LogoFan Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Wow...it's been literally years since I last posted a concept...probably the New York Jets about 7 years ago. Anyway, as the San Diego version of the Chargers are now gone, I have at long last adopted my home team support. Their current look really bothers me...I love the logo but hate the uniforms. I didn't start out to redesign the logo, but as I was working on this concept, it just sorta happened. Anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahowe6464 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Looks great. Has the classic feel with the modern touch. Full uni set coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplashBoogie Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 That's a field ready look for the Falcons. Can't wait to see your take on the uniforms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Combines the best of both logos. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicfurth Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 That's a really great mashing of eras. Did you try it with a silver stroke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 This is awesome. Perfect blend of both logos. If they were to use this in real life, it could stick around for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henburg Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I love this, truly the perfect marriage of eras. I'd be interested in seeing it with a silver outline as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogoFan Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thanks for the kind words everyone. I was working on an updated/modern uniform design, but the more I thought about the way the logo turned out, the more I think it needs something more traditional. Uniforms have never been my strong suit, but I will post them once I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Now THAT'S how you update the throwback! Beautifully done. Much, much better and more dignified than the jacked-bird. I dont intend to throw "best I've ever seen" around, but that truly is the best Falcons logo concept I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogoFan Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Some folks asked about an outline....here are the outline and helmet color tests I did. Regarding 3A & #B...I am thinking more of a matte gray shell vs silver just to give it some distinction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially like the black helmet/red outline combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Try 1B, but with gold instead of silver, as a throwback to the original red helmets.. Also, I really like 3A.. Don't know if it's right for the Falcons, but it's a good looking helmet nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Squared Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 The way you stylized the head really makes this logo pop - the original is frankly not done well and the new version is too detailed... you found the perfect balance! I would personally like a red helmet with a borderless logo My TeePublic Shop My Instagram Art Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 1C, 2C, and 4A all look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenD Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 2C and then 1C are definitely my two favorites. I've wanted to see what the two logos would look like combined and you did a great job. Looking forward to the uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerlonmoura Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Make the silver outline just a bit thinner and you got a winner there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogoFan Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Well, sometimes projects take you in a different direction than you had in mind at the outset and this one sure did that. I wanted to update the Falcon's look but as I started working on it, I realized it had real potential to go with a more old-school yet updated look. I think most folks liked having an outline with the logo and after numerous comparisons, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
