-kj Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 What's with the the weird warped effect on the lettering? That's my one problem with it. It makes the angles look off.

It makes the angles look off.That's the big one, but other problems include some extra, very unnecessary outlines and a font that looks very reminiscent of the Sacramento Kings, who also use a hefty amount black and silver.

That warp effect on the letters is my only complaint here because it doesn't match the flow of the star/spur which is streaking straight to the right and then the letters just seem to wave freely about.

Sodboy13 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Actually I think it was connecting to Jazz. Most the early WNBA team names tied to their NBA counterparts. It was part of a weird effort to make the double-Z a Utah "thing". At the time, there was the Jazz, the IHL Grizzlies, and the PCL Buzz. If that had held, we might have gotten the AFL Blazze. Given the current state of the AFL, there's an increasingly good chance we'll get the Utah Brazzers.

pcgd Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Yeah I didn't say it was a good thing, just giving the reasoning. I don't think it was "90's EXXXXTREME!!" as much as it was the whole ZZ for Utah thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 As GFB said, I don't get the effect on the lettering. It'd make more sense to just have it angled and not curving up on the left. It looks really strange that it follows the streak of the star, then curves upward for no real reason. It'd also look better if they just removed the extra outlines and maybe even switch the letters to silver or white. Overall, it's not terrible, but it's far from perfect.

You can argue partial credit for the NAHL (Junior A) team in North Richland Hills, the Lone Star Brahmas.Texas just has a big 'ole fetish with the star...
