76ers Redesign Concept


PhilaLogos

Recommended Posts

There's been discussion going on that the Sixers may finally bring back a red, white, and blue identity what with the re-emergence of the old logo and Elton Brand's photo shoot in the retro uniforms. What I did here was update the old logo, make a new secondary logo based on this Phillies bi-centennial patch, and incorporate some parts of past unifrom designs I liked; the script circa mid-90's uniforms and numbers circa 80's-90's uniforms. I was pleased with how it turned out but I still look foward to hearing what you all have to say about it.

Very sharp. I'll echo the love for the secondary logo. Maybe put it on the shorts for the alt uniform. This would have been a great update from the Barkley era.

Very nice work. I love the adaptation of the baseball patch for the secondary logo. A few thoughts:

1. ShinyHubCaps is right about the outline on the 6. The bottom of the logo is tricky, because of the difference in colors of the numbers. I'm not sure how to fix it though. Maybe make half of the bell red, and half blue? Maybe just put the same outline on the 7? I'm not sure.

2. The numbers in the alt logo could probably be a little bigger, even if they overlap the lines in the bell a little bit. It doesn't have to be so literal of an interpretation of the baseball version.

3. Personally, I'd probably put PHILA on the alt jersey, just to keep a historical tie-in going. It looks fine with SIXERS too though.

4. The shadows on the primary really need some work.

Thanks for all the c&c people! As for the shadowing on the primary I agree it needs work but that's sort of my weakness as I designer at this point. I've come a long way but I still don't have much of an eye for shadows; I basically do the same crescent thing for every ball logo so I'm kind of stuck there unless anyone has specific ideas on how to improve it. As for the secondary there isn't much I can do I guess you kind of have to imagine it against a gray background so that the 6 looks isolated not outlined if that makes sense.

Great. Simply great. I don't get what others are saying about the outline in the secondary. I think it looks perfect as is. Adding "Phila" to the alts was a good change. On reversing the highlighting on the primary, simply change the ball to the lighter color and change the highlight to the darker color. Pretty simple. Although, looking at this more, I think it may be fine as is. Maybe raise the back numbers up a little so that they're not so far down and closer to the names.

I have absolutely nothing to critique. This looks outstanding as is. You did a great job meshing the different era designs together, the shading looks fine to me, and I love the Phillies patch alternate logo. Solid. Timeless. Design.

nice, nice, and nice.

i really like it, so much so that I could care less that we'd be getting yet another blue/red team in the NBA (also, they used to be that way, so it's ok)

Here's an idea for the primary... maybe add a think outline around the text/stars (the lighter shadowing you use). The thing that kind of irks me about it is that the red/royal lettering slightly blends too much with the darker powder ball. Another possibility would be to use the lighter shade as drop shadowing for the text/stars.
