4 Thunder Logos Better Than The OKC Thunder Logo

September 11, 2008

The Oklahoma City Thunder logo is out and, frankly, it’s a disaster…

OKC Thunder Logo

I’m no designer, but you can find a good breakdown of this logo’s flaws here.

Even an amateur eye like mine can see the text “Thunder” is really boring and the basketball looks like clip art. I saw this and I thought there must be better Thunder logos out there and, alas, there are. Here are 4 teams you probably never heard of who did a much better job than OKC (probably on a much smaller budget too):

I like what the Berlin Thunder has done here (several teams use this logo actually). The “Thunder” text is nice, eye-catching, and actually conveys the idea of thunder a lot better than the OKC logo.

Ok, so the OKC Thunder weren’t going to use a viking with a hockey stick, but at least Stockton used some creativity in their fonts. Come to think of it, that viking is pretty cool looking.

This one’s a little too amateurish for the NBA, but the lightning strike on the T is pretty cool. Replace “Frisco” with “OKC” and come up with a replacement background image and you’ve got a pretty good logo.

Remember the old WCW Thunder logo? The color scheme was perfect and really set an aggressive mood. Look at this logo, then compare it to the OKC logo and the OKC logo will make you want to go to sleep.

Well, at least OKC did a better job than this last one…
