mattwillcox Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 With all of the talk going around about the Dolphins upcoming new look and leaked logo I thought it would be the perfect time to try my hand at a Dolphins redesign. Comments and criticism would be great, I'd love to hear what you guys think. Portfolio Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFWally Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 That is sick! So much better than the leaked one. Well done! Fictional History of the SFAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DolphinManatee Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I think this is great, but I have 3 gripes/concerns:-The dorsal fin: It looks cut up on the back.-The stripes: I think it is too orange heavy on white.-The double aqua: I think there is an NFL rule stating that a team can only have 1 unique color in their color scheme. (Tell me if I'm wrong.)Also one last thing, where can I find a vector version of those Revo Speed helmets (on the left)? I've been looking for those in the SVG and other template threads to no avail (unless I've been overlooking). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsaline Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 -The double aqua: I think there is an NFL rule stating that a team can only have 1 unique color in their color scheme. (Tell me if I'm wrong.)Teams can have as many colors as they want in their logo, and their jerseys may only have colors from their official team colors. For an example, take the Seahawks. They had two shades of blue and lime green, all of which are "unique". http://www.colorwerx...11_SCC_SRGB.pngEDIT: And by the way, love the logo! So much better than the leaked.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Very good job with the primary logo, and I love the number font. The only thing I'd do different is have a script with more character. Also, the number font with the double-outline is unnecessary on the road if it's not on the home, but that's actually a personal preference. In a vacuum, the road look is very good.

Berlin Wall Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 That's by far the best Dolphins concept up here. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a vacuum, the road look is very good.Ya, I was having a lot of trouble deciding on what to do with the script. I'd like to work up something custom, but I'm not sure I'll have the time. There actually is a double outline on all of the numbers, but the silver isn't very prominent when next to the white. I think I'm going to either completely ditch the silver or make the double outline more prominent on the aqua and orange jerseys, not sure which one yet though.And thanks for all of the kind words guys, I should have a small update up soon.*EDITHere's the updated logo and uniforms. I fixed up the dorsal fin and changed up the double outline on the numbers. Also, here's a link to the helmet template DolphinManatee http://www.mediafire.com/?fzp90nvt92v2zzv Portfolio Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udubs03 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Really strong primary logo and I think you nailed the uniforms with that update.One small issue...on the primary logo, I think the front pectoral fin should overlap the white belly stripe.I'd also love to see it without the gray. I think it would be just as strong, maybe even more so.Great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 OUTSTANDING!The "sun" has always bothered me on the Dolphins logo. I don't even think I knew it was the sun until I got to these boards. This goes a long way toward solving that problem. Love the new Dolphin with the less detailed face. I am in the minority in that I think the concept that has been floating out there is an upgrade, but this is much better in that it probably does not offend so many that don't want to see a large change. And I can only hope they go this route with the uniforms. 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."

MellowTheMyth Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Absolutely beautiful concept for the Dolphins, if I may say so. Definitely needs to be sent to the real Dolphins A.S.A.P. to save themselves from embarrassment. I also love the elimination of navy and replacing it with a darker aqua.

pianoknight Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Your colors, logo and execution are all fantastic, but this reminds me too much of Auburn. What about a green helmet? The Dolphin's shade of green is unique but for some reason every single Dolphins concept seems stuck on the white lids. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

Fox Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 If this was real the Dolphins would have a top 10 set easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Zero Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 What a beautiful set. I'm almost tempted to ask what an orange set of pants would look like, but this is a really solid concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
