Logo for Basketball Team Fan Site

Zev Iosupovici

LakersGround is the premier online community for fans of the Los Angeles Lakers. The current logo is getting long in the tooth so I've decided to whip up something new.

Goals:
-Purple & Gold as the primary color palette
-Work equally well on dark and light backgrounds
-A wide version (for the website header) and a stacked version for shirts, etc.

I like them all but only one of them can make the coveted website spot. Still I'd like to offer at least two as T-Shirt options (one of the versions with purple "Lakers" and one of the versions with gold "Lakers".)

Any comments or critiques would be very appreciated. (Even from Celtics fans ;)

I like the long horizontal designs the best. The first one I suppose. But it may not work on a white background.

Have you tried making the stroke on the letters bigger?

The two font choices are too similar to contrast but different enough to feel wonky next to each other. I would stay with one or choose a second that provides true contrast. Otherwise, I like the oblique, lining versions for their suggested movement and ability to fill the top of a web page layout. But the stacked versions perhaps will offer a bit more versatility. Go Raptors!

Backgrounds matrix:

I still need to decide which of the first two (Purple Lakers) and which one of the next three (Gold Lakers) I should go with. Black is probably the most important BG for them to look good on, white next, with gold and purple last.
