The three project mandates for Doret. I asked him to explore different creative paths. So much great work - but many of the ideas were too retro.
Knicks wanted a modern look.
Empire St. N Y design was perfect but legal issues killed that icon.

My original contribution to the update @NYknicks logo was to add the Empire State Building into the sketches Doret initiated which would have been the perfect location icon!
The subway token idea was so obvious and so popular with fans!
