| How To Draw The Portland Trailblazers Logo |
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you start channeling your inner Picasso, make sure you have the right tools. You'll need:
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.
- A pencil (preferably not the kind you use to stab your enemies)
- An eraser (in case you mess up, which you probably will)
- A ruler (for those straight lines. You know, the ones that never seem to be straight)
- Paper (something to draw on. A napkin won't cut it)
- A reference image of the logo (because let's face it, you're not Michelangelo)
Step 2: Find Your Center
Start by lightly sketching a circle in the center of your paper. This will be the base of your logo. If you can't draw a circle, just pretend you're drawing a really round potato. It's close enough.
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
Step 3: The Red Rip City
Now, comes the tricky part: the red part. This is where the "trail" in Trail Blazers comes in. It's supposed to look like a fiery, dynamic swoosh. But let's be real, it looks more like a squiggly line that a toddler drew. Don't worry, it's supposed to be like that. Kind of.
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
Step 4: The Black Magic
Next up is the black part. This is the "blazers" part of the logo. It's basically a triangle with a pointy bit at the top. Easy peasy, right? Wrong. The angle of the triangle is crucial. Too steep, and you've got a pyramid scheme. Too shallow, and it looks like a sad pizza slice.
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.

Step 5: The Finishing Touches
Almost there! Add the white outline to the red part, and then the white text "Portland Trail Blazers." If your handwriting is as bad as mine, you might want to practice on a scrap piece of paper first.
Step 6: Stand Back and Admire
Okay, now step back and take a look at your masterpiece. If it looks like a crying emoji, don't worry. Most people's first attempts do. Just remember, even Picasso started somewhere. And that somewhere probably looked like a potato too.
Important Tip: Don't be afraid to experiment! Add your own spin to the logo. Maybe throw in a basketball, or a tiny Rip City mascot. Who knows, you might be the next big thing in logo design.
