IceCap Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I prefer the classic one. Anyway this thread can remain open if it remains civil. @Dboi2001 please keep that in mind going forward.

Burkell007 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I like the middle one, if for only the shade of “ cobalt” blue that was the primary color of the home jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Akronite- Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 You can make arguments about the colors and how they choose to balance them, but they refined the design and the current logo is the best IMO. I have conflicted feelings about their minimal use of neon green, especially when you have a primarily navy logo going on a navy helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I view the original Seahawks logo much like I view the original Dolphins logo. An accurate reflection of the area’s art style, warts and all. They both have a bit of kitsch and whimsy that, in my opinion, are lacking from the NFL these days.

And that’s why I prefer the original. That and the bright color scheme. The updates are all trying too hard to be tough and “kewl”. The harder they strain, the less effective they are.

Carolingian Steamroller Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I tend to like the leading edge of the beak better in the classic version. Seems thicker and bolder. Also I like the proportions being more square and less slanted. The more indigenous eye also looks better to me since I love that style of art.

Carolingian Steamroller Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 The original isn't perfect by any means. Some of the lines could be thickened. However I think the new ones are a little too stylized and veer too far away from the original Kwakwaka'wakw design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardsblues02 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 The older one is personally my favorite. The new one is okay, I prefer the green, sliver and blue to the double blue that they used for a bit (middle one). But overall, they were going for a Pacific Northwest feel and the accomplished this the best in the old logo. I love that old logo, even though the uniforms are not my favorite. I get why they updated it, but the old Hawk, to me, is worlds better. Anyone remember that old Seahawks alternate logo, the flying bird? Yeah, I like that better than the 2 new ones. Now THAT was a logo. Overall though, the original in this case is superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Although I like all 3 logos, the classic is my favorite by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Noire Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I’m actually a big fan of the current logo overall. I just wish it had the original logo’s colors. I’m with Cap that logos don’t need to be intimidating to be a good sports logo. However I much prefer what the Dolphins and the Seahawks have now over the old stuff.
