Some interesting ideas here, worth a try! Thanks a lot.

Thank you! I started with the A version, which I think is nice but it's kind of already seen, so I tried some variations to make it more interesting.

wonder if the whole pin could be a "basketball". or if the basketball could look like a comet with a tail that is the pointy end of the pin. when looking at this i also wondered if the basketball could be the circle, then some white space, and then an arrow/triangle bottom.

(I'm partial to symmetry and the simpler forms)

Thank you, I really like the D version too but I think the pin is kinda weird like this. Need to work on its shape.

Thank you! Sure, we are working on an app where people can save their favorite public playgrounds, check-in on the court and organize games, maybe some other features. Visual design is part of the job. Probably next iteration will be on more dynamic shapes as you suggest :)

I say A or D. I like the implied movement of D and imo it adds more originality. 

B and C are a bit harder to make out and E loses too much of the "pin" I think.

Experiments on the logo of an app that helps basketball players find street courts and organize games. What do you think?

I love the idea for the app! Care to share more details?
I like A, B and E.
The combo of the pin and basketball shape reminds me of Taz from looney tunes, like the tornado.
What are your thoughts on using a more dynamic perspective for the ball + pin/net shape?

Absolutely, this is only the first iteration and I wanted to share my first ideas to gather some feedback :)

Some combination of A and C would be simple and clear

Looking forward to the next iteration. Keep us posted!!

B keeps both the features most alive. The pin looks like a pin, and a basketball looks like a basketball.
