   I think Mr. Davidson's approach is SOOOOO much better than this shite.

   @Matt Walker had a link to their "announcement" video and this was at the end of the clip.

   @Bob Schultz I would have liked to seen the fleur de lis incorporated like Fraser's. I guess it was an "expected" execution. I think @Fraser Davidson hangs the moon too! LOL!

   FWIW, I think this is one of the nicest pro logos we've seen in awhile.

   @Matt Walker sure beats the shit out of the lame-ass Brooklyn Nets catastrophe. that one could have been so much more.

   Yeah, as a Nets fan, that one hurts because I end up wearing it :)

   @Ced Funches thinks it stinks too! at least that's how I interpreted his tweet.

    @Matt Walker @Erin Potter A few thoughts. I made quite a few logos for the Wolves, so I understand the narrative they were looking to achieve, just not really feeling the name. As far as technical chops/specs it's pretty solid. Secondary NOLA mark is pretty striking. Would do you think Matt?

    I think it looks OK but from this perspective it reminds me of a stork rather than pelican.

    @Dreamix Studio thanks, but this is not my work. I just posted it to start a small, informal debate.

    The color combo reminds me too much of the Atlanta Hawks.

    Hey guys, I was the designer on this project. For what it's worth, I also think Davidson's logos look great. http://dribbble.com/shots/911727-New-Orleans-Pelicans

    threw a tweet over to @Ben Barnes with apologies for using "shite" to describe his execution on the Pelicans identity. should have been more constructive in my opinions. that is all.

    Shouldn't this have not been posted, as it isn't your work?

    @Jon Rohlf work from other designers is posted on Dribbble, all the time, for "critique" and opinion. I never claimed it was my work.

    Jon's right. I don't think that's what Dribbble is intended for, but it is what it is. The sad part is that the original fleur de lis mark was a full bird. It was very similar in concept to Fraser's. I don't have any insight as to why it was changed, though.

    @Andrew Harrington duly noted. just making sure I apologized for making unconstructive remarks to @Ben Barnes

    I think both are nice and work well. I even saw a 3rd one on here that was a nice concept as well http://dribbble.com/shots/869763-Pelicans?list=users
