TrueMagicFan07 675 Report post Posted February 9, 2016 Hi everybody, I have been working on this idea for a while now. It's a new Magic alternate logo idea. About half of other NBA teams incorporate a logo epitomizing ferociousness, grit, and tenacity. I think that it's time for the Magic to incorporate another alternate logo which would bring out a new attitude and a sense of what the team is all about (Carolina Panthers?). _______________________LOOK AT OUR TEAM -- LOOK AT THOSE FACES! :blush: _______________________________________NBA TEAM LOGOS MAGIC ALTERNATE LOGO IDEA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

~O~ 565 Report post Posted February 10, 2016 Well in terms of history, the dragon is a chinese symbol in the modern day. If the Magic want to relate their brand to myth, fable, and folk tales, their logo should be Paul Bunyan. Screw the epic of Gilgamesh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike1989 68 Report post Posted February 13, 2016 Creative work and I like the idea, however I don't think the logo makes much of a difference. Only two teams have won a championship since 2000 with a ferocious logo, the 2004 Detroit Pistons and the 2011 Dallas Mavericks, though the Pistons changed their ferocious logo in 2005 back to a basketball type logo. But aside from those two teams the rest of the teams logos were similar to our own: 2015 Champions 2014, 2007, 2005, 2003 Champions 2013, 2012, 2006 Champions 2010, 2009, 2002, 2001, 2000 Champions 2008 Champions Granted the 1990s were dominated by the Chicago Bulls and their ferocious logo with six championships, but that team would have won championships if their logo was a Bull dressed as a ballerina. For me, I don't think we need to change our logo or do anything drastic because the look we have works. It manages to take the team name "Magic" and use a classy looking logo, that doesn't look corny. Could we incorporate the dragon? Sure, but it would need the team to rebrand and I'm not sure that's really needed because a new look doesn't bring success. What brings success is a well constructed roster, combined with good coaching. But creative work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magicman28 295 Report post Posted February 13, 2016 I've always wanted to incorporate a dragon into our logo. I'd welcome it as long as it isn't corny. The designs here are pretty decent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But aside from those two teams the rest of the teams logos were similar to our own: Mike, first thanks. When I used the terms "ferocious", "grit", etc., I really went a little overboard trying to sell the idea of a third new ALTERNATE logo. I was just trying to grab attention. I know by sporting a ferocious logo does not guarantee a championship, but there is nothing wrong with adding another look to the team's name "MAGIC". . .and why not a magical dragon. I also want to clarify what I meant by an ALTERNATE logo. 1. The dragon logo WOULD NOT replace the current logos. 2. The dragon image could be used on the players' warmups (shoot around, etc.) 3. It could be used from time to time (promotionally) on websites, fans t-shirts or jerseys. There are so many possibilities without doing away with the current logos. 4. Maybe display it somewhere in the Amway Center, but not to take away from the current logos. The teams that you and I mentioned that have those ferocious logos do not use them on their in-game jerseys, but you do see them in advertisements or on sports websites and on TNT or ESPN (tv). ______Orlando City Soccer___________________Orlando Magic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
