Dboi2001 18 Posted May 1, 2018 Which logo do you prefer? The classic 1976 logo or the more modern and updated logo from the 2000s-present? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IceCap 22,567 Posted May 1, 2018 I prefer the classic one. Anyway this thread can remain open if it remains civil. @Dboi2001 please keep that in mind going forward. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilben777 157 Posted May 1, 2018 I like the middle one, if for only the shade of “ cobalt” blue that was the primary color of the home jersey. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Akronite- 1,712 Posted May 1, 2018 You can make arguments about the colors and how they choose to balance them, but they refined the design and the current logo is the best IMO. I have conflicted feelings about their minimal use of neon green, especially when you have a primarily navy logo going on a navy helmet. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I view the original Seahawks logo much like I view the original Dolphins logo. An accurate reflection of the area’s art style, warts and all. They both have a bit of kitsch and whimsy that, in my opinion, are lacking from the NFL these days. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gothamite 24,469 Posted May 1, 2018 4 minutes ago, Ice_Cap said: It’s more reflective of the Native art it’s based on than either of the two modern versions. And that’s why I prefer the original. That and the bright color scheme. The updates are all trying too hard to be tough and “kewl”. The harder they strain, the less effective they are. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carolingian Steamroller 3,394 Posted May 1, 2018 I tend to like the leading edge of the beak better in the classic version. Seems thicker and bolder. Also I like the proportions being more square and less slanted. The more indigenous eye also looks better to me since I love that style of art. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carolingian Steamroller 3,394 Posted May 1, 2018 The original isn't perfect by any means. Some of the lines could be thickened. However I think the new ones are a little too stylized and veer too far away from the original Kwakwaka'wakw design. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cardsblues02 674 Posted May 1, 2018 The older one is personally my favorite. The new one is okay, I prefer the green, sliver and blue to the double blue that they used for a bit (middle one). But overall, they were going for a Pacific Northwest feel and the accomplished this the best in the old logo. I love that old logo, even though the uniforms are not my favorite. I get why they updated it, but the old Hawk, to me, is worlds better. Anyone remember that old Seahawks alternate logo, the flying bird? Yeah, I like that better than the 2 new ones. Now THAT was a logo. Overall though, the original in this case is superior. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayMac 3,870 Posted May 1, 2018 Although I like all 3 logos, the classic is my favorite by far. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee Noire 627 Posted May 1, 2018 I’m actually a big fan of the current logo overall. I just wish it had the original logo’s colors. I’m with Cap that logos don’t need to be intimidating to be a good sports logo. However I much prefer what the Dolphins and the Seahawks have now over the old stuff. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
