In 2004, the Cavaliers logo was a red basketball, the wordmark of “Cleveland Cavaliers” on top of the basketball in white, with a gold sword piercing through the bottom right of the basketball to the “C” in “Cavaliers.” A slight change was made in 2011 as the cavalier sword was turned to a lighter gold, and the outline of the logo is lighter gold as well. Squares of blue, white, red and yellow ethylene propylene diene monome (EPDM) rubber – a synthetic material commonly used on floors for sports – have been added to the court.

Even though yellow and blue can result in more than one color, that’s not the same for every mixture. Mixtures like red and yellow always make some type of orange. So, it all depends on what colors you’re using. Additive color mixing is very different than subtractive mixing because it involves adding different colors on top of each other rather than mixing them together. It’s usually only used for colored lights and digital graphics. Understanding Light Mixtures The club changed its name to Golden State Warriors in 1971, redrawing its blue and yellow emblem. The new concept comprised a bold yellow circle with the blue contour of the California state and a solid blue five-pointed star on it. The inscription was placed around the badge, with the “Golden State” arched above and written in a fancy wild-west style, and the “Warriors” in a modern sans-serif arched under the badge. 1972 — 1975

The original logo, introduced in 1946 for Philadelphia Warriors, was composed of a simple yet funny image of a Native American man executed in purple lines and a yellow basketball. The script diagonal “Warriors” inscription is placed over the image and balanced by a yellow feather in the man’s hair. 1951 — 1962 The Spurs were once the Dallas Chaparrals. Their first logo in 1967 was a blue bird dribbling an ABA basketball. In 1967, the New Jersey Americans logo is a red, white and blue shield, with a red, white and blue basketball in the center and “N.J. Americans” spread across the top of the shield. There are three white stars on each side of the shield.

In 1976, a slight change was made to the logo with the circle gone and “Denver” being in red and “Nuggets” being in blue with a unique font.

In 2019 the color palette of the logo was switched to a darker and a more intense one, and the typeface of the inscription was changed to a more modern and sleek serif with softened curves and playful elongated streaks. Font The changes to the next logo in 2010 are minor. The team got rid of the light blue and instead have “JAZZ” in white with a yellow trim. The mountains and basketball are dark green with “UTAH” being white inside of the ring at the top. The final Washington Bullets logo in 1987 is a similar concept to the previous logo, except “Washington” is removed, there is a different font for “Bullets,” and the hands look ready to grab the basketball, which is red again with white seams.

The original Hornets franchise was founded in 1988 as an expansion team and unveiled the logo of a teal colored hornet dribbling a basketball with a lighter wordmark “CHARLOTTE” on top of the hornet with “HORNETS” at the bottom. The Detroit Pistons were not always the Detroit Pistons. They were once the Ft. Wayne Zollner Pistons, in which the first logo was an animated character, who appears to be made out of red cans going in for a layup. The new design of the logo featured a gray can man with a “Z” on his chest dribbling a basketball. In 2005, the Pacers logo underwent slight alterations with a gray outline around the “P” and the basketball appearing more gold than yellow. The team changed its name to Chicago Zephyrs in 1962 and spelled out “Zephyrs” in gold with a light-blue trim as its logo.News about our Dezeen Awards programme, including entry deadlines and announcements.
