The real problem with this is that it does look like it could be a parody. The Helvetica tweet campaign, even more so.

The guy can rap. Why would branding or architecture be any harder?

The Nets logo seems like its still in the BW concept stage. Where are 29 other options?

Is it an optical thing or is that "B" not centered correctly? Center that fucking B!!!
- i think it's an illusion because the lines in the bball are heavier on the rightjayliquori

The main reason I think it's bad is that the concept lacks originality and creativity. It's a basketball. For a basketball team.

if the Timothy Morris ones are the rejects, why does it look like the same ball?
- bottom right two from second image abovealbums
- because its a basketball?ian
- it looks to be the same ball precisely like they took his ball from a comp or his or bought his ball?albums
- Yeah they might be the same ball, but these logos are different from the final logo. Not sure I understand your point.CanHasQBN
- I'm just wondering if Jay-Z did actually make this from the designers assets based on his wife's suggestion is all. ;)albums
- Oh. I think he's the one who actually executed the final logo. So he just used the same ball.CanHasQBN
- I dunno. I'm confused.CanHasQBN
- if you were paid to make unused comps how would you feel if they made something else from them?albums
- If I was paid? No, I would not have a problem with it if they ended up using some elements in the final.CanHasQBN
- I think that end up happening a lot in design. As long as you're paid for your work by the client, what does it matter?CanHasQBN
- it always stings a bit, i guess you can be optimistic they used something but i never enjoy the client revampalbums
- i think his stringy nets type is very nice as well.albums
- this just wreaks of the House of Deréion.

i think it will be very successful as a brand. design is not 100%, but i think it works, and will be well received by non-designers.

Is the idea to go retro on the design?
I kinda like the current logo.

I'm curious to see the original version - searches on google are swamped by the new versions.

Given the general state of sport insignia branding and the backdrop of his investment and the marketing thing, I'd say 'he' got it pretty bang on.
As much as I loathe the guy and what he represents, he's done as good a job as anyone of you pansy-ass fluffers would likely have, regardless of how clinically you choose to pick apart his efforts.
Good on him for proving to the world that any fool with a copy of Photoshop can actually claim to be a designer.
We exist in an awkwardly kindergarten industry, cosseted by the delusion that pompoous verbosity and pseudo-intellectual dissection makes it any more the grown up.
Our grandparents died in wars, people - pull your head out of your asses.

The NETS font looked familiar so I stuffed around with it.
Turns out it is a totally futzed up Geogrotesque. The horizontals are the Regular weight and the verticals are the Medium weight. The diagonals on the N and S have been accentuated a little. Looks like two of the round corners on the S have also been lost in the futzing.

On Tim's website, it says - Designed Official Brooklyn Nets Logo (to be announced this month)
Why does Jay-Z get all of the credit?
