BULLETS ARE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD AS NEW LOGOS ARE UNVEILED

          The Wizards, formerly known as the Bullets, unveiled
     new logos and colors yesterday to go along with their name
     change.  The new Wizards logo, created by the NBA, contains
     the colors blue, black and bronze.  The team's primary logo
     features a wizard leaping outstretched past the moon while
     holding a "burst of magic" in his right hand and a spinning
     basketball in his left hand.  A "W" is emblazoned across the
     Wizard's chest.  The secondary logo features a modern font
     that forms the letters "dc" (Wizards).  The team made the
     announcements at a Modell's Sports Goods store in Bethesda,
     MD, and the Baltimore SUN's Jerry Bembry notes that after
     the announcement was made, Wizards merchandise went on sale
     immediately.  The Wizards color scheme is similar to the
     redesigned colors of the Capitals, also owned by Wizards
     Owner Abe Pollin (Baltimore SUN, 5/16).  The move also
     signified "the demise of Hoops," the team mascot, who waved
     goodbye at the unveiling (WASHINGTON POST, 5/16).
