JamesCraven Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 "OK, i was disapointed in the 'Rots' logo, so I did one for them."Keeping in mind all of the ABA logo requirements that I was forced to restrain myself to, I created the following:100 pixel size - CheckGoofy 306 panel colored ball - CheckBizzarre WordArt shaped wordmark - CheckGeneric JamnArt stolen logo - CheckConsistant line width where completely inappropriate - CheckMascot squeezing or otherwise molesting ball - CheckCity name tacked onto abstractly added semi-circle - CheckAll fonts available on Windows 95 default list - CheckGradient used where solid would have worked - CheckColor included in logo to clash with ball colors - CheckGlossy marks on ball, to look like a bowling ball - CheckUneven lopsided composition - CheckTotal, complete embarrassment to city, fans, players, and an affront to logo art itself - Check" You forgot to add:Completely B, B, S and S according to one JamesCraven-checkAs for the Rots logo, face it, it's rot-ten! (Note that I didn't say B, B, S and S!) "I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.My "Ron Mexico" alias is "Jon Tobago".

paynomind Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 wow.. I wasn't too far off...I just severely underestimated their use of needless gradients!Mine: TheirsLets give it the ABA checklist!100 pixel size - 1/2 Check.. it is small, but not that small. But the image on their website is chopped up into 37 pieces. Thats stupid!Goofy 306 panel colored ball - No! But it is picture eight times on their homepage!Bizzarre WordArt shaped wordmark - Check - what is with the brush script squuezed narrow?Generic JamnArt stolen logo - Check - thats a terrible dog.Consistant line width where completely inappropriate - Check! dog looks liek it was drawn with ink penMascot squeezing or otherwise molesting ball - No! Ball not pictured.City name tacked onto abstractly added semi-circle - No! Instead, city name outlined in white, in script, overlapping entire rest of logo.All fonts available on Windows 95 default list - Check. Well... maybe that Rots font isn't, but the city is.Gradient used where solid would have worked - Check, check, and more check!Color included in logo to clash with ball colors - No ballGlossy marks on ball, to look like a bowling ball - No ballUneven lopsided composition - Check! They COULD have put the arch over to the left, but no, it needs to be behind the dog, making the whole thing look like it would tip over.Total, complete embarrassment to city, fans, players, and an affront to logo art itself - Check!!
