New Alternate Magic Logo Idea
TrueMagicFan07 replied to TrueMagicFan07's topic in Orlando Magic Forum
JMF, I tried some of your suggestions. I designed this logo with Photoshop Elements 11. I bought the software years ago. It's an outdated program. So, maybe someone else has software that can display a more sophisticated font. - Yesterday

Danny Wolf, Michigan is gonna be a Magic player if we keep our picks. He’s not talked about too much as a first rounder, but he’ll end up as a 1st round pick

New Alternate Magic Logo Idea
TrueMagicFan07 replied to TrueMagicFan07's topic in Orlando Magic Forum
Thanks, JMF. I appreciate the positive critiquing. I will try some of your ideas. I'm sitting here trying to recover from Covid. It was 2 weeks ago when I first experienced the symptoms. Never had it before. Plus the fact I had multiple Covid shots. Go Magic! -
It’s not necessarily Paolo and Franz he’s worried about, it’s their supporting cast who have a hard time staying healthy. JI unfortunately is aways hurt and so is WCJ. Suggs leaves everything out on the court every night and while that’s an invaluable contribution that also comes at a cost because he gets his fair share injuries as well. I do believe we are a very hard team to beat when we’re healthy but we still need a year or two of deep playoff experience to be considered serious contenders. However if KCP can start to consistently knock down those 3 point shots once Paolo and Franz return that’s going to open up the floor for everyone else and give other guys confidence in their shot as well. If we can stay healthy and make a deep playoff run this year we could fast track our championship window and be considered serious contenders by next year. Just need our young guys to continuing developing and playing team basketball while our front office continues to find ways to improve the roster and ultimately bring a championship to this well deserving fan base.

Undefeated all season at home be good haha
-
I'm not concerned about that. Paolo n Franz are sturdy. Strong.. Oblique is 1 off
-
One thing's for sure is I can't imagine we have our unbeaten home streak after this run. If we do I'll officially start "this is a championship team when healthy" talk.
-
With the Hawks win last night, we play the Knicks on Sunday at home. We have a 7 game home stand through the end of the year, our next road game is on New Year’s Day. I’m on Paolo watch now with the amount of time we have at home to rest and get some practices in. I don’t expect him Sunday, but the next game on Thursday against OKC feels like a possibility.
-
I know I'm late, but I wanted to share the good feelings about the growth of the group. When Paolo went initially down, we had a 4/5 game stretch that was really worrysome. After that we were good again, and Franz injury was a big blow. Reaction this time has been really different, and I hope that this experience will help them to grow to more responsabilities, and be even more ready when Paolo/Franz will be back. We'll need more from everyone, and hopefully also more passing and ball movement.
-
I think that's a good overall summary of how I felt as well.
-
Agreed. However I do think some of the problem, aside from Wendell's injuries, has been that his touches on offense go way down when Franz/Paulo (either or both) are in the game. It's hard to keep in rhythm offensively when you only touch the ball once in awhile. My biggest hope is that the kind of ball movement we've shown ourselves capable of at times doesn't go away when Franz and Paulo get back.

True
-
We also have to be able to stay healthy.
-
In the first half Cole was looking to set up his teammates and it was actually great. At some point though he reverted to mostly looking for his own shot and ignoring everyone else, and then he was bad. It was almost like flipping a switch.
-
Yes, and unfortunately the ball movement in the second half was not nearly as good as it was in the first half.
-
Loooooooool WE ARE THEIR.... I am speechless... give your head a wobble
-
"GM I don't like makes good move = luck GM I don't like makes bad move = terrible GM and not at all related to luck."
-
Looks like he is about to b traded. Could he fit in KCP place? He hasn’t done what we hoped
-
Pat Riley would demand too much; and he doesn’t really fit our timeline or our chemistry.
-
What would u all b willing to trade for him
- Last week

Our front office made some good moves. They have a vision and they stuck to it. So i want to agree with you but they still drafted Mo Bamba and ignored all the injury problem players we have. it's easy to look back and praise but there is always context. Their blind loyalty to players they pick is almost borderline crazy. The Vooch and Aaron trades happened because the two players they went all in on were hurt and unplayable(Futlz and Isaac, who is currently hurt again?????). So they got Lucky with the Bulls fleecing, the Gordon trade shows more on that side then ours....that GM runs the T-Wolves now. Choosin Suggs was a no Brainer the whole planet was surprised he fell to us and Wagner partial luck. So was Goga. They failed to get Hartenstein just like the previous gm failed to get Milsap. Get your heads out of whatever they are in, we are not there yet. A long time ago some Magic people drafted Shaq and Penny. How many championships does this franchise have? Nuff said Edit....look at the million moves the Celtics have made the last ten years! it's not all about drafting a few stars. When i was growing up the Bulls were the franchise that did this, it wasn't all MJ, they made brilliant moves! Double edit! The best thing the Magics front office did was choose Paolo. It was only ever Chet or Paolo and the whole world tried to get them to draft Smith. The Magics reputation was trashed thanks to Hennigan and mass media and the powers that be were trying to get Banchero to a better market. Haven't seen anything like it since the Clippers drafted the Candy man. Candyman was Jabari Smith in case your wondering

I like the overall design, but I would “tweak” a couple things. I would start with the third one, as I like the subtle white outline; and I would lose the “the” and just go with Orlando Magic. I would go with a more similar font for both, and maybe make the “O” and “M” a bit larger. Maybe keep the stars replacing the “A” in both? Not sure if that would be too many stars. Just some thoughts, but like I said, really like the overall concept!

https://www.zdf.de/sport/the-wagner-brothers This is the link to Mo and Franz 4 part documentary. I've just finished watching it and I gotta say I loved every minute. We are truly blessed to have the Wagner family in our organisation... The love they have is special... 2 top class players but even better humans Mum and dad are fantastic also. 1 or 2 things Mo said about Franz stood out.. that when Franz was injured at 13 or 14 years old they gave him some crazy regime to get healthy quicker and Franz followed every single detail to the t that Mo then knew his brother is a maniac level of wanting to play ball and be the best ever. It was absurd. Even being injured Franz turned up to the gym every single day to add something... even sititng down shooting etc...You'll have to listen Also seeing Franz cry his eyes out after the Cavs game 7 he knew his brother is going to come back with extreme focus and vengeance and he will bring us a a championship some day soon. He called Franz a master of the game. He wants to get better every single day. The love between them is special they r best friends.. Seeing the contract negotiations also was very enlightening... at 1 point during Mo 2nd contract with us.. Franz seemed like he was on the phone to management making sure we gave Mo what he is worth... Franz getting his 224 million contract on the phone to his mum and dad was special too .. he was overwhelmed .. so emotional. Also it's German so translate subs from German to English and choose the tv audio. 3 hours of fantastic watch

On national TV, on TNT last night and the way "we" played.....we opened a lot of eyes last night. Magic could be on national TV more often......we'll see.
