derschwigg Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hey guys! I'm throwing a curveball. I'd talked about doing the NHL or the NBA next, but it turns out: I'm a big fat liar, and I've decided to take on the NFL. Just like my last league (The MLB, which you can find here), I'm more going for a refresh than a redesign. Some of the logos in the NFL are great as is, but could use a little bit of improvement. Some, on the other hand, are well overdue for an overhaul.So, without further ado, here's the New Orleans Saints (Also, I'm going in no particular order, and will try to get a logo done every 2 or 3 days, time permitting.)

JTswag187 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I would make the FDL taller. Otherwise it's great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerFan98 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I like it a lot. Don't you touch my Packers! (I understand you have to, just don't go crazy please!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sports Wiz Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 That is really cool I like it can't wait to see the rest of the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePeam Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Another great logo and hopefully another great series. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADW77 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Some input here... First, it's too heavily outlined. It's just too much. I makes it look too bulky and heavy. Also, the strokes/outlines. I can tell you used the offset path, and that makes it look bad. With the outline around the curved points it's a bad thing. Take the time to fix those up manually and make them clean, right now it looks messy. For the logotype. The smooth curves and softness of the letters don't fit in with the sharp, hard lines of the logo. It looks like they don't belong together. It's not bad, not bad at all, just my two cents.

derschwigg Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks, all! Like last time, I'm probably going to do a few new entries before I get to C&C after I've had a chance to distance myself from it for a bit.In any case - I've ALREADY come to a split-decision.Here's two options for the new look Dolphins.Edit: I'll be revisiting this - the more I look at it, the more I don't like the way I rendered the dolphin.

TheRicSlick Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Use the logo with the Dolphin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADW77 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The colors look really washed out, not a fan of that.Some other thoughts... The dolphin looks like a shark/swordfish hybrid. The fins are too wide, the dorsal fin is too sharp, the nose is too narrow. The tail actually looks like the back end of an airplane. The sun looks like some sort of circular blade. The logotype looks good for the most part. The "MIAMI" doesn't meld well with the Dolphins script. It's too hard and solid, while the the nickname script is smooth, curved and flowing.

ThePeam Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Definitely use the Dolphin but he kinda looks grumpy make him look angry. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velder94 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I personally prefer the Dolphin over of the MD logo, both look great though!Overall it's looking great, I'm looking forward to future updates!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roldy54 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I think the rendering of the sun looks great, but not a huge fan of the Dolphin. The classic jumping dolphin logo might work pretty well here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Scorcho Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The dolphin would be far better if you puffed out his chest a little, there is currently a concave right from tail to the tip of the snout. Give him some shape and it will improve it a fair bit I reckon.Love your work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingmar66 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The DOLPHINS lettering is really nice (forget the Motre Dame monogram), the dolphin itself needs a little more bulk and a little less outline or shadow. Your version of the sun is actually quite good. The Saints FDL does not need a drop shadow or the extensive lining on the top of the middle part. As for the Saints lettering, it looks like the sign of a dreary tourist bar, of which there are plenty in NOLA, but this will not do for a football team. Separate town from team name and try different fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goallinedesign Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Use the dolphin logo & update the Saints word mark, great work! Jack Gambro Goal Line Design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derschwigg Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thanks for the CC, guys! I completely agree with the remarks on the dolphin. In fact, I made note of it not long after I posted it haha! "Edit: I'll be revisiting this - the more I look at it, the more I don't like the way I rendered the dolphin."I'm going to nix it and start over with more of a dynamic pose. Check back later for a certain steel-town team. My Portfolio | My Store | My Self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
