In THE OKLAHOMAN, Mike Baldwin writes "with ‘thunderstruck' blaring over speakers inside Leadership Square, NBA players Desmond Mason and Damien Wilkins and a group of kids unveiled the Thunder logo Wednesday afternoon. While there was little suspense in recent weeks that Thunder would be Oklahoma City's new NBA team's nickname, there was one element of surprise — the team's primary background color is sky blue. ‘We think the logo is classic in its style,' said team chairman Clay Bennett. "We think it's powerful in its design. We think it evokes energy. We think the word Thunder is displayed with simplicity and dignity. And the colors represent much about Oklahoma. ‘Our primary color blue is the color of our state flag. This is very much an Oklahoma organization. The sunset is red and orange. Not too red. Not too orange. And the beautiful sun is reflected by yellow.'"
