I am still very curious to see whether they cut out the physical claw and the Dino because the Grand scheme is to leave the Dino behind... All it really is; is a ball with a claw mark. I still strongly believe there will be another logo unveiled. Far too much hype and excitement for this to be it for the logo, like I'm sure the jerseys are great but the logo is the first th9ng that identifies your team, I'm sure there is more to this.

That said, I actually like this a lot better than the previous version (three claws above the basketball), which never had good balance to me: too much empty space inside the logo. This is a much tighter design.
I like the choice of type; the classic 'athletic' font where all curves are changed to angles. (I was once told that this type of font was originally used for name and numbering on sports jerseys because the angular font was much faster to sew than a font with a lot of curves). And no, it's nothing like the hipster font that Brooklyn uses; it blows my mind that anyone would even suggest these are similar fonts.
There's nothing amazing here, but it's not dreadful either. I get that they're trying to still reference dinosaurs but get as far away from cartoony as they can, hence something flat, one-colour, angular, simple. And I think they found a good concept for that, but there's something a little 'off' in the execution. I'm looking forward to seeing the whole uniforms.

All this hate is hilarious because all the haters are still going to rock it.
The claw was basically the best logo in basketball. They could have kept it forever imo.
The fan design with claws on it is a huge improvement from the bland redesign but I doubt MLSE/Sid Lee has the humility to accept that they screwed up. It's tracking at 2-1 dislike to like right now, can't put lipstick on a pig.

I don't know, I don't like how there's the real claws then the claw marks. Sorta looks like the claw's just gonna fall through the ball haha, but I do like the idea of incorporating real claws into the logo and using those colours.
