slapshot Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 This does go with what AH said... Looks like somebody slapped a bunch of different things together and called it a day.Btw apparently this is the guy who designed it: http://www.timothypmorris.com/He also did that bland looking "BKLYN" logo from a while back...Even his "transitional" Nets logos are weak.I guess it's just who you know.

SCL Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 That basketball is straight out of rec league, the NBA is badly in need of primary logo overhauls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is a block lettering Picaso.Tbh, though, after the big letdown Jay-Z & Co. dropped on their fans by holding a press conference just to say the name will be....the Nets! Did anyone really expect these guys to have the creativity to come up with something that wasn't this bland? Something tells me there's going to be a riot on Monday if this piece of garbage is actually unveiled as the rebrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krona Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 It looks like he used one perspective of the basketball on rotated or reflected it for each design. I would have said there was hope that it was minimalist and classy, but after seeing his work, it seems cheap and sloppy. This guy should stick to making fliers for raves and summer festivals.

StillS Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Im disappointed that Brooklyn name and some iconic part of that borough isn't in the logo. On top of it Nets script is too plain for my liking and B on top of the basketball looks a little awkward too. I get that they were going for the plain look with the logo but this looks closer to a 1st/2nd draft than a finished product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schlim Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 When I first saw this, I thought the 'B' was some notation in the design process, like a clumsily placed 'B' option, with the 'A' option located just out of frame.Twitter leakHoly crap..IF that's the real logo, it stinks...

aawagner011 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Looking at this a couple of times over now, I must say that there is NOTHING iconic or memorable with this piece. NOTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw11333 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I usually love simpler type logo's, but this sucks. I am guessing the real one will have a little colour in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaydre1019 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 And we thought the Thunder logo was generic....This logo isn't great but I'd say it's 10x better than the thunder logo. Which in some cases says "Oklahoma city" above "thunder" and then "okc" inside of a basketball with random colors around it and two stupid "bolts" going through it.This one is at least simple. And it doesn't look like they tried to hard l force anything. Underwhelming? Yes. Better than okc? IMO definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Wow. I don't know if it's necessarily worse than the Thunder's logo because it doesn't have arbitrarily drawn motion lines on either side of it, but this is just a colossal failure. The Thunder's logo blows, but they only had a few weeks to put a logo together. The Nets had two years to design something respectable and they came up with clipart trash. It is made even worse by them going with a black and white color scheme. Boring AND not original, since the Heat wear their stupid blackout alternates. On second thought, it's far worse than the Thunder logo considering the timeframe and the fact that the Thunder logo at least uses distinctive colors.Let's hope that this is just a really, really bad alternate logo and not the actual primary. Either way, it's not surprising to see a blunder like this come from a franchise which marketing strategy has been to let Jay-Z parade around and act as if he actually owns a significant portion of the team. "Hai fans! U should watch us cuz Jay-Z owns like 2% of the team n he raps n stuff. Nobody famous own the Knicks!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Twitter leakWell that's underwhelming. It's definitely not as bad as the OKC logo, but it's definitely lower tier on the NBA logo rungs.Hopefully the uniforms save it, but from what I've heard from people who've seen em, the unis will probably exacerbate the problems.
