SilverBullet1929 Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 1 hour ago, Marlins93 said: They are just too plain. The wordmark is too black. And is the shade of blue in the pinstripes even the same in the accenting? Maybe it's an illusion but they look different. Also, wouldn't the concept on the left look much better if the wordmark were solid blue and the number were mostly black? Then again, it doesn't seem likely that we get any kind of wordmark with color outside of the accenting. These are just a friend of mine throwing ideas together in his down time as a way to visualize some guesses. A lot of it is random ideas to see what looks good and what doesn't. It's just for fun and the final product could be some of these ideas or all of them or none of them. Nobody knows yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Seems if they simply rendered the Marlin with a two tone (lighter on the bottom) like was seen on the original, it would help the muddied look. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 9 hours ago, Gothamite said: Which is why many teams, from the Red Sox to Rockies to Brewers, are adopting their cap logos as primary logos. The more-complicated versions just aren’t as necessary as they once were. In this era of phone screens and social media, simpler and smaller logos are more important. 1 hour ago, Dolphins Dynasty said: While I think it's best for teams to go in that direction, it's still a shame that'd we have to see some of the better primaries go away. The Yankees and Mets are some of my favorites, with the Uncle Sam hat on a bat and the city skyline in a baseball. Those logos won't go away. They just might not be at the top of their Wikipedia entries. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 The pinstriped one isn't bad, but I'd rather the wordmark be blue and the stripes be black. Number can stay black.

seasaltvanilla Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Also the M just stops where the marlin overlaps. So when you compare the logo with the wordmark it looks like the top left point just got chopped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the top left point of the M was not good because it was way higher and more erect than the right side but now, when the fish isn't there, we see that the top of the M is actually normal and the high point was only the top fin of the fish. I think that's one of those "little things/quirks that you love" that gets posted in a thread on a forum like ours. Its perfect to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the pointy M doesn't go along the rounded "iami" at all. It looks cheap as :censored:... I said the same thing on another forum - the serif, more blocky/pointy M doesn't fit with the curved, sans serif "iami", and the first "i" not having a tail looks odd - it looks disconnected from the M. 10 hours ago, Marlins93 said: It's definitely not pink. And I still don't understand why some people were eager for pink to begin with. They are definitely similar in some ways, but the executions deviate quite a bit. In the Miami script, the odd transition between the first and second characters is far too glaring. Pink and a light blue is the typical Miami Vice (and therefore Miami) look, that's why we were suspecting it may be pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins93 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm from South Florida and am baffled by this recent obsession with Miami Vice. The color in the logo borders on pink, but isn't. Overall, I don't see anything "Miami" in the new look. It just looks like clip art from 1998 with the monochrome color scheme and generic cursive in the wordmark.

BBTV Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 There's no way there's not a white keyline around the whole thing (and filling in the ball) when on colored backgrounds.

I could not disagree more. Nor do I agree that the neon figures on the side of Shea could ever inspire “apathy and indifference.” Your comparison is apt, which is why I’m coming around on this design.
