The current NBA logo, created by Alan Siegel, has been in circulation by the league since 1969, and features Jerry West, a former Laker player who later served different stints as a scout, coach and general manager for the team. But calls to change the logo have increased since Bryant and seven others, including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant, were killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California on Sunday.
For Moghtader, creating the petition was about honoring Bryan and the number of responses"represents how many people all over the world loved Kobe Bryant."
