Regarding the name "Light," Gan Guoyang agreed, although he personally preferred some slightly unconventional team names.
Deep down, the names he truly favored were "Las Vegas Twin Towers" or "Las Vegas Air Strike," or even "Las Vegas 91ers," which were also good ideas.
However, as a commercial team aiming for profitability, the name's neutrality and poise are very important; too strange or unconventional can be seen as a small team, and Gan Guoyang's ideas wouldn't fit the current American social atmosphere after terrorist attacks.
A straightforward name symbolizing positive power can attract more attention to the team.
Moreover, the name Light is rich in meaning and resonates well with the character of Las Vegas.
After the name Light was settled, the team logo's basic concept was also established.
Using Las Vegas's famous neon signs as the core design elements, paired with sunshine and basketball, it will have strong recognition.
