BBTV Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 The wolf (or whatever it is) only has one eye! And one ear! This logo is simply disturbing.

Brian in Boston Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 From the producers of The Fly comes a new tale of science run amok... and the terror it leaves in its wake.What begins as a marriage of science, sports and showmanship soon evolves into something far more sinister... Who could know that the introduction of a matter-scrambling transporter device into a Siegfried & Roy Las Vegas stage revue featuring special guest Meadowlark Lemon would result in the creation of a beast so mind-numbingly, bone-chillingly, flesh-crawlingly terrifying? Who could predict that such a monster would be inexplicably drawn to concealing itself in the luggage of a pair of retirees from northwestern Ohio? Who could foresee the devastation the creature would unleash upon an unsuspecting Rust Belt city? Part tiger... part multi-colored, ten-panel Rawlings basketball...

PhiSlammaJamma23 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 i just understand why the ABA has to incorporate the red, white, and blue basketball in EVERY single logo it has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideRight Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I actually like this one. If it were an orange ball the Tiger idea couldreally work well. But even with the ABA red-white-blue ball it is a niceconcept. I think they did an excellent job of having the tiger's snout lineblend with the seam of the ball. Of course, it makes no sense for a team called the ICE, but were they theSnowcats or Siberians, it would be a solid logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 And the owners of the Toledo Storm celebrate the fact that they now have the SECOND worst logo in town.The Toledo Ice - great name for a BASKETBALL team. Is this supposed to suggest that money is so tight, they won't be able to lay down a wooden floor over the hockey surface at the arena? Certainly would give the home team an advantage.

Kess Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 It's not a tumor. rtrich wins.I really like about 1/2 of that logo. But when I have to look at the whole thing...it gives me nightmares. And I guess the tiger relates to "Ice"....because it's...white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatCityEnforcer Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I'm not a fan of this....Whoever thought a white tiger coming out of an ABA ball would be a good idea for a team logo needs to have a Sigfried & Roy incident, pronto...

JQK Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 You're looking at this all wrong guys. You have to take this logo in context.Look at the ABA logos. How many of them look good? How many are even executed well?Why one may disagree with the design of this logo, it is by far the best executed and well put-together logo in the ABA.

KJTALBOT Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I'm not saying it's a ripoff, but it is similar to the Tiger head in the Detroit baseball club's primary logo. It's not a tumor - classic. Everyone loves a roundel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling84 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 No disrespect to Wideright, but the nose lining up with the ball seem is NOT reason enough to like this thing.We've all had that moment........"hey, I bet I can make the beak an "A" or seen a shape that would look "neat" and naturally seems to want to go with another shape.These are good impulses. Your brain is recognizing them and working up these ideas is a good thing. But they also tend to be the worst ideas that are too obvious, grand or involved to pull off.We all try these types of things, but inevitably you have to sacrifice MUCH more to make them work than its worth. You compromise the whole thing to pull off that trick.That line is the first thing I saw when I opened this thread. And I instantly thought that this dude went with his/her first impulse and never took a step back and thought how stupid it looked.........cause how could it be stupid? That line GOES RIGHT FROM THE SEEM INTO THE TIGERS NOSE!! Thats awesome right?wrong. Most of these ideas are best put down on paper, to purge out the obvious, dusty, lame, literal ideas from your head, and then ritually burned so you can proceed clearly.AND, the tiger is traced. Tracing is ok...but only as a starting point...to get perspective or placement correct. At some point you've got to revisit it and make it NOT look like you traced a picture of a tiger.This is lame on a tremendous scale. Three thumbs down. boo. hiss.
