SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – A graphic designer created Disney themed logos based on NBA team logos prior to the league’s restart at Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

@pkairdesigns on Instagram revamped multiple logos for NBA franchises, including the Utah Jazz.

The Disney themed Jazz logo features Utah’s traditional J-Note design but with a slight tweak. Disney character Pluto is placed about the A and Z in Jazz and is playing a saxophone in the shape of the would-be letter J in Jazz.

“Disney X NBA logo designs. These were both really tricky but I hope I didn’t disappoint!!” posted @pkairdesigns.

NBA Restart Plan

Starting on July 30, 22 NBA teams, including the Jazz, will finish the 2019-20 regular season with an eight-game schedule. After the regular season is completed, 16 teams will advance to the NBA Playoffs.

The games will be played at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex and no fans will be in attendance.

No NBA games have been played since the league suspended the season on March 11 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
