Wasatch Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Yeah, it doesn't have any Utah symbolism and it's not the New Orleans palette they inherited. Totally devoid of semiotic value in addition to being depressing and devoid of contrast. Drab and pedestrian.You do know that anybody close to the team really doesn't care about the colors being Utah symbolic anymore, right? I guess I'm getting tired of people bringing up the whole "this logo has nothing to do with Utah" argument when the team really doesn't care. They want to get back to the days of that classic look, where the team crossed over to the other side and became a constant playoff contender! Sure you have those great Finals teams of '97 & '98, but it's a fact that True Jazz Fans feel closer to the old note logo than they ever will with the mountain identity they adopted in 1996-97.We're attacking the color palette, not the logo package...We've moved on.Regardless of the logo or the colors, it?s same thing when you?re throwing that whole ?Utah Symbolism? crap in there.Wasatch doles out superfluous exclamation points like an old man giving butterscotch candy to his grandkids. Everything is presented with a slightly disingenuous unbridled enthusiasm.And you make me guffaw with your overbearing sense of pomposity! Go ahead and point out where I was inaccurate with my previous statement; or we can get over it and back on topic. Nobody really cares if we don't care for each other.

Discogod Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Anyone else miss the days when teams would use bright colours? Like back in the late 70s/early 80s, when teams weren't afraid to slap a fudging great rainbow across the front of the jersey. I'm not advocating a move back to the ultra-garish sublimated designs of the 90s, but this use of darker tones (and not just basketball - it's happening across the sports spectrum) is getting me down.

BBTV Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 How is that alt logo even possible? How can the LA be in front of the C, but the shadow is behind it, without the C having a shadow? Am I missing something or is this just wrong? "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Am I missing something or is this just wrong? That brings me to a thought that popped into my head earlier today. Has there ever been a case where a team has released a new identity package, caught some flaws in their files, and then made the changes under the radar for the next season?

They fixed it before the start of the season.There's a thread on here about it, but I'm too lazy to look for it again. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 The clippers blue & red got darkerNo, they're the same shades. The discrepancies are due to Illustrator's poor conversions to RGB. Especially that older logo, which used those incredibly outdated 'CVC' (computer video-coated) Pantone swatches. Note to designers: STOP USING PANTONE CVC AND CV LIBRARIES. THEY WERE DISCONTINUED IN 2000. THEY SUCK. THEY DON'T ACCURATELY PORTRAY COLORS IN RGB, OR CMYK FOR THAT MATTER. JUST STOP. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GET THE LATEST SET OF PMS AND GOE LIBRARIES AND JUST USE THEM INSTEAD. THAT IS ALL.Anyway (*ahem*), here is the previous logo RGB-optimized: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Then the C should be casting a shadow as well.No it wouldnt. The gray LA wouldnt be a shadow. There would just be three elements: The two LA's, and the C sandwhiched in between. WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
