Okay, here it is. In the wake of Ramunas Siskauskas’ retirement from basketball and based on the results from a pair of polls undertaken here, BallinEurope.com today unleashes its new logo, as designed at Budapest-based Artamax Creative Solutions.
We think the Sabas vs. Spanoulis logo represents BiE’s interest in European hoops both present and past, representing a fresh look while still harkening back to the site’s original graphic. A general redesign is also in the works, but click “continue reading” to see the logo below the break – and let us know what you think!

That logo is freaking awesome. Way better than the old one.
Very nice new logo even though I’m not sure Sabas is immediatly recognisable, even with his “Grateful dead” outfit
Sweeeeeet!
Sabas is easily one of the great centers in basketball history,if not NBA history. For this, he was enshrined in the basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass.. .Spanoulis? Sorry, not so much.
Keep the god damn Spanoulis bashing out of at least one thread. Good god, some people here have a serious mental disorder.
I don’t think it’s Spanoulis “bashing” commenting that Spanoulis is not as great as Sabas. That being said the last logo has Šiškauskas who is not considered an all-time great either so I am fine with Spanoulis being on the logo, he is a popular and very good European Euroleague player.
LOL…Okay @Jared. I just prefer JC Navarro over VSpan. .No big deal though…
Siskauskas was at one time considered to be the best player in Europe. Spanoulis is now considered to be the best player in Europe. Actually, at the time of the original logo, Siskauskas was considered the top player in Europe. The same as Spanoulis is now when this new logo comes out.
So both of those choices were extremely appropriate. One dumb ass troll bitching about it won’t change that. Navarro would have been appropriate a couple years ago, when he was the best player in Europe then. But the logo didn’t change until now.
Navarro would have been appropriate in place of Sabonis, as a tribute to an all-time player. But people chose Sabonis instead. At the time of both logos, Siska and Kill Bill were/are considered the best players in Europe. So both of those choices were very valid and correct.
Depends how recent you want to be. Last year perhaps Spanoulis could be considered the top player in Europe. This year, not even advancing out of the Top 16, not so much.
You are truly retarded. There are no words to describe your level of retardation.
Look the troll has returned after a week haitus. Well I have one thing to say to you troll.
Spanoulis’ Euroleague stats 16.1 and 5.4 on a 2-3 team in the top 16.
Bobby Brown’s Euroleague stats 20.5 and 5.6 on a 5-0 team in the top 16.
The “great” Spanoulis is getting out played by a player who averaged 5.1 and 1.8 in the NBA.
Spanoulis’ time is over. Euroleague has gotten too good. It was one thing to excel when Euroleague was full of players who couldn’t make the NBA but know this is changing with NBA role players, back-ups and scrubs coming over in droves to Euroleague.
Last year one NBA role player, Kirienko, came over and won MVP, DPOY and was one missed jump shot away of Finals MVP but since he was only one NBA role player Spanoulis was still able to shine.
This year with such NBA back-ups and scrubs like Brown, Farmar, Weems, Krstic, and Fernandez taking over the league Spanoulis is no longer a top dog. A team with Spanoulis as their best player will need a miracle to advance out of the top 16 just as a team with Bourousis as their best player has no chance of advancing out of the regular season.
I am Spaniard. You are crazy if you think Olympiacos will not make it past Top 16 and even crazier if you think Brown’s team has any chance at F4 and so MVP.
There really is something wrong with you. You must be telling big joke if you really think Olympiacos is not going past Top 16. You are a true idiot. Olympiacos is easily best team in their group.
Easily the best team in their group? So that’s why they’re 2-3 in their group while Siena is 5-0 in their group? Okay, whatever you say.
I like it!! I think Sabas is wonderfully designed, I recognized him at the very first glance.
Spanoulis is not bad either but he normally has 1/ less and lighter hair, 2/ thiner eyebrows, 3/ sparkling eyes and also 4/ a slight idiosyncratic squint that is missing here.
Very good anyway
Spanoulis should be with the tongue out. :p
BTW, Gabe and mike got proven as liars yet again. Their claim that PAO’s arena only seats 18,000 and not over 20,000 as numerous people from Greece told them is outed as a lie. One of hundreds they have told here.

20,000 attendance at OAKA
What more amazing is that with that victory Madrid is 5-0 in the top 16 with Fernandez as their top scorer. So the highest scorers on the only two undefeated teams in the top 16 are Bobby Brown and Rudy Fernandez…Wow.
So it was shown that you lied about this arena’s capacity and you try to change subject on it? Yes, I see you are a troll now. Never mind, you are just trolling.
Jeremy Pargo. All Euroleague 2nd team and starting pg on on a team that made the Euroleague final a couple years ago, leading them in minutes played, points and assists, has been released by the Cavs, the third worst team in the NBA.
Just saying.
Nenad Krstic does not start on CSKA. So why the fuck do you keep bringing up this starter bullshit?
No one fucking cares in Euroleague about who starts. It’s not relevant.
Okay but it still stands that he lead the team in points, minutes and assists.
Heee’s baaaack! Some people are just shameless….
Vassilis seems more like Pero Antic
He’s not fully back. He’s just half-back. He’s trying to figure how to explain this mess of a Euroleague. Is it rigged or is it not rigged? That is the question. LOL
O is Stern now secretly controlling and conspiring with EL owners to keep Vspan out of the top 16…. ?
Spanoulis is already in Top 16 you fucking asshole.

I want you off this site for a year as soon as Olympiacos qualifies for the quarterfinals.
[...] most obvious design change is of course our revamped logo, featuring Arvydas Sabonis from those glory days of Lithuanian basketball in the e…. But not only is the look itself updated, the coding involved in creating the background is quite a [...]
