RichNCreamy Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Well, the NBA is back and not a moment too soon! The return of the league had me looking back at some old concepts, and upon seeing my Clippers logo I decided to clean it up a bit. Also added a secondary, uniforms, and court design.For reference here is what I started with...And here's the new look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 oh my...this is fantastic.something about the colors is throwing me a bit, but i cant put my finger on it. also, i think it needs an "SD" tertiary logo maybe somehow utilizing a compass rose. fabulous start though, this is close to glory.ps: maybe add "San Diego" somewhere in the primary?

tdk1984 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Looks sharp. Definitely like. Not changing until the Dallas Stars give all their pre-Dallas history, logos, colors, unis, name, etc. to the Minnesota Wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 yes. salmon is an underrated color ---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...
altosax29b Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 This is incredible. It would be interesting to see what that logo looks like with the colors on the city flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 There is a lot to like about this concept, well done. Just not sure how its necesarily a San Diego Clippers concept? Why not keep it as LA in this concept? Small thing, why is the script on the home still in white? Yes its shadowed in the blue and orange, but I'd prefer the actual script to be in a color. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnmrwrw Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 A vast improvement; just goes to show how especially important type choice is. The colors are unique and work very well together. The wave highlights also work wonders. I really think you can improve this by dotting the I in "Clippers" with either a compass rose or a ship's steering wheel, which would also set you up nicely for a tertiary logo.

RichNCreamy Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Thanks to everyone for the feedback! I took some of your advice and included an 'SD' tertiary and altered the primary to include 'San Diego' to give the identity some city ownership. Also took dgnmrwrw's advice and dotted the 'i' with a compass rose. I think these small touches have really given the whole thing a more completed look.*EDIT* Also, imagine that the wordmark on center-court and on the jerseys includes the new 'i' embelishment. Forgot to add that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its shadowed in the blue and orange, but I'd prefer the actual script to be in a color.I took my cue from the new Kings' home uniform. I might be in the minority here, but I think their white script outlined in color on a white jersey looks damn sharp. So I thought I'd try it here. Just personal preference I guess...

Saintsfan Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Great updates there. Adding the San Diego bits in there does a lot. As for the home script, yep designers choice. Personlly I think say a navy script would 'pop' better, but its your call as the designer!! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I would try putting San Diego on the Away uniforms. I'm sure they would be so excited to be out of LA and out of the Lakers shadow, they would love to show the NBA they are San Diego's team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichNCreamy Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Ok. Looks like Saintsfan was right. I think the navy blue wordmark on the home does look better. Also changed it to say San Diego on the roadie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnmrwrw Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I actually completely agreed with using the white wordmark on the white jersey. I thought it looked great, and I was even going to suggest you try something similar on the blue jersey (blue on blue). But the new one looks ok too. The added and updated logos look nice as well. Good job on this. HURRICANES | PANTHERS | WHITE SOX | WOLFPACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpygremlin Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 The most recent update is FANTASTIC. I would like to see you fix the court, with the dotted i in the "clippers" script. Also, I do agree that the C looks like an e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoGTS Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I really like this whole concept a lot, wouldnt mind seeing the Clippers go to this. Might as well go to San Diego anyway and get a fanbase going lol.

Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

theflakeband Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 these look fantastic. my only gripe is the color. I've just getting tired of seeing orange and navy. With charlotte,okc, golden st., all having the same color. I think it would look fantastic to go back to the red and blue or try a color combo we don't see in the nba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 ^So you're saying orange and blue is oversused, and blue and red would be more unique? I'm not understanding this. This shade of orange with navy works very well IMO. Love the wordmark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altosax29b Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I think the obvious colors to use would be the unique red and goldish colors on the San diego city flag as can be seen on the city's wikipedia page. I would like to see this concept using that palette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
