Logos logos logos...
Speaking of sneaker logos…I got hit with an interesting one in the DMs the other day by @don_brown …pointing out the obvious similarities between the Curry Brand logo and the ES skateboarding logo. Anyone within my age bracket probably had the same reaction when Curry revealed the logo ( similar to Fry's reaction).
Makes me wonder what the designers were up to…like…they had to know, right? There's a cool article by @nickdepaula on Boardroom explaining the inspiration behind the Curry logo and it all sounds legit...
But it’s funny because skaters been borrowing from ball players for a minute, and ball players been borrowing from skaters for a minute. And I absolutely LOVE to talk about this, but when I was a kid, I took to skateboarding: I wasn’t very good because I fell a lot as and was terrified of falls, so I moved onto basketball...I think there is a real connection (in spirit) between basketball and skateboarding that never really gets discussed
I guess the question I’d ask…if you’re ES Skateboarding, what do you do in this case? Is there anything that can be done?
