Windmill360 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Looks meh to me. I sort of see a bulls skull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 It would actually be better if the basketball wasn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 The wordmark is damn generic. Otherwise, I think it's a pretty nice logo. The star and its streak do look like a bull skull which is fairly clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_Idiot Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 i didn't even see the basketball at first glance.It's not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 It's a T and a Longhorn Skull in addition to the obvious shooting star on top of a basketball.I originally thought it was just alright, but those two elements make it significantly better if still not great.

rtrich11 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 At my first glance I thought the star was supposed to be an airplane, but the drop shadows were all off. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to "see". cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 If the logo is trying to elude to an animal skull then somewhere Georgia O'Keefe is puking in her grave. bad logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 If the logo is trying to elude to an animal skull then somewhere Georgia O'Keefe is puking in her grave. bad logo.We get it. The shape of any longhorn skull is inherently similar to that of the female reproductive system, and the third grader in some of us can't see beyond that when critiquing an otherwise engaging mark such as this. Grow up a little. Art imitates life, and there are countless pieces of successful art that are either phallic or yonic in nature. It'd be great if that sort of thing could quit being labeled 'taboo' and eventually be accepted for its beauty, concept and craft instead of being beleaguered for what it vaguely resembles.

The logo is trying to get away to an animal skull? Wha?It looks like a kid's fairy princess wand from a terrible angle. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Cianfrocco Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 The font may be generic, but I immediately thought of the Seahawks when seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get off your high horse and join the rest of us. You are jumping waaaaaay off target here and trying to defend a pretty $hitty logo here by trying to show us your apparently unending knowledge of art and art history. Please, spare me. I was making a joke. If you don't like it then fine. Don't insult me. Just say your don't like it. Nobody is labeling it taboo. Its a crappy logo. period. Its certainly no Houston Texans logo no matter how much you wish it were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 No, I got your joke. The point was that the word 'elude' is not what you're looking for in that sentence (nor was it the second time).

Its certainly no Houston Texans logo no matter how much you wish it were.No, but you alluded to one with the Georgia O'Keefe comment. I didn't insult you. The comment wasn't even aimed solely at you. I stated that I think that the critiques in general could be much stronger. Whether I like the logo or not, I think the criticism could (and probably should) be at least a little bit relevant to the principles of design, i.e. "Is it attractive? Is it appropriate?" Not, "It looks like a vagina." While not a direct critique on the work, your joke was the catalyst for me to voice my opinion on the topic of people deriding logos that bear any sort of vague resemblance to an 'anatomical' feature.
