Jigga Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 People's creativity never ceases to amaze me. Some of those kids' designs are better than the agency creations!

quantum Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Two of those agencies should be embarrassed by their submissions. Down right amateurish. I really didn't see anything that was better than what they already have. But I agree, it is fun to see what people come up with.

Jigga Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Someone should post about 5-7 of 'em and then we can vote or something...or not, but some of them are damn good On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.

Chief. Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Two of those agencies should be embarrassed by their submissions. Down right amateurish. I really didn't see anything that was better than what they already have. But I agree, it is fun to see what people come up with. I know, check out the first set of designs and look at the agencies designs. The dolphin has flames coming out of the back of him. And the rest look constipated. The individual designs are much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebod39 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 the "professional" stuff really stinks. The other stuff is better in some ways.The one agency GOUTHIER design, looks like they just learned how touse typestyler or vector effects, what horrible typography.

cyandlux Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 The Propeller stuff was the best. All the Pro stuff needs a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Bottom line? Nothing that was submitted - amateur or professional - comes close to being better than what the Dolphins already utilize as a logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Sorry but the Dolphins are another team that is just fine the way they are. I put them in the same group as Dallas, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, etc. Nice traditional helmets and unis that need no "updating" or "re-imagining." A tweak here or there (jerseys & pants) is OK but leave the main concept alone. IMHO The Dolphins have one of the best helmets in football.

Gothamite Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Bottom line? Nothing that was submitted - amateur or professional - comes close to being better than what the Dolphins already utilize as a logo. Too true. What kills me is that the paper calls the current logo "corny" and presents all these dolphins-on-steriods as being "flat-out cool, true battle flags."What, was the guy who wrote this article eleven?

teenchy Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Bottom line? Nothing that was submitted - amateur or professional - comes close to being better than what the Dolphins already utilize as a logo. Agreed, though I got a chuckle out of the "Ricky Williams smoking a blunt" dolphin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epiphanic Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I say this as a Dolphin fan. I like a great many of these logos. However, I don't see them well on a helmet or replacing the current logo. Throughout the years that helmet has remaind relatively unchanged. Only periodically going under slight makeovers. I agree with infrared, in saying that Miami's current look is traditional. And I love the look. Especially the orange jerseys. "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed."I tweet & tumble.

tajmccall Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 THat Goutheir design could be the single worst agency-created concept in the history of time.Wow. Nice eyes, did you just take that from a bird you made for something else. Way to mail it in on the body. It looks like something the fine folks at Trapper Keeper would reject for their 1989 series.Pathetic. Store 1 Store 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therebelas Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I like the one by the 11 year old kid from Key Biscayne. I really like the fin inside of a circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I wrote a letter to the editor of the New Times and they want to publish my letter in response to their Dolphins logo, however, they want my full name. Read what I wrote, then tell me if I should let them use my name or not.To Whom It May Concern:I think it's great to see the creativity of the community in coming up with anew identity for the Miami Dolphins, but the fact is there's nothing goofy aboutthe current design. If the Dolphins logo is goofy then what about the FloridaGators, the FSU Seminoles, the not-so-threatening Marlin that the FloridaMarlins use? How does a flaming basketball strike fear into the heart of otherNBA teams that come to play the Miami Heat? The only ferocious logo SouthFlorida has is that of the NHL's Florida Panthers who regularly don't make theplayoffs anyway.Is the logo of the New York Jets scary? No. How about the logo of the GreenBay Packers? It's just a big G! My point is that when it comes down to it, insports, the most important thing is tradition. By redoing the entire makeup ofthe Miami Dolphins you ruin that tradition. In some cases a new look works(i.e. New England Patriots or the Denver Broncos) but usually fans look at itlike, "What were they thinking?" The Dolphins logo is known by fans across thenation, and I don't think anyone should mess with that kind of familiarity,tradition, and reputation. In the end, that's what strikes fear into the heartof opposing teams. Well, that and Jason Taylor running full blast at theirquarterback.Ryan "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 wow thats some impressive stuff... i hope this leads to a new identity for the Dolphins it won't.1. The Dolphins updated all their stuff in 97. I doubt they would change this soon. It hasn?t even been 10 years yet.2. More importantly they can't use any of this stuff. The NFL cannot use unsolicited work, which all of this stuff is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
