Fonz, Wilbon called the logo stupid and brought up the rant. I still like a basketball in the middle within a 3D dimensional pinwheel.
Can you place a basketball in the middle and make the pinwheel tubular. The present and proposed logo looks one dimensional.
I honestly wouldn't have been too happy if they went with a "look what sport we play" logo like half of the league.
21/30 teams have a basketball on their logo. Memphis, Milwaukie, Atlanta, Denver, Chicago, Houston, Golden State, San Antonio and Portland are the 9 who do not.
Rule Number One for Blazers marketing: Don't ruin the pinwheel. Fuck you Wilbon. I hope you're next. If I had twitter I'd tell them their ignorant opinion regarding our logo illustrates why their company is going out of business.
To make it more like the original, I would take the new logo and flip it vertical. That would be a nice throwback to ye-oldie days with an updated style.
Hmm so that design, which I think is amazing btw, is part of the brand identity... so a "secondary" logo it would seem.
