Kings Have a new Logo

Even though I'm an old school fan, I'm not too wild about any of these logos. I dunno, perhaps they'll grow on me. I hope so. I do admit that adding color as some of you did changes it a bit, for the better, so it will be interesting to find out exactly what color scheme they've actually gone with.
If they've gravitated back to the royal blue, powder blue and red again .... I'll be upset. I love the purple and black. Having said that, royal blue and black isn't so turrible (as Sir Charles would say!).

I'm actually surprised by how much I dig this logo. The seams not only double as the lion's mane but also hint at an S.
Looking at it again it seems like with the crown doubling as a skyline the seams can also represent the Sacramento river. Just really cool with lots of detail while being simple and effective at the same time.
I wouldn't mind it as the primary logo really.
Apparently NBA 3.0 means more international advertising and a Kings partnership with Löwenbräu
I'm not sure about the full lion but I dig the rest. Not the complete re-imagining I was expecting and maybe hoping for, but if these really are the new logos I'm cool with that.
And honestly I kind of hope the logos are all black. I think they look great that way.

we've seem them in color/context before:
unfortunately it was some weak ass poopoo. If we were gonna back to those beloved Joe Axelson days we should have just gone all the back to that awesome smiling ball one

NPR recently interviewed Roman Mars about his Ted Talk on (of all things) the design of city flags. And I was intrigued enough to watch the full video and it was actually incredibly interesting.

Most of what he says about flags transfers directly over to something like a team logo. Especially the bit about looking at the design at the scale of an inch or so. The current logo fails there. Just not the simple, iconic result you want. Four different colors (and one of them - gray - prominent despite not being a main team color) six different elements and very hard to make out when rendered small, something that happens often with NBA logos.
This is all personal preference but I like what Brooklyn, Atlanta & Milwaukee did with their redesigns and I think the Kings are on that same track of simple, clean and classic or at least modern-retro.
But that lion head/basketball secondary logo - that's awesome. Is there anyone who doesn't dig that one?
