Typically NBA: lazy effort, bland result, fixation with ugly fonts and ugly gradients. It is getting harder and harder for me to take the NBA serious, also from a logo point of view.

Why are they hosting another All-Star weekend? This is ridiculous. Houston just hosted in 2006. It’s time to switch it up! The NBA is and has been moving in the wrong direction over the past several years.

I mostly agree with your assessment, but the Houston All-Star logo does have a small touch that makes a unique connection to the team. The red section where Houston 2013 is written makes it look like their logo, because of its circular look, like a rocket leaving the ground. It’s a very small aspect of the logo, but something unique to the team nonetheless.

..totally agree, it seems like every single pro sports league is going “template”, is this a globalization issue?
they’re totally losing the city identity with the event and even missing the point of hosting it. Eventually they’ll lose their fans too.

Pardon my ignorance, however, when did the NBA phase out the words “Game” or “Weekend” from their “All-Star ___” celebration? It’s ridiculous that they cannot make this distinction on their logos; and this League is not the only sport that is this inconsiderate. I’m looking at you, Major League Soccer!
