Jigga Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I cannot believe that a high profile team in the richest league in the country would resort to a contest on their website to create a secondary logo. A logo from which they have the intent of making themselves some cash. This is a damn disgrace. Warden Goodell needs to step in and do something about this.

Mac the Knife Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 You could think that, but another school of thought is "What a resume builder!"But yeah, Greg, it's disgraceful how little they're offering here. There's cheap out of necessity, and then there's just cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I smell something fishy. This is too minor league to be straight. Aye. What's the catch?$1,000 + season tickets to the winner. That's rediculous by NFL standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesL Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 At least they're not getting rid of the horseshoe logo, and changing their uniforms. What the Colts have now is pristine. But I might give it a whirl anyhow, just for kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I think it's a great way for the fans to get involved, but I feel the winner should receive a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmered Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 So it's fun, and it's strong. Sounds like someone's up for a makeover.But' it just doesn't say Colts to me. Is it a horse or a unicorn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riccirulesall Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 We've got this new demonic, blue horse sculpture here at our airport here in Denver:It's really swell. That thing's even freaky in the daytime. There's an exact replica in Nebraska or something. But yah, I passed that Bronco from hell many times.

Shumway Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Crap, I better get to the requests thread before anyone else requests a Colt logo...for a....um...fantasy football team. Suckers. I'm gonna get your $1,000 clams and season tickets, which I won't use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernWebb04 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 All I have to say, after being on these boards for months now watching the talent. If someone from this community doesn't win this contest, it's a damn shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewbanpimp Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 This is certainly better than sending it to some corporate design firm that will produce another sterile, soulless design. At least the fan who designs it - and hopefully more Colts fans - will have ownership and pride in this logo as a result of this process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'll gladly take $1000 (to pay off a bit of my student loan) the portfolio piece and season tickets. I'm not sure how I'm going to get from Southern California to Indianapolis for all the home games, but I'd gladly take it. It does beg the question for all those bitching about the amount being given, how many of you have designed a professional logo? We sit here and criticize logos and yet the opportunity to get our foots in the proverbial door of professional sports is there, and you bitch about the amount of money? I'm looking at this as a designer and who the freak cares how little I'd get paid, sometimes bragging rights to people around you can make you just as happy as a larger chunk of money. Some of this is sarcasm, but the opportunity shouldn't be taken lightly. No one ever became popular without the opportunity given to them by someone. And hey, this may not lead to a job in the sports industry, but if it leads to another job, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
