Draft and Finals logos are the same as last year's. The other Playoffs logos are improvements over those of the last two years, which were similar type faces encased in ovals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewbanpimp Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hey everyone.... this is my first post here, so I hope I'm not repeating anyone.I would like to see them use the years again. Especially when you're watching old highlights, it's nice to see it on the court.Any idea why the league got rid of the year in the first place? My guess would be so people wouldn't know what year it is, to give it more of a timeless look or something, but I don't know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eqtmgr Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I really like the Playoffs and Conference Finals tags. The Finals logo is the traditional logo that they have been using since the early 80's. It's old, but timeless and classy. Mahalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
