Xist2inspire Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 ...the San Antonio Stars.http://www.hoopfeed.com/content/2014/01/14/san-antonio-gets-jersey-sponsorship-launches-rebranding/Old:New:Even though I like the new logo much better (except for the fact that the star seems to have been changed to a spur for some reason), I'm not a fan of the name change at all. "Silver Stars" just felt better and more unique. "Stars" is as generic as it gets (sorry, Dallas), and the WNBA has enough problems with generic identities as it is. Tradition is the foundation of innovation, and not the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FALCON6 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I agree. silver stars was one of those wow me names. Gotta say, both logos aren't the best though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xist2inspire Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 That spur at the bottom drives me nuts. Was it really that hard to put a star there instead? Tradition is the foundation of innovation, and not the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NatsFan2004 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Honestly, I like this a lot better. I always found Silver Stars to be a mouthful and that the old logo was unnecessarily hard to read. Major upgrade IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 That spur at the bottom drives me nuts. Was it really that hard to put a star there instead?It's a star that looks like a spur. Given that they're in San Antonio, I give em bonus points for this feat. I don't get what you're complaining about. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFuture Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I like the new logo a lot. In fact, it's better than the Spurs' logo. Replace the "tars" with "purs" and I could easily see the Spurs adopting it, especially since there is a spur-like star in the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nas1787 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 ^ For what they are, those Starzz logos are actually pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatsFan2004 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Starzz, because it's the 90s and jamming extra letters in team names makes them EXTREME TO THE MAX!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Actually I think it was connecting to Jazz. Most the early WNBA team names tied to their NBA counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get what you're complaining about.I dunno why it bugs me. Maybe because since they've changed to just "Stars," I find it odd that they used a spur/non- traditional star rather than a clean-cut star like the one in their original logo. To me it's like a team calling themselves the "Diamonds" and using a square-shaped jewel for their logo instead of one of the common shapes associated with diamonds. Other than that design choice, I have no problems with the logo at all, and think that it's an improvement from the old one. Tradition is the foundation of innovation, and not the enemy.

Yes, but Jazz is an actual word. 'Starzz' is made-up gobbledegook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
