Pharos04 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Now is usually the time when the NFL usually began to slowly roll out next year's Super Bowl logo. The key component has been the upcoming game's official program detailing the following year's season culminating with the next Super Bowl along with the new logo. Well I got to take a look at Super Bowl XLVI's game program tonight and what do I find? A lousy placeholder logo! (I forgot my phone so I could not take a pic; i will tomorrow). Description: Blue rectangle with the standardized NFL font saying Super Bowl XLVIINew Orleans2013So given the very prominent usage of the "Regional" Super Bowl logo on many "National" merchandise and outlets, is it possible to assume that the NFL might be moving away from the standardized logos after 2 years? The other two Indy logos are being used right alongside the "Official" logo, perhaps the NFL has seen the error of its ways. I sure hope so, I don't think I can deal with these being the upcoming logosThoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_prankster Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I don't think I can stand the current system either. They gotta go back to the more colorful logos of years past. The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I wouldn't mind the standardized system if they'd use a better look. I don't care for the gradients. I believe there is an embroidery version that is flat, and it looks much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailstateunis Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 They obviously won't use the standardized logo for 50, and hopefully they won't go back to the standardized logo for 51. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGWB Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I miss the creativity of old super bowl logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 But as shown in the other thread, there's tons of other logos being used on merchandise along side the official logo, so why not just have both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzaman7294 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I like the font and the huge Lombardi trophy but if theres just some added flavor/color from each city, i think i could stand it. Kinda like the grey cup logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgladding Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The new logos are the worst idea in NFL History. I think they want to cut costs but I bet they lose out on collectors and such, plus it cheapens the Super Bowl to have a generic logo. I don't mind MLB, at least they tweak each year's World Series logos, though I wish they wouldn't mass produce merchandise with a cheap logo on it and slap a team logo on it and call it done...

Anubis2051 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I really hope they aren't still using the generics when the game is in New Jersey in 2014 --- it's very likely to be the only Superbowl every played in New Jersey/New York - and it's screaming for it's own logo.

sportsfan0518 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Here's the placeholder logo i mentioned in the first postWhat I find interesting about that is they use the same font as Super Bowl XLIV, and not Super Bowl XLI, XLII, XLIII, XLV, or XLVI. That could be a game changer and hopefully end this disgrace of the standardized logo era. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jt0323 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 the thing that sucks is with all these logos being the same you wont be able to associate the super bowl with the logo anymore. You can show me any past logos for the last 10 years and i can tell you who played in them. These are too similar that it does not stand out.

Mr. Krabs Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'll give it until Super Bowl L for them do ditch the standardization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I really wish the NFL would have taken a page out of the CFL and done a Grey Cup-style standardization. (Similar to the World Series logos with the MLB.) In the CFL's case, the Grey Cup trophy always looks the same, but everything else about the logo is different: the colors, background, etc. I think that would have been a much better thing for the NFL to take on: that way, the logos are still unquestionably similar, but different enough that you can pick out one from the other very easily.As I've stated before, I don't think the standardized approach is bad, I just hate the trophy logo they went with. Something much flatter and simpler would have looked much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hailstateunis Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 As others have said, using a Grey Cup style logo system would be perfect. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
