buckeyecal Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Just going over the online edition of the SB 50 game program (hozinc.com/sb50/). And on pg. 257 of the magazine, caught a glimpse of SBLI logo. I'ts not like the template of SB XLV-XLIX. It's been tweaked. The roman numerals are on either side of the trophy and SUPER BOWL is underneath, similar to SB50 logo and it has a touch of color....so if anyone was interested to check it out and possibly scan it so everyone could see....Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fouhy12 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I like that a lot better than if they were below. I like the touch of red too, but that could just be for this. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHcreative Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 It's... better? I dunno, I'm getting sick of this standardization of Super Bowl logos. I do like how the "LI" is on top of "Super Bowl," however. It would be terribly unbalanced if it were on the bottom. EDIT: Come to think of it, it does look a little odd with the Lombardi trophy awkwardly positioned between the L and I. Lateral move, really.

Old School Fool Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Smart move to change it up a bit. The original style was definitely not going to work for LI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBolt3 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Ehhhhh.... I get the standardization of the Super Bowl logos. The last few were not executed the right way, but the secondary logos were almost perfection, especially last year's. You can honestly use the same font(s) every year, change up the stylization depending on the location, and call it a day. The chromed out logos had the right idea, but the reliance on gradients killed them. The flat versions had potential, but still needed an identifying color scheme for the host city. This new logo is fine, at best. They actually have color that represents Houston. The Texans wear red! That's great! But other than that, it's not really that spectacular. The gradients, once again, give it a sterile look, that kinda works for a possible space theme, but there's little character from it. I'm sure some city imagery will be in the logo, but if not, woof. This way of standardization will be tough to endure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Next year's Super Bowl logo is almost always leaked/unveiled in the SB program guide. If I had to guess, this is likely it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that's at least a good thing, since they will have to change things up year to year. I like not knowing what the logo will look like year to year, even though it will always be a variation of bad with the current template, but better than the same old thing.

Sykotyk Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I think one of the biggest issues with the standardized logos was just how horrendous they looked without the stadium motif. The lombardi trophy just too too much space up top. By putting the 50 behind/around the trophy, the deadspace in the logo goes away and looks more compact. The color variation actually really heightens this year's logo, as well. So, putting the numbers, arabic or roman, around the trophy or behind/infront of the trophy looks better. It could easily be: L I L II L III L IV L V L VI LV II LV III L IX L X L XI LX II LX III LX IV LX V LX VI LX VII LX VIII LX IX LX X LX XI LX XII LX XIII It gets a tad unruly after that. Personally, I"m against them. But, the idea of reintroducing the importance of the number helps placate me. The Super Bowl, each one, becomes an event. It's number is part of its name. As a sports fan, you can tell me Super Bowl 35 and I can tell you instantly Ravens-Giants in Tampa. If you ask me '1998 World Series' I have no clue. Because there's no reinforcement of the year or number the way the NFL has had for decades. The number makes the game. And not to say that MLB doesn't reference the year, but they tend to do so in such meager fashion. I remember the Diamondbacks-Yankees World Series with Randy Johnson closing out the series, but for the life of me I couldn't tell you what year it was without looking it up. Or which series was before or after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 It's got color, so it's already an improvement to me. However, I'll still consider the alternate Super Bowl logos as the "true" logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logoroy Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Ugh... I like the fact that they added color, but I mean come on, It looks really goofy. The Lombardi trophy in the middle, at first glance, gives it the illusion that it's really LII and not LI. There's too much space as well between the roman numerals and the Lombardi trophy. Overall it's an ever-so slight improvement just because they added color, but it's still the same bland generic logo we've seen the past 5 years now.

Now, if it were the Indians, I could tell you they lost to Atlanta 4-2 in 95 and 4-3 to Florida in 97. But that's because it's my team. Other teams, I might remember a particularly remarkable series (such as the ARI-NYY series there), but it's just one of many. In the NFL, the Super Bowl IS it's own thing. Each one identifiable. MLB doesn't pound the number or year into your head the way the NFL does. Which helps keep it in your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm in the minority then, but I'll always remember that Series two months after 9/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally don't remember sports championships in correlation to world events. I'll always remember the Denver Broncos hosted the New York Giants on Monday Night Football the day before 9/11 and Ed McCaffrey suffered a bad injury. I watched that game. Then went to sleep a few hours later and woke shortly after the second tower collapsed. So, that's ingrained. But, that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe color supplants the regional stadium logo. If so, it's Purple for SB52 in Minnesota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
