    It's less cartoony than the last couple logos ("Dildo" with teeth and the "pizza pizza" guy with a rocket pack.) I think it's the begining of a new type of fad. Right now it's all about the retro, but the Rockets are one of the few teams looking toward the future rather than the past. With it's simple and sleak look, I'm sure in time it will grow on everyone.

    It makes sense considering this is supossed to be our year, with a new coach, building, Yao, and uniforms. Here's to the future.

    I think it looks pretty cool. It seems like they could have came up with some thing a bit more creative, but it'll work. Anything is better than our old cartoon rocket with teeth.

    Yeah, the Toyota logo is growing on me. At least it is simple.

    I think a lot will depend on how it looks on the unis.

    I like it.
    Its not incredible or anything but I think it looks very nice. Hey smokey, I like the exhaust trails.

    It all comes down to the unis, but we still have to wait a while for them.

    I don't know what all the fuss is about. I think this logo is simple. Less is more.

    I've showed this logo to friends in NYC, Dallas, ATL... they all like it.

    I'll hold out till I see the uni's...this is just the logo....maybe it will only be on the side of the shorts or something with something different across the front......we'll see.

    It's started growing on me. Kinda has a Jetsons/Retro-Future vibe.

    I like it, clean and understated, a capital R (and H) zooming through the cosmos, destination: Playoffs.

    some pro sports logos look ridiculous, while the uniforms look nice... it's all about the unis and how the logo works on it

    That's really terrible looking. I thought it was supposed to look 'timeless'... at best it's retro, at worst it's crap. yucks... Can't wait to see the uniform.

    I wish they wouldn't hype this 'super secret' design crap... it'll only blow up expectations.

    I think that the logo is OK...it's not the best thing in the world but it's ok...but i don't know I just can't see it looking right but i hope that they look great on the unis...b/c if not i know that some fans will go on STRIKE! and I'll be there protesting too!

    It doesn't matter b/c we have to live with it anyway.

    It does look better than the last one.
