From Joshua Setvin:

"I wanted to know why the Orlando Magic logo is so lame? I am a second generation and lifelong fan who just cannot get into the new magic merchandise all because of the logo. What ever happened to the stars and the basketball? I need more creativity in my magic gear. Until then I have to continue to buy retro magic everything."

Yeah, I agree the Magic logo is kind of plain. I miss the star a lot.

There was some rumbling from design heads that the Magic jersey might be due for redesign when the league makes the switch to Nike. And <checking my watch> it is getting close to time the Magic get restless and redesign their look.

But the logo? Yeah, I cannot say I am on board with it either. Stick to old school gear.

I remember when the Magic introduced the current iteration of the logo. I posited that it was a “mature” version of the Magic’s logo. Orlando as a franchise wanted something that could be a little more timeless and a little less cartoonish. But I understand that is not fun or stylized too. And I do not like it either.

Judging by the recent batch of new logos, the Magic will be redesigning their logo to be more circular to take up less space so an ad can go on their jersey.

Stay tuned…
