If there was anything that would help get me writing about things other than being a new dad and how I\u2019m often operating on a sleep deficit and spending the expected amount of time changing diapers, it\u2019s a good old fashioned dunking on a rebranded logo.\u00a0 And the Los Angeles Rams Formerly of St. Louis did just that<\/a>, futilely trying to get people to pay attention to them and not think of them as another dead franchise that inexplicably cannot survive in a sports-crazed market like LA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Honestly, in spite of the harsh tone and the likely critical things I\u2019m going to say about it, the overall logo isn\u2019t that turrible<\/a>.\u00a0 It says \u201cLA\u201d and then there\u2019s a horn of a ram in it, the point is made, and the objective is completed: LA Rams.<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem is, I can\u2019t not see a glorified news station logo when I look at it.\u00a0 The very first thought that came to mind when I saw it was that it looked like it had<\/em> to be an NBC affiliate\u2019s news logo for Los Angeles.\u00a0 Like it was born to be a news station logo, not the primary identity of a futbol americano franchise in the NFL, one of the most influential and wealthy sporting entities on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

I mean seriously, the image above is a quick shop job I did to illustrate my point.\u00a0 If this whole post wasn\u2019t talking about the logo, would anyone stop and think twice about the logo tucked in the bottom corner of any news broadcast?\u00a0 It fits so seamlessly and could easily be used in any broadcast throughout all of Los Angeles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s hard to believe that LA just can\u2019t get a break when it comes to professional football.\u00a0 They\u2019re such a massive market, yet the NFL just inexplicably can\u2019t seem to get their shit together out there.\u00a0 Even the Knicks were once good in New York, but LA just can\u2019t seem to get people to take the NFL seriously there.\u00a0 I mean look at the memes<\/a> that the LA Chragers became when they unveiled their low-effort logo that lasted all of like two days before it was ridiculed to literal death.<\/span><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t say I bothered to see if the Rams\u2019 new logo was nearly as ridiculed as the Chragers\u2019 one was, but to this snooty graphic designer, all I\u2019ll ever see is a fictitious news station\u2019s logo, waiting to be permanently positioned in the bottom corner of a television screen during a broadcast.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
