With this concept, I tried combining different era’s of the Pistons logos into this design. I also tried combining a big car grill for the “Motor City” into the concept as well.

The overall idea was to represent the logo like a car badge, paying homage to the auto industry.
Ornamental features of the badge are cylinders that form the letters “D” and “P.” They wrap around the ball in a circular motion, implying rotation, just like a car motor. This also reflects the city’s residence to just keep moving through the hard times.
The Alternate Logo – The idea was to encapsulate a piston in basketball as the organization has never used imagery of a piston in any logos.
The Wordmark Logo – The blocky and rigid typeface represents the community efforts of rebuilding the city in contrast to the sleek car designs.

Detroit is known as “The Motor City”. Hence the name “Pistons”. I used i piston to replace the “I” and tried to make their current logo look a little more “automotive” if that makes any sense?
