AndrewPF Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I've stumbled upon an article highlighting the evolution of every logo in the NBA. I'm well-aware that we have access to a database full of logos (hell, the logos within the article are sourced from the Mothership), but I thought the written piece was interesting, and I thought it was neat seeing all the logos presented seamlessly all in one place. What are some of your favorites? I've always liked the 1981-93 Denver logo. I think it's definitely unique and I like it aesthetically as well. I don't think I'd ever noticed that 1962 Golden State logo before. It definitely reminds me of the logo of South African soccer team Kaizer Chiefs FC. Staying on Golden State, I think that their current logo is a thing of beauty, a fantastic update to the iconic "The City" mark.The Evolution of NBA Team Logos http://i.imgur.com/4ahMZxD.png koizim said: And...and ya know what we gotta do?

mjrbaseball Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 It is missing the Denver Rockets logos (pre-Nuggets) as well as the Spurs previous incarnation as the Dallas / Texas Chaparrals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illwauk Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Can someone remind me why this isn't Philly's primary logo?Apparently there's a rule stating all primary NBA logos have to contain the teams' nickname and locale, hence the awkward border around the current version.

BBTV Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Can someone remind me why this isn't Philly's primary logo?According to some, there's a rule (or at least a strong suggestion) that new primary logos need to include the city name as well as the team name, so teams make primaries to comply, while their secondary becomes the de facto primary.

TornadoGTS Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Pacers?Pacers & Wizards are the only ones that dont have the city in their primary, but I think the point is that is has to have a wordmark of some sort, can't just be the Pacers P or Bulls' head for example.

Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

It's weird looking, and it being a different color than "6ers" makes it stand out (not in a good way) even more. It looks like two ribbons. See below, Chun-Li's hair things. As I'm typing this response, I also see how drastically different the fonts are; a sharp 7, and a rounded 6ers. Sticks out like a sore thumb, now more than ever that I analyze it.

LEWJ Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 They also had this logo at some point, with a slightly different "6". Matches the "7" better, but that's about it... | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
