connriv Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 So, it turns out a co-worker of mine is related to the person who did the Texans design and the Falcons, Bengals and Cardinals re-designs:http://www.verlanderdesign.com/sports.htmlShe says this kind of work isn't very lucrative. which is strange, considering all the money the NFL has. I wonder if the NFL considers a design/redesign a prestige job that doesn't have to pay well? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Interesting that he is the one who did the Falcons' logo. It was also interesting to see his version of the new NFL shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I like things about his NFL shield, but if he's going to simplify the stars to represent league divisions, why choose nine stars?

BallWonk Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I like things about his NFL shield, but if he's going to simplify the stars to represent league divisions, why choose nine stars?"I like things about his NFL shield" perfectly describes my own response. I also don't like some things about it, but I definitely do like some things ...Anyway, the stars: I immediately saw it as one star for each division, arranged in two groups of four for each conference, with another star at the top for the whole league. I don't know if that was the intent, but that's how it reads to me on first glance.Which makes sense, just like how the U.S. flag has one star for each state, plus one for the federal government.**Not actually true.

Chazberg Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 That Verlander shield beats the living Bejesus out of the current one! That is everything the redesign needed to be-it keeps the flourish on the L, the type still follows the bottom of the shield, the stars are simplified.... man that thing woulda been perfect. Now I hate the current updated shield even more. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 That take on the NFL logo is miles better than the current, the old one.It looks great as part of the NFL Draft logo under the 'Calendar' section.They do great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I can't believe that someone doing business with a corporate entity the size of the National Football League doesn't know how to correctly spell the word caricature. I mean... "characature"? Really?That said, I'm a fan of Verlander's work on behalf of the Cardinals, Falcons and Texans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Did this up for those (like me) who like to compare things:IMO the league clearly picked the best one. There are a lot of cool features about the Verlander one, but with all it's curves and effects on the fonts, it just doesn't look NFL caliber to me.

chestnutz Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I say get rid of the 9th star and use the football in the 2008 official one, and Verlander's is awesome. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The serif on the N intrudes too much on the white space to work for me. And I'm not a fan of the curves. Doesn't really work, especially when they cut the points off the white outline.

Jigga Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 The Verlander proposal ain't doing it for me at all. I don't like the NFL's new typeface, but it certainly works better than the mishmash in the proposal. This dude is truly talented though. The Texans identity is one of the best in sports history, and his custom scripts are stellar, if not absolutely outstanding.

McCall Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 The type treatment is almost too soft. Possibly from the abrupt endings and cut-offs, as well as the slight arch in the logo, making it look a bit fluffy. It's not a bad logo, it just lacks the that certain something that would put it over the edge to greatness.I get a "UPS" logo vibe with the Verlander one. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
