OKC Thunder Concept

[undead]

It's a good update but remember, it's a sports logo, not a comic book Logos don't get shaded by adding little lines like that. Change those into solid shapes and you'd be on to something.

*congrats on #200

Of the last three which is best?

[undead]

The third one.

[hettinger_rl]

What about these edits? Which works better?

[Sguse1]

2nd one looks pretty good to me. Nice development with this concept.

[Sport]

I would like to know which logo has the most potential as a primary, which for secondary/alternate, and which ones work well together or alone. The color scheme has nothing to do with these thoughts....but eventually I'd like a consensus on that.

I love the head front view logo, but this is your primary, and I'd lose the "Oklahoma City". You can work a wordmark in later, but for now to fix this the back clouds part still looks like curls. There needs to be something that distinguishes the buffalo head from the cloud body and I think that a big sleek bolt of lightning would do that. The top cloud looks like the hump on the back and I'd keep it and then slowly transition down the back into making it look more like clouds.

very cool so far and good idea.

Of the revised secondaries, I prefer the first one, but barely. The second version looks like it's trying to hard, but I still do like the idea.

I disagree with McCarthy's assessment that something like a lightning bolt needs to separate the buffalo head with the cloud body. In my opinion, the more you can blur that line, the better.

What about these? Which is best?

[Epiphanic]

The third one. The detailed horns looked kinda weird to my eye at the beginning, but as I look more at it, the more I like it.

[hettinger_rl]

Should I add the clouds/shield on to the detailed version to create another Alt.? or are they not needed?

[hettinger_rl]

This may be the finished logo set (depending on the feedback). I used the actual color scheme, but I decided to leave dark blue out of the actual logo and relegate it to the background. This makes the logo color scheme an NBA unique Light Blue/Orange/Maize. Thanks for all the intrest. Choose between the last two. C&C please.

Primary

Secondary

Tertiary

I'm not really a fan of using the orange as shading. Any chance it can be toned down. Maybe use a darker blue for the shading, and use orange for accents.

[CAB]

PERFECTION!!!

Great job on taking the criticism to make these great.

[Epiphanic]

Colors notwithstanding, the second tertiary is better than the first.

[hettinger_rl]

Does anyone think that I could take the Tertiary's forehead and make another alt? Using the thunder cloud and lighting.

The reason I didn't use the dark blue for the shading is that it would be like a knockoff of the grizzlies logo. I could try a more burnt orange, but I was trying to keep the current color scheme.

Would this be better?

[Conrad.]

now it looks like yet another red-blue team in the nba...i would go with the burnt orange and bright blue. or maybe even black/brown and bright blue. it just needs more contrast to make it more menacing. very nice work on the refinement of the form though, its come quite a long way.

[hettinger_rl]

I tilted the ball to a different angle, added a bolt of lightning, and slapped the Blue/Orange/Maize colors on. It may still need something.... C&C Please.

[Shane Does Art]

I still suggest having a darker blue to go with the blue you have already.

[aci]

It'd look better with the dark blue as the outline and the orange as the ball colour... cuz, ya know, basketballs aren't yellow...

Just add a narrow outline around the whole thing in yellow or something if it's going to end up on a dark blue background.

[JayLo1112]

honestly it looks great, but there's too many things thrown in there: ball, buffalo, shield, lightening bolt.

I'd remove the lightening bolt and smooth out the bottom. or eliminate the shield.
