Hey everyone, today I tried to draw the Charlotte Hornets logo. Let me tell you, it was quite a journey! I started by gathering some references. I browsed through a bunch of sports logo websites. One of them is called “*” or something, and it had a lot of different versions of the Hornets logo. Also, I found that the Hornets are going to celebrate their 35th anniversary next season. Cool, right?
I saw they’re dropping a special logo and a new uniform for the anniversary. So I dug a little deeper and found some discussions on a forum. People were talking about the new design, and it sounded like a mix of old and new. Nice idea I guess.
Getting to Work
First, I sketched out the basic shape of the hornet. It’s not just any hornet, this one’s got these intense eyes and a super sharp stinger. I heard that the design was made with help from the NBA and some folks from Nike’s Jordan brand. That’s pretty neat, right? I tried to capture that fierce look in my drawing.
- Outlining the Body: I started with a rough outline, focusing on the overall shape of the hornet’s body.
- Adding Details: Then, I added in the eyes, the wings, and that pointy stinger. Took a few tries to get it right, man.
- Coloring It In: After that, I started coloring. I used a lot of teal and purple, just like the real logo.
The Colors
Speaking of colors, I noticed the Hornets also have a new City Edition uniform. It’s mostly mint green with some granite and gold accents. Looks really stylish, I have to say. I did not have these colors available so I used what I had, but tried to keep the color theme in mind.
Wrapping Up
After a few hours of drawing and coloring, I finally finished my version of the Hornets logo. It’s not perfect, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. It was a fun challenge, and I learned a lot about the team’s history and their logo designs.
So, that’s my little art adventure for today. Hope you guys enjoyed hearing about it. What do you think of the Hornets’ logo? Let me know in the comments!
