hettinger_rl Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Well here is one made to the C&C I've received. The "shield" in this logo is actually the thunder cloud. We do know that basketballs are orange.... but maybe the 26 teams in the NBA that don't have orange ones in their logos should be told (especially the 2 that have yellow ones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAO Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Your logos look great, but their current color scheme does no justice to their team. I think you should definitely experiment with other color schemes. And the negative orange/blue doesn't look right, meaning you should definitely use contrasting colors over these colors that clash.

hettinger_rl Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Here are some other color options. The first is one I was using earlier for this concept. It would be a unique scheme, but it does have a blue main color. The second would be unique also (other than the wizards alt).Combining the two schemes could possibly work as well.#1#2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 a brown-based scheme would be nice...but add another color as well (not another neutral), and maybe make the brown darker. Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aci Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Both of those look pretty awesome. I think I prefer the second one, but I really love how well the three logos complement each other, and how well this concept has progressed. Excellent work!p.s. When I mentioned the yellow ball, it was just because you already had orange in the colour scheme. If you hadn't had it, a yellow ball would have made some sense, but with orange at other places in the logo, it didn't look right.

MDC Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 These logos, have always been drawn well, but up until the last post, the color scheme really turned me away. However, the gold looks b-e-a-utiful. Add in another color, (I was thinking some sort of yellow...) and you have some damn good logos ---Owner of the NHA's Philadelphia Quakers, the UBA's Chicago Skyliners, and the CFA's Portland Beavers (2010 CFA2 Champions)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I was trying to find a good color scheme for you a couple days ago. I'll be honest, I had a hell of a time making it look okay. I know I was playing around with Black, Gold, and Light Blue, but I also Thought Maroon, Orange, and Silver looked pretty sweet. Again, it was tough to figure out and I didn't do it justice, but maybe those are some ideas you can try out and make work for you. I love the concept. Just for whatever reason this is one of those logos that is hard to color correctly. I've seen it happen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hettinger_rl Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 I should have let everyone know: the brown is gold and the light greys are silver. What does everyone think of possibly combing the schemes? Adding the blue into the gold scheme or gold into blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding the blue into the gold scheme or gold into blue.That gold and black color scheme is brilliant and would set them apart from some of the other teams in the NBA. But, you should add another trim color.....possibly powder blue or red-orange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the work you did, but working on someone else's concept, without talking to them about it, is heavily frowned upon on here. Its a rookie mistake and seeing how your a "rookie" to this site its understandable. Maybe I should be flattered that my designs got someones attention like this. Some of the members that are more senior on here than I am can explain it all to you better.All that said... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAB Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Oh my god. I know that you are new, but that is a HUGE no-no here. Hettinger spent so long developing those logos, and to see someone mess with them is really maddening. I won't go on some huge rant, because there might be others who will. You should never EVER try to redo somebody's logo from a thread without there permission. Even if they are better than the originals, you will not make any friends here.Not exactly going to be a warm welcome from anybody, but it's a learning experience, right?

hettinger_rl Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 I am at an impass with this concept. My inexperience with and lack of Illustrator will leave this concept in this state. I would like to finish it off and get it looking professional. Any help would be appreciated. PM me with tips and/or help.... maybe even a collaboration.

hettinger_rl Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 So I got a vectorizing program and I've been tweaking my color idea. I hope I'm not beating a dead horse. I was thinking of what color schemes were left out or under used in the NBA, and thinking that the league may not be ready for a team that has metallic gold primary color. So here is OKC in Red/Yellow/Silver or Grey. I've highlighted the lightning bolt and tried to distinguish the cloud more.EDIT: On my screen the colors looked as listed. Here are the Adjusted images.#1#2#3#4C&C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boshalladay Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'm sorry, but that lime green is hideous. I would stick with the ones with the current color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 The color scheme doesn't make sense, or tie in with the nickname, mascot, or region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
