The Nets logo, with its shield, basketball and B is about as inoffensive as it gets. They're clearly sticking to their design choices, but the design lacks any reference or meaning, the craft is poor and the result isn't somethign that feels as distinct as they clearly would like and doesn't give fnas anything to rally around.
Our new design extends and modifies a typeface that was literally made for the Barclays Center (aptly named Brooklyn), to a new logo that incorporates the Brooklyn Bridge and an aerial view of a basketball net. We tried to stay true to the clean aesthetics that the Nets set out for in their initial branding, but with more intentionality and a sense of place that their fanbase can rally around.
We added a secondary NETS-on-a-basketball mark inspired by some of their historic logos.
