New version of a primary logo for the Lakers.
It is very difficult to design a new logo for a franchise that is so historic. With that said, I tried to keep this logo simple, and as close to the “Lakers” homage as possible. The typeface “Lakers” comes from the original Minneapolis Lakers, the ball still used from the original Los Angeles Lakers logo. This logo also features the star, between the “L.A.” letters, to represent the city of Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles, California, that competes in the National Basketball Association (NBA). With teams like Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks, Washington Wizards and Toronto Raptors updated their logos in the past few months, I decided to work on an update version for the Lakers.
The current Lakers logo hasn’t changed much since the 1960/1961 season. Although the logo is very classic and well recognized, I still think an update is necessary.
The new logos I designed include some iconic elements that represent the city of Los Angeles. The shape of the primary logo is inspired by the Lakers championship banners. It also includes a star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a leaf from a palm tree. I also created all the letters in the logo, with inspiration from the iconic Hollywood sign. The secondary logo is simply a star and a basketball combined, while the inside lines shape the letters LA.

Concept logo rebranding – Los Angeles Lakers, NBA.

Again, this is another classic logo that need not be changed too much if at all. Since the name “Lakers” originated from Minneapolis and there are no lakes in L.A., I didn’t want to bring elements from their name into the logo. Instead, I added a star inside the “R” which I think encapsulates L.A. very well.
