NBA Logo Contest 

Post#1 » by semi-sentient » Wed Dec 2, 2009 10:05 pm

Well, not really a contest, and maybe a dud of a thread.

I thought it would be kind of funny to create some NBA logos with various players and thought some of you might have some contributions or ideas of your own (for your favorite player, or just a funny moment that you remember).

The criteria is to use the NBA logo color scheme (can be vertical or horizontal orientation) and a recognizable image of the player so it doesn't take too much to figure out who it is (you can post the name of the player if you like).

Here are a couple that I did a while ago, and I've got some other great ones in mind such as Shaq after the lob from Kobe against the Blazers in 00, Iverson sitting at the podium explaining "practice", Jordan after hitting the shot over Ehlo, Mutombo's finger wag, Kobe crying with Vanessa at his side, etc.

Anyway.

Oscar Robertson (legendary photo of him getting a rebound)

LeBron James (flop against the Wizards in the post-season)

I like it.

I don't know if I can create any myself, but I like the idea and look forward to seeing some more.

In lieu of the cool Big O rebound picture, how about one with the famous Dennis Rodman horizontal rebound picture?

I like the thread idea, but have no idea how to go about making one of those.

Can you make one of those silhouette ones with this picture?

I think it would be hilarious.

Are you on the Chris Creamer logo forum? Lot's of guys do logo concepts there.

Oscar's looks good.

^^^ Hahahaha. It might be worth adding in a 'Where _________ Happens' line so you can tell what the silhouette is supposed to depict.
