Milo Meningocele Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I think you guys are going wrong with the purple hornet on green, even the lighter green doesn't look right to me. I think the teal hornet works best, it just needs a little more yellow, probably somewhere on the outline would do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I don't know - this really isn't working that well for me.You have to go pretty light to make the purple work against the green, and then it does have that photonegative look.None of these really improve upon the original: The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

But alongside these new ideas, it looks just perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arts11 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 i like it. but for some reason it kinda reminds me of something a college would useInteresting. Can you be more specific?i couldn't really tell you why it makes me feel so, it's just a weird feeling . but, i guess if i had to give a reason, it would be b/c it lacks any sort of lettering (granted, it's a non-primary logo so that's not out of the ordinary, but i think it's strong enough to stand on its own as a primary). it's just a pure logo and that's just something i've always associated with colleges.

jeremyb Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I like this logo a lot, but do the Saints have a justified complaint? Or is the fleur-de-lis enough of a New Orleans staple that anyone and everyone can get away with this?The Saints could only complain if the new hornets logo looked something like thisGothamite although you might not like the last recolorization you did I like it, it gives the logo a real mardi gras feel, I'd love to see those jerseys.

Gothamite Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I like the Mardi Gras colors well enough, but I don't think they work in the context of that logo.You'd have to make gold one of the two primaries, which either mimics the Sonics or the Lakers.

But I knew it was all over New Orleans (outside the Saints), it's just that no other New Orleans pro sports team had tried it as a primary, superimposed Hornet or no. That's all.

Gothamite Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Well, according to the site, the version with the words is the primary logo, and the version against the hexagon is an alternate.

Leafs Rock Planet Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Its a really nice logo that combines a New Orleans' tradition with the hornet in the middle there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they have now is great, I just wish they'd play down the teal a little bit and add more purple. BTW, adding green is just a bad move. Doesn't work regardless of what shade or hue is used. Purple and Green are a uniform mess....refer to the Milwaukee Bucks from a few years ago. Adding yellow would make it even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koizim Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Well, at least now the Hornets can't use the "But, we don't have a replacement logo for our current 'bee-with-facial-tick' logo." excuse.

chakfu Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I'm surprised no one has done a recolorization like this to see how it would look, the obvious solution to 'needs more yellow'obviously I did this really sloppily, but I think it looks nice and 'pops' this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a real thin outline on the inside of the fleur, and leave the hornet as is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
