Hey guys. Been looking at the Dolphins for too long and flinching at the most boring uniform in the NFL. To top it off they had the worst downgrade of a logo (IMO).
Thought I’d have a go at attacking the logo.
I wanted to pay homage to the original and specifically the 90s/00s angry dolphin. I tried to keep the colours more in keeping with the Miami, South Beach vibes. I was reluctant to go too pastel so stuck with the bright colour palette with a deeper red/orange and a brighter aqua.
Noting Miami’s link to Art Deco I wanted to make the ‘M’ sharper and more Art Deco. The sun burst also takes inspiration from sun burst mirror frames and sculptures from the 20s.
Of note, I prefer the leaping dolphin over the new swimming dolphin. However, I didn’t want to make it a complete rehash of the previous logo.
Let me know what you think.
Uniforms and wordmark coming soon.
Cheers guys.
