BuddyLane Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I was surfing the net yesterday when I found this logo on istockphoto.com. There are some pretty cool logos there. Just wanted to see if anyone else checks out that site.Thanks.Buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Wow.That's not bad at all. It's certainly better than what Phoenix does.Or Gameplan (if they ever did anything besides bitch). Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSparks1 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 It's a little busy, with all the shading, but better than what New England currently uses.Better than what New England currently uses? That logo isn't conducive to a football helmet like the "Flying Elvis". That logo reminds me of George Washington or UMass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Yep, better than what New England uses.I think the Elvis is too horizontal for a football helmet - it wraps too far around the helmet to be really effective to my eyes.This is perhaps too much in the other direction - too vertical - but I still like it more than the Elvis.

andrewharrington Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 It's just too detailed, and there are too many colors. Eleven colors. Are you kidding me?

leedsunited Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 It's a little busy, with all the shading, but better than what New England currently uses.I wouldn't go that far, Gothamite! These logos look almost high-school esque. Or a bad college logo from that cookie-cutter design shop that seems to churn these out like so much product.Yeah, Flying Elvis aint that great, but he's better than this.

SabreGuy Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 It would only take a little tweaking to turn that in to a good logo, and it's at least as good as Flying Elvis as is.

Shumway Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 As already mentioned, there are far too many colors used, but in all actuality, not half bad at all. I wouldn't say it's better than the flying elvis, but it'd be a great fit for a minor league franchise. It's got that cartoony feel that a minor league baseball logo might have.

gingerbreadmann Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Bias aside, I'd still go with Elvis. This is more suitable for college, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Change the colors slightly, and I think it would be an excellent logo for George Mason.

andrewharrington Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I don't share the disdain often seen for the Patriots' logo. It's so simple, so effective and I love the way it wraps around a football helmet, like the Seahawks' do it. It's absolutely perfect for football, and it's such a great simplified rendering of a revolutionary soldier combined with the movement of a waving flag. It's really great.

BuddyLane Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 I don't share your view of the Patriots logo. I think the "flying Elvis" looks like corpse falling from a plane. I am not trying to upset Patriot fans by saying that. I never liked that logo. I always thought it looked like a corpse and I think that the Patriots need to bury it 6 feet under. As far as cartoon logos go, the Patriots previous logo was cartoonish, but it had character. The patriot had a smirk on his face. With the success of the Patriots franchise today, I think that logo is more deserving of being on the Patriots helmet now. The NFL has too many letter head logos. I expect to see most of the NFL logos on company's business letters, not on a pro helmet. I think better logos would bring in more fans and raise revenue of merchandise sales. RIP flying Elvis.

The logo posted isn't.That being said, Pat Patriot is one of my all time top-5 favorite logos, so yeah, i'd love to see that guy return. Ain't happenin, though.

I just don't see why this logo brings out so much disdain from everyone. I've loved it since the day it was introduced. I also don't see the whole 'Elvis' thing, though I think its kind of amusing to think that if he were alive he'd be a Pats fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I just don't see why this logo brings out so much disdain from everyone. I've loved it since the day it was introduced.I'll grant that it's worlds better than Hikin' Pat. But it just doesn't fit on a football helmet, and that's a major design flaw. Doesn't help that they put it so far back.Horizontal logos can work - the Broncos' logo is about the only thing I like in their identity package - but this one just doesn't.
