The Miami Heat have what could be a perfect logo for their franchise. The logo is simple and makes complete sense.
With the concept I came up with, I tried creating a design that had a soccer style/basketball feel to the design. A badge of honor that ties in the city of Miami along with the Miami Heat.

There’s a reason the Heat logo is so simple, there isn’t much to do with the “heat” concept. After a few attempts I decided to update the flaming ball concept and try to fix these 3 things:

• The Heat lettering should be more integrated with the ball for a more cohesive design.
• The sharp blocky letters didn’t feel visually connected to the logo.
• The current red looks too maroon, and doesn’t look hot enough.

In the redesign, the slanted script lettering provides the motion instead of the ball flying through a hoop, and the brighter red and orange outlines adds a sense of real heat.

The flaming ball still works alone or with a hoop, but the primary logo feels more unified.

The Heat have only made minor tweaks and slight color changes to their logo. I wanted to keep it the same, but change it up more than it ever has at the same time.
