phlash Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 They tweaked it so the basketball lines line up properly.It still looks like the lines are all mangled and don't meet up properly though. Would have to see it without the watch hands in the wayYou're right - they still look a little off.But at least the Clippers got rid of the one extra line above the wordmark which didn't continue beneath it:I swear, that one looks like it was re-constructed by aliens which had never actually seen a basketball before.I am in awe that this has happened again. Hey at least they're staying consistent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 It actually doesn't look wrong to me. The line on the bottom of the ball matches up with the middle line on top, and the line at the top left ends before the bottom due to the perspective of the ball. Seems to me people are just looking for yet another thing to make fun of the Clips for. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even sure if you yourself know what you're talking about.Everyone with at least a decent capability of perceiving 3d has agreed that there is one line that's way off over there.Perhaps you can illustrate?

alexgizh Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 The new one is totally OK as far as lines are of concern. However, this is faaaar away from even an 'r', let alone a 'rebrand'. Most people, including die-hard Clipper fans (are there such?) will not even notice the 'logo change'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me people are just looking for yet another thing to make fun of the Clips for.I'm in total agreement FWIW. I tilted my head, and it's quite clear the lines are perfectly lined up. The line on the bottom of the bottom of the ball follows the natural curve of the middle line on top.The perspective of the ball is not a common one...if you can't see it, go get a basketball and position it just like it's shown. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone's in agreement that that one's :censored:ed up.I am talking about the new revision. The "basketball" in the old logo is more reminiscent of a volleyball to me.And bruschimania, you try being a Clippers fan for even a week and putting up with stupid, so-old-their-almost-mouldy jokes about how WNBA teams could beat the Clippers and Sterling is "cheap." I mean, at least three times in this very thread, people have called the Clips' minor tweak "cheap" and tawdry.... but if it were, say, the Lakers logo being slightly tweaked, it'd probably be called "a fantastic update to a classic logo."

Lights Out Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Good one! And let me guess, Sterling's cheap, too. Never mind the expensive new training facility put in a couple of years ago, or how he got the Baron Davis deal done. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Believe me, he's done some horrible things while owning the Clippers, things indefensible by his own fanbase. However, from the perspective of how he runs his team, a lot of the old cliches don't ring true anymore. He no longer changes coaches like toilet paper - Dunleavy, frankly, stayed longer than he should have. He's not cheap, for reasons I already mentioned. And he stresses a commitment to winning in his interviews now.I'm not arguing about the personal stuff - I'm only trying to say that he isn't 100% god-awful at running a franchise anymore.

DustDevil61 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm not arguing about the personal stuff - I'm only trying to say that he [Donald Sterling] isn't 100% god-awful at running a franchise anymore.I agree, but it appears that the Clippers are only doing a minor change to their logo (which pretty much appears as a red-white-blue Lakers logo to me, anyways) when they could at least introduce an alternate logo (like a ship), or even bring back the initial San Diego Clippers logo. You would think that they would do a little something more than update the same logo that has represented, historically, their futility and their second-banana status in Los Angeles.Since bringing in Baron Davis and drafting Blake Griffin, this would be the perfect time for the Clippers to freshen up their overall look. I'm not talking a complete overhaul, just something fresh. Something needs to be done to that logo, and merely updating it doesn't seem to reflect the apparent change in heart for Donald Sterling.

Lights Out Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 How do we know they aren't introducing another secondary logo? These were all only primary logos on the watches. I wouldn't be surprised to see another one - it'd be cool to see them use the ship theme for the first time since the early years in San Diego. And the Florida Panthers have had a futile existence - nobody's demanding that they should change their logo. Same thing with the Nationals. Hell, the Lions merely updated their logo after a historic 0-16 season, instead of completely going in a new direction.

The_Admiral Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 The Nationals had a good identity and started tinkering with it since before day one (someone, reportedly Selig, pulling a power play and insisting on the red W hats instead of navy DC hats). If anything, they should go back to the beginning and piece things back together again. You do have a point with it only being the primary. It could be like the rarely-seen New Orleans Hornets "primary." ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 To summarize, I rendered these out from the watch pics:The bottom 3 are "maybes" in my opinion, with the top 5 primaries as all-but-confirmed by now. Now the wait begins for uniform sets from CLE(minor), GST, LAC(?), & UTA. Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 What's different about the Bobcats and Suns, other than their alternate logos possibly becoming the primaries?Although with Phoenix, their alternate logo, at this point, has basically become their primary. It's the logo at mid-court, it's the logo on their jerseys and it's the logo that's used by nearly every sports network as the onscreen graphic.

habsfan1 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I've only got one question. Is the Jazz logo in purple or blue? It looks purple but I'm unsure because of my computer screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
