Saint Zephyr III Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I...like it. It's a bit minimal but it at least seems like they're trying to build a brand just as much as an identity. But I can't really judge until I see what they do with the uniforms. If they just rip off the Spurs, I'll be VERY displeased but I could see them using pinstripes for some reason...

gyrocol Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The Nets will become internationally known as long as Jay Z is at the helm and pimping the brand through his empire."The Nets could go 0-for-82 and I'd still look at you like this gravy", and so on. Soon he'll be wearing the Nets logo and putting it on Rockawear gear, and it'll be a hit. Very lucrative.Case in point - they've been selling black-and-white "HelloBrooklyn" T-shirts at the Manhattan NBA store, and the entire stock was soldout in a span of one day.Apparently many people didn't even know that those shirts had to do with the Nets. The Brooklyn brand is just that powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generic Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I find the text they chose holds the logo back. It looks awkward how the shield is not running along where the text is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvrdgsfn Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 My $0.02 on a fix to the logo (plus a partial logo). Seems like some consensus among people is that the "B" needs to be memorable, a 3rd color needs to be added, and the city name needs to be present. I also added a slight nod to the crenelation of the Bridge.Now that is solid work my friend. I wish that the Nets were using that instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 A quick paint job gave me this (which I think is a lot better then what came out):1) I think the dark blue ball on brighter red background looks odd. It has a photo-negative quality; the seams of the basketball should be darker than the panels. 2) You can't have that "B" - it's spoken for. But you've got the right idea - something that can stand on its own. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCdog Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 A quick paint job gave me this (which I think is a lot better then what came out):Honestly, I would be ok with this in Black & White. Just wondering - We've already seen Miami with Black on Black. If NBA Properties could approve that without any worries over visibilty, I think with Jay-Z/Rocawear collaboration for BK Nets, we could see White on White (White Jersey, White Lettering & Numerals, thin Black outline) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 i think the logo looks flat and adding a net (finally) which is the team's name would make sense as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Reminds me of the OKC generic uniform logo they had before the "Thunder" nickname arrived.My thing is...let's be honest, it doesn't take a lot of work to create the actual design presented here. A lot of brainstorming, options, and other behind the scenes marketing went on...I understand that...but how much does an organization really pay for something that, in the end, could be created in 5 minutes in Illustrator?Honestly, it was probably free, since it was basically funneled through the Rocawear creative dept., but that opinion is really disappointing to hear from a talented designer. If you can explain to me why something has to look like it took hours, days or weeks to create in order to have real value as a design, I'd love to hear it. Comments like this really devalue our profession, in my opinion. In fact, I'd argue a design that looks like it took less time to create, one that looks like there was less construction involved, is often a great solution, even better than a complex solution that looks like it took a lot of time, effort and focus to create, and I think I'd be backed up by some of the greatest people ever to call themselves designers on that assertion. Design at its purest form is about doing more with less. Something that looks easy to make is direct and comforting. It's familiar. There's a lot of work that goes into properly constructing and refining a simple logomark like a B inside a shield, but just because you can't tell that from looking at it doesn't mean it's an inferior design that's worth less than an illustrative logo like what they have now.Hey! I designed that shirt (the bottom right one with the BKLN subway tile mosaic). Glad to see it in a store. I haven't even seen it in real life. I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 1) I think the dark blue ball on brighter red background looks odd.

But you've got the right idea - something that can stand on its own.Agreed. When adidas was still working the project, the main focus (at least for me) was creating a unique but conservative B with an accompanying typeface. Black and gold was also coincidentally the color scheme they were pushing hardest. A lot of people are running with that scheme in this thread.
