Alright, this may seened far fetched, but one day about 5 years ago when the announcement was made that the rockets were getting a new logo, I turned to my then roommate, told him what was needed was a fierce logo, a logo with a "little character". I jotted down my idea that very second and placed it on the refrigerator until they unleashed the new logo. 10 months later, VOILA, the new logo. I was so dang close! I should have been on that design team, or at least be on the next one. Well, throwing old crap away the other day, I came across the sketch I did and here it is...Was I ON or what?! Mine... theirs... ------------------ Whatever you want to do, you have to do something else first.
Uhhh, what does the giant fish/whale(?) at the bottom have to do with Rockets? You should take that to New Gallery -- they will sell anything! ------------------ Whitey will pay.
I clicked on this thread expecting something about S. Papert, but found something completely different. Mango ------------------ Get it right or just don't do it! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain and ....
I think that's a launching pad rather than a whale. The "mouth" is the tower, for example. It's just at a weird angle. ------------------ Houston Sports Board The Anti-Bud Adams Page
I can't decide which is funnier. The Rocket having arms, the rocket wearing a baseball cap, or the rocket having teeth? Oh wait, the teeth part was serious? ------------------
Well ya see it was all back when Rudy was talkin' about "Killer Instinct", does anyone remember that? Very serious stuff man! Actually, that was like "Say hello to my little friend" stuff from Scarface, more killer instinct. I thought it all out, I'm tellin'ya! ------------------ Whatever you want to do, you have to do something else first.
Maybe this is a good time for a good 'ol fashioned logo contest..... ------------------ humble, but hungry.
That's so cool. My brother and I actually sent a logo in a LONG time ago, when I was maybe 7. I wrote the letter, because I was the one who knew that Les Alexander owned the team, and he drew it. It was, I think, just a rocket on a launch pad with the flames and all coming out the bottom, but we thought it was a helluva improvement on the boring ol' plain jerseys. Of course, now I long for those back. They were classy, in retrospect. ------------------ "I don't want to join a club that accepts people like me as members."
