So its basically this with whatever colors we like... I actually like it but I'm no design professional.

but it doesn't take a genius to see that black and gold isn't aesthetically pleasing… so you're an idiot with no taste for liking those colours...

again further exaggerating what I said to put yourself in the right when you said my design sucked but then liked the same design on the next page.

But I apparently hate picasso so what do I know

I'd like to see a cubist design of a Raptor

Couldn't care less.

Pet peeve. Sorry.

That's a false dilemma fallacy. We can have both sweet unis and a championship team. See: Spurs

"I'm thoroughly disappointed by this "rebrand""

"The epitome of missed opportunity."

So....do you think we are talking about the Raptors?

Nope.

This is a piece written in 2010 about the new logo of the Golden State Warriors.

http://www.underconsideration.com/brand ... #.VJSfssA4

That logo is now considered one of the best...or at least better...logos in the league.

THIS!

3 years from now when we're winning an NBA title, you'll love this logo.

Great logo.

that's why i'm inclined to trust the decision of a paid design team rather than a bunch of random fans… the same fans who years ago **** on the purple colour scheme, loved the red, now hate the red and want to bring the purple back… lol… and like i said, it's not even an ugly logo… does it look similar to the nets? yeah… that's the only issue i see with it… and that doesn't bother me that much… from a design perspective it's simple and effective… it's a logo not a freaking website banner… and tbh, i've seen people give compliments to wallpapers and realgm art posted on this board that was not so pleasing aesthetically… and yet, people seemed to really like it… so imo it doesn't really matter what all the fans think, nor should they be allowed to vote on something like a logo… because what they pick will probably end up looking a lot tackier than this one...

But the claw marks look like friggen Chilli Peppers bro...

This should be moved to the top of the thread. Deal with it. This is the logo. Patent put in. They won't put in the money involved (which is huge) and effort to re-do it no matter how many people hate it. This is the logo so y'all better get used to it.

**** it, scrap the whole thing

I just honestly don't know how a logo so visually similar to another team in the league got past the PR team.

ESPECIALLY the team that we lost to last year...

I really like this and think it'll look great on the unis:

It'll probably get rejected and or sued by the Brooklyn Nets for copyright infringement.

Ugh even worse when they are side by side.

Wow such a damn fail.

The logo would be good, if the Nets hadn't changed theirs and adopted the black & white before. I find it hard to understand how this gets approved, considering how similar it looks to a team in the same division. At least they should use Raptors traditional colours to keep the identity.

Any new logo has people who hate it, but in this particular case, the troubling thing is how similar it looks to a rival team and with the same colours as well. It's just bizarre. With that said, the "We the North" is a great theme and I that black was prominent on it, but to see it on these logos was shocking.

out of curiosity, why do you like the spurs logo? imo, it's a little plain and tacky… it looks like clipart to me… dare i say, it even looks like someone on realgm could've made it… that's not a shot at anyone necessarily, as much as i'm pointing out the fact that it's kind of hard to understand people's tastes in design...

Both of you guys take this to MSN or whatever but just stop doing it here. No one cares. If it continues there will have to be warnings.

Howard Mass.. I mean Rhettmatic has spoken!

Do you like the new logo?
