Brooklyn Nets Logo Concept 

Post#1 » by funkatron101 » Tue Sep 4, 2012 11:53 am

I wanted to take a crack at fixing some of the issues many have with the Nets logo, as well as adding a few new elements.
Image
1. Placement of "Brooklyn": I feel this is a much better placement than the current logo.
2. The seemingly awkward spacing of the S in NETS: Chose a new font and tweaked the crest to better compliment each other.
3. Perspective of the ball in relation to the B: I feel this is a better perspective to accentuate the B, which should be the focus. It also gives it a more retro/throwback feel.
4. A Nets logo...with a net! I tried anyway. It's subtle and will probably get lost a bit when reducing (or even just with some monitors), but I feel it adds some depth and is appropriate given the team name.

I like your primary a lot better, I loathe the real primary they are using.

The rest are solid, but I like the real ones better.

Also want to point out that while the net backdrop is not very visible on screen, it is intended to have a gloss effect that will make it more apparent in certain light in printed applications.

Like VC said your primary is far better than the real primary logo. I hate the real primary logo for so many reasons but I love the real secondary logo. So overall a great job but the primary logo you designed is the only superior logo in my view so well done on that.

On a side note, I still think (as much as it would've anoyed the Jersey Nets and old skool Nets fans) think it would've been very good business and a huge PR move to remove Nets from the title and just be called Brooklyn. It would've been a huge statement about what the Basketball franchise is all about which is Brooklyn and help get the entire area behind the team without the stigma of losing that the Nets name really does bring.

Major soccer clubs only use the area they play in as their name without any need for a 2nd name to beef it up into a sports team. Huge teams like Liverpool or Barcelona are examples. Just imagine Brooklyn as the name and when talked about it would be like the logo says Brooklyn Basketball Club. It would set a benchmark and new way of looking at things in regards sports franchises in the US. Was just a thought

The feedback I got from other sites is that the B-ball (for lack of a better name) resembles the Bruins too much. I'll try a different angle for the ball lines.

UPDATE:

Image

1. Removed warp
2. Changed the font
3. Changed the ball lines to no longer resemble the Bruins
4. Lightened the net background, removed it for comparison.

Thoughts?

I like it better but something seems missing in regards the B in the ball still. Maybe its the cross line just above the B which is drawing my eyes away from the ball, just an idea to see how it looks but move the B to the centre of the ball more so that the B covers the connection between the arching line and the straight up and down line.

Just an idea

I did try that at first. For lack of a better description, it was lopsided and created unneccessary whitespace at the bottom and was too cramped near the middle.

Just take my word for it, this looks better. lol.

Two more...a bit more retro, with ties to their original stint in NY (the stars)
