    I like it. The only small detail I'd change is the bottom of the R. I don't like the R "lifting off".

    Its odd for a logo to only have one color? Seems odd to me. But I still like it

    looks like a communist symbol

    okay maybe not. it does have a Chinese look to it though.

    Personally, I don't like it. It looks flat, and I don't like the font. Not very sporty or strong- looking.

    This is the thing. In my opinion non rockets fans aren't going to go out of their way to buy that. If I want to look cool I'm not going to buy that logo. So it's really a poor job in my opinion. If 300 billion chinese people like it. Then you have something. But I doubt that's the case.

    Looks kind of boring. But boring is good compared to the old ones.

    Feels good to say the "old" ones.

    Actually, it looks kind of morbid...

    The ladies in the office here say it looks like the Buffy the Vampire Slayer logo.

    holy crap...

    look at the logo...

    [​IMG]

    then look at this picture...

    [​IMG]

    on the logo, did you notice the placement of the red semi-circle around the rocket. also, did you notice the placement of the gray circle around omega supreme's rocket?

    coincidence? i think not ;)

    by the way, the new logo sucks. too skimpy. i want my rocket and teeth back.

    This is only the logo. Wait till the uniforms come out. If the uniforms look tight, non Rockets fans will buy it. Corpuscle (sp?) red and platinum are unique colors.

    But boring is more likely to become classic (Yankees, Cubs) less likely to become annoying (like the Rocket w/ teeth)

    I like it. Looks simple and clean.

    You're right, it kinda resembles a Chinese character. I'm willing
    to bet that Yao Ming had a huge influence on it.

    Don't know if this worked but I think it would look better with a net attached to that circle. Just something to signify it's a basketball team

    It's cool.

    Hey, a lot of us wanted simple and clean, so...

    But the best news of all:

    NO MORE "WHAT DOES THE LOGO LOOK LIKE?" THREADS!!

    That alone is worth a celebration. ;)
