New Atlanta Hawks Logo?

[ZBoyer]

You know what though? If they took that as a first step, got rid of all of the silly effects, and thought it out a little more, it might not be that bad. Their current Hawk right now is almost as dated as the Raptor, and I think that if they could polish that up a bit it would be solid.

Especially that bootleg wordmark there - I like the wings coming off the side.

A good start for whoever had that much time, but that's about all it is.

Guys, I wouldn't put it past Atlanta Spirit to do this. First, look at the similarities with the Brand Atlanta campaign's logo. I wouldn't doubt that the city might help fund a Hawks rebranding to go in line with the local campaign:

Also, take a look at the logo on the Hawks' mascot, SkyHawk. There are striking similarities between this mockup and the logo on his uniform.

PANTONE - you've heard nothing about this?

I think that alone would be the determining factor.

Get rid of the bevels/gradients and I think you've got the beginnings of a pretty solid mark. The wordmark is a little too biker/chopper/tatoo for the NBA but it's got some potential.

I haven't, but then again, I didn't know anything about the Bucks' changes either, until someone posted that Draft Cap.

That just doesn't look like an NBA logo to me. Gradients aside.

Well I guess the Mavs don't have an NBA Logo, because that's almost exactly what it looks like. Replace the Hawks Bird with the Mavs Horse and pull a Shanurr Switcheroo and that's the Dallas Mavericks logo.

With that being said, anything is better than the logo they have now. It's just...boring. Bring back the Pac Man!

Waitaminute...current logo = boring, but old Pac-Man logo = NOT boring???

This isn't a professional sports logo...although it's well-rendered, it's more suited for a tattoo on the arm of some Trans-Am-driving guy with fuzzy dice hanging from his rear-view mirror.

I resemble that comment!!!

It was just because of the whole negative space thing going on. When you saw it as a hawk for the first time, and not a pac-man, you'd be like <joeystyles>OH MY GOOOD!</joeystyles>

...or maybe not. Maybe it was just me...lol, but I know there's been a lot of people going around these parts crying out for the Pac Man to come back, myself included.

I think it was just the segment of society that was heavy into video games that saw it as Pac Man. I think most people recognized it as a Hawk profile, considering the team name and all.
