A little harsh, no?

Love the logo, but not sure if it will serve our purpose. Because the talks of a rebrand is to strengthen our identity as a team and for people to take us more seriously, the cartoon route might be counter-productive.

I actually think this logo would work really well for a Triple-A baseball team, as it has that overall look and feel of it. Almost reminds me a bit of the Las Vegas 51s logo.

I had done up a Canadian Flag a while back where the individual leaves transitioned in to the clawed look. If you dropped the bottom of the leaf to look like a basketball and the top half to be the leaf/claw it could work well as a logo.

Yeah, if we stay with the Raptors name, I would prefer this look over anything else. Just red and white. Can't get any more Canadian than that. Also, very clean looking. Has an elegant look, but also makes me think of stormtroopers for some reason(which is awesome in itself). I don't really wear basketball jerseys, or any jerseys for that matter, but these look nice to me. Could sell well I think.

I think the top of the Raptor's head needs to be less rounded and the face has to show more depth. On the right track though I feel. If you're going to take away the advantage of the side view for showing off the structure of the Raptor skull, you're going to have to at least try and make up for it.

I believe it can be done. There are a lot of creative people on here. It's impressive.

I think if you can get a 3/4 angle of the raptor head, exaggerate the size of the eyes and then put the skyline in the eyes it could work. The CN tower being the vertical it could look great.

Sorry.

Another option is to take the claw on the basketball logo, update the claw to the Turok image on google that's holding the ball but simultaneously work in the Toronto Skyline on the Basketball as well.

I may work on this idea if i get some time later this week.

Dude STFU.

Is it really so f*cking hard to show a little class? The guy worked hard on this and is willing to expose his work to comment and criticism.

Its just as easy to type something that isn't completely disrespectful and dismissive as it is to type what you did.

Try to incorporate the city's skyline and the claw alternate logo.
