NBA logos re-designed to feature video game characters

Graphic designer changes NBA logos to feature gaming characters

Have you ever looked at your team’s logo and thought, that’s a little boring? I love my team but they could have made their logo look a lot more entertaining.

Well a graphic designer, who uses the Instagram handle @ak47_Studios, has made the logos look a lot more interesting. What better way to get people’s attention than by merging to of their favorite things? Basketball and Super Mario!

Who hasn’t loved both those things since a very young age? I know I have and the logos made my day. I for one hope that the NBA consider changing some of the logos to feature some of these genius ideas. The graphic designer uses characters from Super Mario, Pac Man, Mortal Combat and others. Being Irish I was quick to see that he did for the Boston Celtic’s logo, and I was not disappointed.

It actually turned out to be my favorite of the bunch.

Who doesn’t love Luigi? Definitely in my top two Italian’s of all time, and fits in the logo nearly as much as the leprechaun that features in the genuine logo.

When you see Luigi, you know that his brother is not too far away. It appears the designer felt the same way as he redesigns the Heat’s logo to feature the Italian plumber.

I’m sure ak47_studios had a blast making these logos and it must have taken a lot of creativity, some of the logos just worked perfectly. Enter the ‘New York Kongs’.

My last favorite of the series is because it is a childhood game of mine (and everyone else on earth), plus Sonic just fits well with the Orlando Magic’s logo because well let’s face it…Who’s more magic than Sonic?

Those were my favorites but lets be fair, all of them are pretty amazing and very clever. Here’s a few more that you should have a look at.
