    Hopefully this doesn't suck. I spent a decent amount of time on it and just finished. It's a new mural for my office wall, celebrating my favorite Houston logo ever.

    I have a thing for logos, and always have, so I wanted to make this. Somewhat Warhol style. Each picture is inspired by a different era of the Rockets, and then there are a couple tips of the cap to other Houston sports teams. All pictures were made based on a picture of the Dunkstronaut center court.

    Just thought I'd share. Feel free to give your opinion, love it or hate it.

    Looking really good!
    Besides the nice design, the Dunkstronaut also symbolises our team growth during the 23/24 season - our transition from the poor Silas-era into the upgraded Ime era.
    I read that this court design and uniforms will back this season, am I right? That would be great.

    Not sure if it's an "ode", but it's one hell of a mural. (what's the size, out of curiosity?)

    Supercool!!

    I try to suppress the memory that this clown owns the team. Then you ruin my day and remind me with garbage like this.

    Really cool. It's such a shame the Rockets haven't realised that this branding really is leagues beyond the team branding currently and we should adopt it full time going forward. Cool that the jerseys are back again this year, but I'd kill for them to swap the blue out for mustard and make that our new jersey direction tbh.

    The last two on the third row are my favorites enough to give Amy Adams, not the hot one, a stroke.

    I like the dunkman. If they negligently won't go back to the ketchup and mustard retros, I hope the Dunkman is the future.

    I'm glad you kept the little Rocket detail on the leg. That might be my favorite facet of the logo, is the call-back to the past. Nice work!

    My ode to the Rockets:

    The Astros are poor
    The Texans suck more
    Please be our team
    That knows how to score
