RUMOR: The new Golden State Warriors logo looks like this...
UPDATE 6/10/10: Here's the official logo and colors- New Golden State Warriors Logo and Colors are HERE
========================
GSoMer BritWarriorGSW revealed in his FanPost about his "Exclusive Evening with the Warriors" this past September that the Golden State Warriors would indeed be changing their logo/ jerseys for the upcoming 2010-2011 season. The new Warriors "look" is slated to officially drop during the 2010 NBA Draft on June 24, 2010. If you head over to Warriors.com or if you've received any of the Warriors mailings recently, it doesn't exactly take the services of Sherlock Holmes and Watson to figure out the coloring and lettering.
But what is the actual logo?
(This isn't it, but have a good laugh in Golden State Warriors to sport Alternate Golden State D-League Jerseys in 2010-2011)
There seem to be a bunch of leaks- see The Golden One's FanShot and GSoM friend KNBR's Damon Bruce just posted it on his Facebook page. (Add/ Like GSoM on Facebook).
Jump for a look at what is heavily rumored to be THE NEW GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS LOGO!

I like it
Did anyone notice that the blue in the logo is different from the blue on the Warriors wedsite? I hope that the blue on the wedsite is the correct blue because I like it better than the blue on the logo and it looks better. Hope i like the jerseys!

I think website is correct and leak a lil off. Possibly.
The reason I say this is the kings new watch has a dark gray instead of silver. There either updating their logo or the watch company is slightly off.
Also wonder if the watch company is off on the blue circle not lining up with the yellow or it’s slightly off on purpose. Which I doubt.

I love it
Only thing i would change is the font. Color and style, change it to blue and something more moderen
i’m not sure but I think we’ll know for sure on May 18th if thats our logo because they show our logo during the lottery.

Its may not
but i remember the 76ers having their new logo at the lottery last year so I suppose that GS will as well.

Look what I posted in the original thread of uniwatchblog.com take on if it's the new logo.
He pretty much confirmed it without saying it to get in trouble. It was also taken down right after that link was put up.
Warriorsworld had already found out what it was suppose to look like and the description was spot on to that logo.

Warriors said they would announce on draft night. So probably the actual draft and not the lottery announcement.

I didn't think of that..
Does anyone have the invitation to the draft party that announces the reveal to see how they worded it. If in fact that says the reveal of the jersey or the reveal of both.

not like this one
percentage of WTF in this logo is too high
free space in upper right corner is OK but it’s get killed by bridge lines moving everywhere but outside this space which tends to give room for hope
also font and blue color are doubtful
-Gustavs Klutsis in me says huge NO to this artwork
from WTF to FTW!

It’s not bad at all. I especially like the lighter shade of blue. Of course, the bridge is a great symbol.

D Bruce producer must have complained about leaking logo. Prob warriors also. He said does someone want to explain to him, you can’t remove something after it’s on the Internet anyways.

Great. Bring back a little history with a modern look. This is for sure an improvement over the current logo.

Not bad, but it could use some refinement…
Gonna get a little design nerdy here: it seems like the designer was going for asymmetry, and it’s almost there, it just seems like the bridge splits the circle too evenly, creating a lack of tension or interest. I also agree that the typeface doesn’t work so well. It definitely needs some character to contrast with the sleek simplicity of the logo, but Copperplate just reeks of old, stodgy, bank lettering. Despite all this, it is still better than the current logo.

Not liking it ...
Frankly that could be any bridge..and I agree with Sleepy, I think the Font is very basic and they could have ben a tad more creative with it.
I suspect that the gap in the logo is for the players number and that it will in fact be a royal blue, and yellow, which is cool for our new uni’s…but considering the amount of money they have to invest and the fact that they didnt even open up design concepts to STH’s… I think its a tad disappointing.
Better than what we have now… but in the words of Mr Horse…..

So the people who say they like it are overreacting too, right?
Ditto anyone who would post an excited diary on the subject?

You would be right if they posted a

So the threshold for “overreacting” is three sentences of explanation why someone doesn’t like it, with one l’il humorous pic for emphasis?
“A tad disappointing” is how Brit summarized his feelings. Man, he really does need to control his language, doesn’t he?
Thank goodness you’re here to arbitrate all this for us, Stinky!

Let's be real
the team is for sale. when a new owner comes in it’s all gonna get changed anyways. as soon as Cohan and Co are gone we get a fresh start. Logos, Uniforms and Paint Schemes included.
You have to notify the league two years in advance of a logo change.
So the logo wouldn’t change again right away. Also teams are sold all the time and rarely is that ever when a logo is changed. New owners don’t want to hurt a fan base by acting like they don’t care about the teams tradition.

Meh...
Generic, does not really stand out, more like what you would expect to see on the retro Friday games.

look at this page on the warriors website. Notice the box in the middle where it says, “Draft Lottery Tuesday May 18 at 5:00pm on ESPN.” You can see the rim of what seems to be their new jerseys! Looks like a hint that they’re going back to their Mullin era colors. Pretty SICK!
This ISN'T the new logo
That typeface seems so unoriginal. What is that? Copperplate Gothic? Really? Might as well use Papyrus or Comic Sans. _ I do like the bridge icon though but professional teams always seem to use a custom designed wordmark not some default typeface off of someone’s computer.

from uniwatchblog.com.. the place to find anything on uniforms or logo's.
Mike spotted this and wonders if that’s the new Warriors logo. Having seen the new logo, I can neither confirm nor deny, but let’s put it this way: That’s some nice work by Mike.

Werd. The mark itself is about a C — it could look better with a number to give the asymmetrical composition a reason for being. But the typography is a straight up, unmitigated FAIL. I mean, there’s Copperplate itself, a rather girly, mannered typeface that had its day in the postmodern 80s, appearing on cheezy restaurant menus and jewelry stores and anywhere else where someone wanted to lend an air of faux “elegance.”

And beyond the awful typeface itself, there’s the totally amateurish letterspacing of the team name. Only a complete rookie would put the WARRIORS lettering on an arc with the letters so tightly spaced that the angled strokes of the W and an A look like they’re going to collide.
This garbage is for an NBA team, in 2010? Seriously? A professional design firm was paid the big bucks to come up with this? All of sudden, I miss our current cartoonish lettering. I mean, maybe this is just a temporary replacement thing, till they resolve the actual final logotype. But as it stands, this would be the worst lettering in the NBA, by a huge margin. If it ends up anywhere near the actual uniforms, it would really be the ultimate parting F-U from that cheap rat b*stard Cohan.
There will be no extra point!

Well if that’s true as least it’s not a long expensive contract we can’t unload.

I completely agree.
I’d rather keep the ridiculous triangle serifs of the current jerseys than Copperplate Gothic. Disgusting. The least they could do was pick a typeface that wasn’t pre-installed onto whatever crack designer’s computer they hired for this. And believe me, I’ve stated in the past that I dislike the current wordmark.

That’s Dleague quality typeface, befitting our place in the NBA stratum.

this can't be the finished product
as much as i like it, it is missing a basketball incorporation. i believe all the other 29 teams have some sort of bball in their logo. so this isnt done yet. and yea the bridge looks out of place.

More do than don't,
but there are still a few that don’t have a b-ball in their logo.

Not the best
I personally think Tony’s is better.
Still, it’s an improvement over the current lightning theme. I’d buy a Curry jersey next year if it’s something like this.
i hate it... everything about it...
really terrible,,, specially because now my Warriors logo tat is “Old School”… Damn….

I’m not sure i like this anymore than our current uni’s.

I’d have to see the unis to really judge the new look, but based only on this, I pretty much dig it. I wouldn’t mind a deeper blue, BUT I think this lighter blue would look good as the main color of the jersey.
I really like the combo of old school and new school, replacing the GGB with the Bay Bridge. Maybe they’ll have the balls to sell something that says “Oakland” on it now. (Seriously, they wear GGBs and “San Francisco” when they’ve never played permanently in SF, but 40+ years in Oakland and they get no love?)
Agreed with the comments above that the Copperplate needs to go.
And I hope to Og we’re done with those hideous orange unis. Orange looks great as a trim, but you can only use so much of it before it looks amateurish. And I say this as a Giants fan (and yes, I hate the new orange Giants jerseys, too.)
I have Croix de Candlesticks older than you.

This was posted by Conrad, a member of the Sportslogos.net forum. He modified the logo a bit and it looks solid.

However, I’m not the biggest fan of the basketball marks there. It honestly kinda looks like fireworks. And I think the bridge needs all of its cables, which he left out. But the font, I think goes well here.

Thanks a brazillion!
That looks a (bra)zillion times better. To be clear: is this closer to what we’re actually getting, or just some dude’s interpretation? Man, I hope the former. I’m also not 100% sold on the basketball marks, but I don’t hate them either. And agreed about the missing cables. As for the type: much, much, much better. Still a little newfangled for my oldschool tastes, but a solid piece of contemporary graphic design.
Now at least I’m looking forward to the actual unveiling rather than dreading it…
There will be no extra point!
Here’s the link to the forum discussion.
http://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?showtopic=73188&st=0
The forum user just designed it himself. It looks really good but sadly, it’s his interpretation (his interpretation first appears on page 7 I think). They have a good discussion going on there. A lot of graphic designers giving their input, etc.

The new, uncompleted bay bridge?? Who thought of this??
I’m glad our new logo is for a bridge span that doesn’t exist yet. This will be really cool in 2012.
But don’t listen to me I’m just sorry they didn’t use my new bridge logo… I could’ve saved you Warriors…
