BBTV Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 See I think that reading left to right actually makes the Eagles logo correct and all the others wrong. The bird should be flying past me, and when moving left to right and seeing it’s beak first, it adds to its dynamicism. The others seem more static since my eye hits the rear ends first, so it’s like I’m passing them by. I’d theow out that the helmet graphics are responsible for everyone else’s incorrectness, rather than the Eagles uniqueness.

It is a great look when the opposing team does not wear white pants or the opposing team is going semi-monochrome. Otherwise, the purple pants should be worn.

I’d theow out that the helmet graphics are responsible for everyone else’s incorrectness, rather than the Eagles uniqueness. I don't think there's a right or wrong. I think the reason most of them face the opposite way is the helmets, which perhaps for no particular reason, are shown facing right in promotional graphics. That sort of forces the logos to face right. Of the logos that Goth posted, only the Vikings and Rams logo is not on the helmet, but even those have components (horns in both cases) so it makes more sense for them to face right as well. The Eagles are one of the few teams with a primary logo that could face either way, in theory. The Ravens (left off intentionally) is the best example of a logo that does does not work well because of having to flip it for the left side of the helmet. They could just remove the "B" but what do I know? I've always thought that a lot of logos look weird on the left side of the helmet. The Chiefs...they essentially have to do what the Ravens do but don't have to change the shape of the letters. I even think the left side of the Bears helmet looks a bit odd. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Besides I thought the Falcons, Cardinals, and Dolphins logos looks more disturbing than the Ravens logo but yet you posted it on that list.

simtek34 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Back to the logo facing, then why does the Eagles wordmark have it facing the opposite direction? It would be smarter to hav wall versions facing one direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be smarter to hav wall versions facing one direction. It's also tilted up at an awkward angle just to align with the arc of the wordmark. Double wrong. You rarely, if ever see that logo anymore anyway. Doesn't count. Didn't happen.

To his point, yes it does - the helmet is a de facto logo that appears all over the place - 99.99% of the time, facing right.

The Eagles' primary logo is awkward because it flows in the opposite direction as we read in English. They're the only team in the NFL that currently does this. Which is only feasible because unlike virtually every other NFL team, they don't put their primary logo on the helmet. For that reason, I give the Eagles something of a pass. They have the history, and that also counts for something in my eyes. This is is an interesting subject for me. I’m with BBTV on this one in that I generally prefer left facing logos, but for a different reason. When I draw a directional logo, it’s usually to accentuate that directionality or movement, and the composition typically ends up being a detailed face of some sort that gets less detailed as you move toward the back. As a right-handed person, it’s really difficult to draw a right-facing face and extend the rear of the logo back toward you. It’s much more natural to draw a left-facing face and extend the rest of the logo away from you as you draw. I also like the composition of left-facing logos. I think a good logo should circle your eye around it quickly and confidently. A left facing logo starts you at the focal point, takes you across it and back for your eye to rest back on the focal point.

Your point about drawing as a righty is valid too, though I hadn't thought of it that way until you mentioned it.
