BrandMooreArt Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Call them the Toronto Skyline. They could incorporate all of those colors to make a really nice logo and uniforms.not keen on the name, but love that idea for the color palette GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAnna Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 How is Raptors outdated? It's a unique name which embodies a very ferocious reptile from way back in the day. Associating it with Jurassic Park is kind of a lame excuse for why it should be changed. You should associate it with the extinct reptile. If they do rebrand they should go with a more ferocious approach for their name. Bring in new meaner looking logos.ThisThere is simply no reason to change this team's identity at this point and the idea the franchise was named after a 90's box office draw is ludicrous. If they must be unique they could always add some minimal purple accents but honestly I see nothing wrong with what the team is currently wearingYea, so ludicrous that is was mentioned in the history of the Toronto Raptors on NBA.com (HERE). There is no doubt that the Raptors name was greatly influenced by the popular 1993 movie that just so happened to popularize velociraptors. Or was that just pure coincidence? <--hahaNow all that being said, the movie and dino craze came and went and the Toronto Raptors survived. Even though I really like the city utilizing their beautiful water skyline and having the team name, Toronto Skyline and having beautiful nightlife colors, I'm also ok with them keeping their current Raptors name. But they need a new look and a new logo.Well... I stand corrected. I had no idea the team name was influenced by the popular movie, guess if the Mighty Ducks could do it...If you think about it, it makes sense that a sports franchise would try to use the massive popularity of that movie to build around. Especially considering the year Toronto picked that team name. Even though their primary logo looks dated and cheesey, their alternate claw logo is perfect and clever. I wish they would build around that one. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just couldn't think of anything that fits that absolutely beautiful waterfront skyline. They should really focus on the possibilities of that picture. So many great deep colors.

The_Admiral Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 The dominant colors in that picture seem to be bright blue and light blue. So basically the 77-96 Blue Jays. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAnna Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 The dominant colors in that picture seem to be bright blue and light blue. So basically the 77-96 Blue Jays.I see shades of purple and blue (teal?) and so many others. Use black as the main background color and the rest of the colors really stand out. I would really like to see Toronto play off of this nightlife picture in the way the Miami Marlins reinvented themselves. I don't mean the Marlins new logo, but the way the new lively colors play off of the black. I like it, a lot. The Miami Heat "Hardwood Nights" jersey is another good example of how nightlife style colors look great on a black jersey. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffrey Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 When I think of skyline colours in a logo, the only thing that comes to mind is the Denver Nuggets "tetris" logo from the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of the new Marlins, the Heat's Hardwood Nights alternate, and even the Jazz uniforms of the past. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

CrazyAnna Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 So...Purple, black and Red? lol.lol i know, but also add yellow as an outline color. When done right, a primary black uniform with purple-blue/red-orange combo outlined with possible yellow could look nice given the right style and design.

The dinosaur logo is nowhere to be found. I recently went on a tour of the ACC and all things Raptors, from the entrance to their locker room to the promotional material, only uses the claw and the Raptors font. The website and the merchandise (mugs, t-shirts, etc.) are no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 So...Purple, black and Red? lol.Not sure if you're making fun of my post, but a change of identity doesn't necessarily need a total change of colors. And those are fairly different from what they use now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
