illini1 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I wish they would have added the yellow ring to the base of the horn to match the horns on the helmet. Also, it looks to me that the curvature of the horns aren't exactly the same. I could be wrong about that though.OK adding to ColorWerx version, but going Full Purple Helmet + Yellow Base Ring (ONE CAVEAT: this is a simply cut and paste hatchet job just to give everyone an idea of what this would look like -- so it's not going to be "perfect"):That looks good! I wish they would put the horns lower on the helmets and make them more vertical like the logo. The horns on the helmets are almost horizontal.

hugevolsfan Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Also Andrew I meant to say that I like the horns the best on yours of all the versions I have seen.I figured you must have had some kind of different proportion on it.

Primal Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 It still bugs me that you can see the other horn but not the other side of the moustache. I choose to imagine that the far horn is actually a little third horn that pops straight out the back of the helmet for extra pointyness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would put the horns lower on the helmets and make them more vertical like the logo. The horns on the helmets are almost horizontal.There needs to be a little bit of give and take here IMO. If the entire logo mirrors the helmet logo to a T, then you kind of run the danger of having a kind of "redundant" 2nd / alternate logo. The alternate / secondary / non-helmet logo should bring something a little different to the table -- not to mention the fact that it may just ending up looking like a Viking actually wearing the Vikings football helmet (which I don't think is the look you want to go for).Finally, if you think about it, it should be the other way around -- i.e. the helmet portraying the Viking rather than vice versa. In other words, the way I see it, the horns of the helmet is supposed to portray "real" horns of a Viking helmet, but due to the physical limitations of the shape / overall real estate of a football helmet you end up doing what you can / compromising (e.g. angles of the horns and such). But the alternate / non-helmet logo doesn't have any of these limitations (or they have less constrictions -- you can have more detail, depth / perspective, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 you know what would probably fix all the issues i have with the vikings logo?a new version where he is simply facing forward. has anyone ever drawn him up from that angle before?

SCL Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Another color helmet doesn't work, for applications against purple the yellow helmet is preferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Another color helmet doesn't work, for applications against purple the yellow helmet is preferable.True. Which is why (along with certain rumors to the effect of an added color coming) I was partially expecting a gray helmet for the logo. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I thought about it for a while, I don't think it would even be possible for them to put horns on the helmet that match the logo. The base of the horns would have to be down by the earhole.

steff002 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Anyone else think this may lead to new uniforms? Or will we wait for the new stadium to open?New unifors next year. I think all the new changes will be in place by the time the stadium opens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gek_6 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Made my way down to Mercedes Benz Stadium this weekend to see the Vikes and the new stadium ... was shocked to see the pre-2013 logo used all over the stadium.

NFL teams put up the incorrect Browns helmet still, even though the biggest difference is the mask color which is pretty easy to identify. Local TV stations are even worse since someone put up a picture of the Miami Hurricanes helmet with the wrong mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
