$teauA Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I knew about the one with the baketball behind the bobcat head but where did the other ones come from?http://www.sportslogos.net/team.php?id=258The team hasn't made any official announcement about a logo change but it looks to me like the move will be permanent as of next season and that horrible midcourt middle school logo will be gone. I really like the 'C' secondary logos and this one would look great a midcourt: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the 'C' secondary logos and this one would look great a midcourt:The team made an official announcement before the season, it was fairly quite. The team is switching to primary blues next season, but the logos are being used this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantleisthebest7 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 It looks like a ticked off housecat looking for its ball of yarn. The side view bobcat looks more fierce to me. Jimmy Eat World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Whats the deal with the 'C' logo? Looks horrible IMO. Is that supposed to be a claw on top?What the hell were they thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning River Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 The top of the "C" is a Crown. Charlotte is nick-named: "The Queen City" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I really like the "C"...and I'm confused that this team has had so many logos in such a short time.The "Crown" on top of the C reminds me of UNC-Charlotte's academic logo, though...

powersurge Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 If you didn't know that Charlotte was "the Queen City" and weren't looking for it, that does NOT look like a crown. Its not only too vague to be a crown, but oddly placed on the block letter. Did the designer actually look at a crown? or was he/she trying to come up with some kind of design element that would blur the lines between a crown and a claw? That looks like something you'd see in a sophomore level design class....its terrible. Not to say that the OTHER logos are any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Meningocele Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 But that's such a common nickname to bother acknowledging in a logo:A crapload of other places called "Queen City", tooHonestly, Cincinnati comes to mind before any other when I hear that name.

leedsunited Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Whats the deal with the 'C' logo? Looks horrible IMO. Is that supposed to be a claw on top?What the hell were they thinking?I don't know, I kinda like it - as far as secondary logos go. - although the orange drop shadow looks a bit off around the crown area. The orange just should have been a full outline, not a shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
