Raptors Rebrand Theory

[stooley]

Somewhere Nets fans are trolling & cackling hysterically.

kinda like the way i cackled on wednesday BABY

This just got tweeted by the Raps:



If that is the new colour scheme, looks like my prediction was true!!!!!!!

I also petitioned for the Red and Gold, so I'm quite pleased. Curious if they'll keep this one:


or just replacing this one:

[Bendit]

Why are they messing with the "Claw"?

This is unambiguous and speaks to "menacing" which is what I want the Raptors to be. They can incorporate all the circles and other peripheral shit ...but dont mess with simplicity and clarity.

Anyone could have made this logo in like a week if they put any effort. Really disappointed

[KeonClark]

Aaaaaaaand boom! Who are you man! ?!?

[TeamEd]

Ok. That looks sharp. Is that on navy?

[KeonClark]

It does look fresh as fuck i want thaf hat

[breakin_ankles]

I still think there will be another logo. Playing on the dino

[Mack North]

I think I'll buy up all the current "claw" gear I can... I won't be buying this new design for quite some time.

I mean. Is there any logo out there that is like, artistically complex?

That's not really what logo making is about, I don't think.

I don't think it's about the logo being cool, that doesn't really mean much.

It's about contributing to the team's brand.

All the most iconic logos are that way because of what they represent. It has to take on meaning and be part of a whole.

Expecting the new logo to be awesome and super cool is the wrong approach I think.

and that hat looks SICK

Good design isn't about artistic complexity, it's just about having that 'it' factor. That's why I like the Nets re-brand - simple, but very strong, and obviously the work of skilled professionals.

[TeamEd]

This is clearly one of those designs that look better in the flesh.

[Cody73]

Doesn't matter where you go.... everyone either likes it or hates it.

I dunno, the Nets unis are a little boring to me. And their mascot was brutal. I like this logo. We'll see.
