I like these logos:

 

I like:

 

That hawks logo is dangerous. It also can look like a broke ass Pacman or half eaten piece of wheel cheese.

 

I'm a fan if the Warriors and Bucks logos over the years.

 

ROFL. You are so right, wtf!?

Like Pacman been smoking too many marb reds and is coughing up a lung.

 

Simpler is better. Just looking at current: Spurs, Heat, Brooklyn.

Rockets should lose the "Houston Rockets" part and just go with the R and the swirly thing. I kind of like the Pelicans, but a version without the "New Orleans" part would be good.

 

Yes, this old Atlanta Hawks logo. But why print "Atlanta Hawks" under it? Just go with the logo. Same with the Heat.

 

There are a lot of silly logos out there but I liked all of the 76ers over the years.

 

Surely not the Pistons soup can man.

 

Good list.

 

They could do the same with the Sonics logo if the NBA brings a team back to Seattle.

 

That is one of the best but I think we have a couple lifetime achievement awards here for silliness in the Nuggets various logos and the Raptors for never having anything but a silly logo since inception.

 

I almost added this one to my list - I'm trying to parse out whether it's nostalgia, or whether I actually like the logo enough to consider it one of the best. But yeah, it would be stronger without the lettering (ditto Hawks).

 

I really like how few "extreme" names there are in the league. Shit like the expansion teams - Raptors, Grizzlies, Timberwolves, Bobcats, Thunder - is just corny. And Magic/Wizards is beyond corny! I hadn't really realized how many team names are esoteric or just plain representative - some of the better ones:
Celtics
Nuggets
Pistons
Pacers
Clippers
Lakers
Bucks
Knicks
Trail Blazers
Supersonics
76ers
Jazz

 

I love the use of a cityscape in logos, when done right I think it's a home run. The basketball encompassing the city also carries strong symbology. I think it's a solid logo.

 

I actually love that basketball/city-scape (sans lettering) Sonics logo.
