Lee Noire Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 So, I guess it's too late to do this?Something like this would've been perfect. Keeps the helmet imagery, but also looks more like a logo and not an illustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it funny that nobody uses that template anymore, because it's such an outdated template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HailGoldPants Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Perhaps this has been mentioned, but why couldn't they use a helmet with a more modern mask for their logo? That facemask hasn't been worn in at least 20 years and it screams WLAF. This would have been an a much better option IMO....

Lee Noire Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Here is the interview with Alec Scheiner giving some insight on the logos:http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2015/02/how_the_cleveland_browns_spent.htmlThere is a clash of ideals here when he says he didn't want to change the helmet logo because it would be a "radical departure" but wants the uniforms to be "cutting edge." I also love how he embraces that they are the only team still using that template for a logo. That's not a good thing Alec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That facemask hasn't been worn in at least 20 years and it screams WLAF. This would have been an a much better option IMO....Because it looks bad. The old helmet might be outdated but it's what most people think of when they imagine a football helmet. Also as someone pointed out helmets are so over designed for trademarks that the Browns would probably have to license the use. Someone else said it above and I wondered it aloud a couple of pages ago, why not just use a LOGO of an old vintage style helmet and not an ILLUSTRATION of one. All of the concepts I saw that did that looked pretty good and matched the classic imagery they're going for by using their helmet as a logo.

That facemask hasn't been worn in at least 20 years and it screams WLAF. This would have been an a much better option IMO....Because that helmet is identifiable as a specific helmet from a specific manufacturer. The generic template they use is outdated, but unowned by any one else. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1409 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Mockup by Michael Brenkus.If the new helmet actually looks like that, I say upgrade.It is looking very good. This shade of orange should look awesome with dark brown jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 The idea of a helmet for a logo could work. It's not the idea itself that's bad, it's what they used to execute it.Some design base that's unique to them alone, up-to-date with today's style of branding...that could work. I don't know how many times this concept has been brought up, but it fixes everything just about right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fit the years 1987-1992, and that's about it.As others a few other pointed out, it seems to be more about being trademark free and model neutral.

Midway Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 The new Browns helmet appears to look even more similar to that of the in-state rival now. Bravo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chawls Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 So based on the new font, can we guess what the numbers will look like? I'm guessing the same font LSU and Ole Miss use on their football jerseys. Quote If you hadn't noticed, Chawls loves his wrestling, whether it be real life or sim.
