BlackBolt3 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 After seeing an exhibition game between the US and United Kingdom, I realized that British Basketball's logo is sub-par. So, I wanted to try to update it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelayedPenalty Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Looks Good!Ummm, ok.Why do none of the lines in the ball line up? I assume it's supposed to look like a Union Jack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdAstraKC Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 The white in the diagonal stripes still line up and cover the same space while the is off-centered and almost looks like shading. I thing you should try something closer to the way it is on the flag. I don't really get the pennant coming off the ball either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashcarson15 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Not any better really. Use a standard basketball, but just make the red flip sides when it hits the center of the ball. Make the white parts line up like in the Union Jack and then flip the red over to the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffinM6 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 How about this?You got it right this time. The one thing I'd like to see is the pennant say "Britain Basketball" instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohenj21 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Much better now, and I agree with Griffinmarlins that it should say Britain Basketball rather than British. Nice job. "Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdougfresh Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 It still seems painfully generic. There's no real sense of motion, and I'm not seeing the Union Jack reference very clearly. Look at the color balance of the flag. There's more red and white than blue, and it's obvious where the offset is. Not so much here.GB's current logo isn't great, but I can't really say this is all that much better. The 'tail' reminds me of an airline logo of sorts. I think you should work on the ball portion of the logo, and worry about the wordmark later. Let the ball portion of the logo speak for itself, and then go from there. The 'tail' seems like it was added to give a sense of motion or something of the like, but it feels superfluous to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tail will stay, but may be revised.('Cause I like it.) the ball may match the tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBolt3 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Gave ball a little more edge, while matching tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Interesting. Try thickening up the seams on the basketball to better match the Union Jack. Maybe you could still keep the seams curved but making them more dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBolt3 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Any thoughts about making it better? I was thinking about shading the ball and adding more motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
