andrewharrington Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I wish they had incorporated the Brooklyn Bridge somehow. Its so recognizable, I think they could have came up with a nice subtle way to include it in the logo... maybe they thought that would be too much like Golden State's logo though.The Brooklyn Bridge is recognizable to people outside New York, but to people from Brooklyn, it's just that; a tourist attraction. Incorporating the bridge would have been terribly expected if you ask me.

andrewharrington Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Not a fan of the arial narrow font; I was almost sure they would try something cursive...The idea of using a script was almost immediately shot down by NBA legal because MLB vehemently defends its trademark on the Dodgers' script 'Brooklyn' and the NBA did not want to risk a legal tussle in any way.The type they've been using on the billboards is of the Akzidenz Grotesk family, by the way, not Arial.

Incorporating the bridge would have been terribly expected if you ask me.I don't know about that, but in any case, Brooklyn doesn't have all that many real icons. If only they were strong enough to use a mermaid...I still wish they'd incorporate a net in their logo - a chain net. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

IceCap Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Any net would be preferable, really. Is it so much to ask for the Nets to finally use a net?

Old School Fool Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Made a crappy edit in MS Paint...With added color, it's alot better. Either way, I figured we'd get something like this logo when we saw the shield preview. As stated somewhere in this thread, it only seems like a natural evolution of the previous logo.I'm calling the return of a grey jersey, too.EDIT: Holy crap, I just remembered what the New Jersey Nets logo reminded me of... the Kids WB logo!I always figured there was something familiar about the Nets logo, but I just now put it together. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 To be honest, I like the simplicity. The only thing that gets me is that the B needs to be able to stand on its own, and right now it isn't able to do so. I'm guessing that had to do with similar reasons regarding the script that Andrew discussed. Its different and is getting people talking, so it is doing its job.

DustDevil61 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 With a few re-colors coming on, I figure I'd put in my $.02. Added Athletic Gold to the color scheme, quick 'n dirty, as this logo is that simple:Gold Outline and Basketball:Gold Outline, White Basketball:Personally, I like the gold outline and basketball myself, but maybe a white stroke on the "B" in the first or a gold stroke on the second might help, as well.

NJTank Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Black and white are the problem this logo is plain, but that is not always a bad thing. Its the lack of color that sucks. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillS Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 A 3rd colour will definitely improve the logo by a large margin. My take: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
