Joshawaggie Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I don't think its the greatest logo ever, but when i first saw it I liked it grom the get go, the more i see it, the more i like it. josh @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Its still growing on me! My favourite bit is that there are 2 h's. The capital H made by the hoop, and a lower case made by the left rocket and the bottom of the R.I don't know if thats a purposeful thing but I reckon it looks clever! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 saintsfan, doesn't that second lowercase h appears everytime you print a capital R? ??? Anyway, it's grown on me a bit, but I'm still not a fan. I'll wait for the jerseys before I make my final decision.One of the things I dislike the most is that the well defined speed lines. As much as I hate gradients in logos and jerseys, I think it looks better in the fans' mockups where they blur the speed lines slightly (like the left one bluemonkey posted).And IMO, for some reason the silver on red works better than the red on silver background.

DEAD! Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Here's an off-topic question, do you think the Rockets really need TWO mascots? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Well it must be pretty tough being a mascot for an 82 game season (41 home games) and then the playoffs! I guess having two takes the pressure of a little! Maybe it will start a trend and teams might employ two coaches, two announcers, who knows where it might stop 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Well, at least there are more than two women on the dance team. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Studying this god-awful abomination is like playing a "Hidden Picture" game in "Highlights Magazine for Children":Let's see just how many letters we can find hidden in the Houston Rockets' new logo (Font!)...Oh, look... there's an upper-case "R"! Yippee!Hmmm... I spy an upper-case "H"! Golly!Hey... isn't that a lower-case "h"? It sure is!That hoop-y thing could be an upper-case "O"! Nice call!R... H... h... O. What's it stand for, gang?(All together now!)REALLY HORRIFIC, huh? OBVIOUSLY!Brian in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDunn Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 when I see this logo without the text around it, it looks a lot better. The letters I see are HRB. In other words, Houston Rockets Basketball. They are out of order considering we read top to bottom, so it reads like Rockets Basketball Houston or Basketball Rockets Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I just noticed the similarities between this new Rockets logo and the logo for the Quake 3 video game... I'll let you be the judge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unifreak Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 It needs a background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 11, 2003 Author Share Posted July 11, 2003 Wow, nitro, that does look close. I've seen the Quake 3 logo since the Rockets logo and didn't think much of it, but in the same colour, next to each other, there's definitely some striking similarities.

shiznit1083 Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 It's kind of creepy how similar it is. Maybe it played a part in the thought process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Any Farkers out here?Check out fark.com - they have a section touching on the Rockets logo, giving their viewers the opportunity to "Photoshop" it into, well... you need to see it for yourself.
