WavePunter Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The dolphins' logo at midfield looks awkwardly centered.. I realize the tail sticks out of the sunburst more than the nose, but the sunburst should really be centered on the 50-yardline, rather than the entire logo as a whole.. The differences between the length of the nose and tail are visually negligible, so throwing off the balance of the entire logo to account for it looks very awkward..

jgiff17 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I think it's so the logo can be bigger. If they centered the burst then the have to downsize the logo so the fin wouldn't go past the 42 yard line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 Is the 42-yardline thing a rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandMooreArt Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 you're right Wave, the logo should be centered on the sun. here's how we align it in all creative. GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgiff17 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Care must be exercised in any end zone marking, decoration, or club identification at the 50-yard line, that said marks or decorations do not in any way cause confusion as to delineation of goal lines, sidelines, and end lines. Such markings or decorations must be approved by the Commissioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgiff17 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Guess the 42 is not a rule at least in 2015 but it seem to be what the commish will agree to. Atlanta has to be one of the largest midfield logos and it goes from 42 to 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me a few minutes to figure out why it looked so awkward.. Maybe you could pass the word along to the grounds crew ? Edit: we posted at the same time, so I missed your explanation regarding the 42.. My biggest issue with it is that it punishes teams with long, slender logos, while teams with taller, thinner logos could get away with a much larger midfield logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 The Buccaneers' and the 49ers' mid-field logos go past the 42. So it's not a rule (written or unwritten). I think it's just coincidence that nearly all of the logos are painted within the 42s. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

jgiff17 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Bucs with outlines 41 I guess 49ers 42. I thought it was weird but it seems to be something. I'm just guessing that's why the dolphins did it like that so they could take up the whole space "allowed" I know we should have some insider somewhere in here that could give us a solid reasoning behind the choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgiff17 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Bucs might get some lead way so they can cover up the USF logo completely since the new flag seems slightly thinner than the old one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I am glad to see that's the branding policy for the Dolphins. Too many companies/teams/whatevers have logos that have one side heavy/dominant versus the other, but the logo is centered using the exact middle point. It's much more pleasing to use the middle point of the weight of the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sec19Row53 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 The G at Lambeau stretches from 44 to 44 (yellow outline, that is). Here's kickoff yesterday. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgiff17 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 At least for the first game they had a small logo that was easily covered up with buc flag. Also I've noticed looking through tons of images that the endzone word art has decreased due to the decrease in the bucs new endzone art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgiff17 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I like the huge logos like the Texans have gone to with the new turf. I think the Titans should go the route the dolphins have and enlarge the logo and center the logo rather than make the circular part of their logo at the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Similar, this reminds me of how the Marlins original cap logo was off-centered in the first few seasons and then adjusted in later years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, this is the usual field for games the past few seasons.. If they don't paint it over, it also allows for a smaller cutout piece of sod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
