CubsFanBudMan Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I come to my hometown to find front page logo news. The qc aba team got a name and logo. Hadn't seen it here, but I am on lofi version on BlackBerry. It is riverhawks and the logo is same as Atlanta hawks, which is interesting because NBA hawks started as tri-cities blackhawks in same place. Only difference is aba logo in place of ball. Not sure how they can get away with that. Sorry for no photo and cryptic English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 an article i read said that the team owners said that they had graphic designers alter the old hawks logo carefully so they had a new identity. sure, but i think its just stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilomile Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 This isn't as as bad as the other examples of taking a pro name and logo, considering the history. It's a nice homage and for the ABA, this isn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Actually, the image posted above is not what they printed in the local paper. It was this bird:... colored slightly different, with the full ABA logo (below) in its claws and a different font for the wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 OK, so I finally found a site using the logo I was talking about:http://www.oursportscentral.com/images/tea...baqcrhawks2.gifIt's small... but then I found another graveyarded thread when searching for this one that pointed to their official site:http://www.qcriverhawks.comhttp://www.qcriverhawks.com/images/m1.jpgMy attempt at lining up the masthead didn't work, but you get the idea, The one they use on their site is more of a ripoff than the one I originally saw in the paper, which appears to be more like that mini version -- a brown body.Only took me a month. Quite the Atlanta Hawks ripoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
