Quillz Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I was browsing a site similar to this that has a number of various sports logos, when I came across a New England Patriots alternate logo I've never seen before. (Sorry about the huge size.)My question is, is this even considered an official logo? I've never seen this logo used on any official merchandise, but some sports sites like ESPN do seem to use this. (Or at least they tilt the primary logo so that it has the same angle as this one.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-(dp)- Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 It looks to me like someone's bad attempt at vectorizing the primary logo. There would be no point in having an 'alternate' with such minor differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be no point in having an 'alternate' with such minor differences.I dunno if I'd call it a bad attempt. And there are some rather obvious differences between the two logos, such as this one lacking almost any kind of curve at the top part of the head.

Quillz Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Okay, so I took the official primary logo and rotated it so that it has about the same angle as the unofficial logo that I found...I actually think the logo looks better rotated at this angle. I think it gives it more "motion" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmhtfld Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 yeah i think its just a bad tracelook at the spacing between the blue and red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 yeah i think its just a bad tracelook at the spacing between the blue and redLooking at it again, I do see the spacing you're talking about.With the primary logo, I found I could replicate the sharp angle of the white keyline by upping the stroke to 40px. I think that looks better than having rounded borders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'll always hate this logo. Put it next to other logos, and the shape makes for a whole lot of white space. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they're wider than they are tall, it makes for a lot of wasted white space.That's one of the nice things about the old "Pat Patriot" logo... No white space.

meetthemets Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 You've got to be hallucinating if you think this is anything more than someone's attempt to vectorize the Pats logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 You've got to be hallucinating if you think this is anything more than someone's attempt to vectorize the Pats logo.No, I thought it was some kind of unused/unofficial logo, since a lot of NFL teams (the Panthers come to mind) tend to have a lot of alternate logos that see very little use.

Most of the time, these tend to be unofficial marks, or logos that are no longer used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed the logo I had found was perhaps something the Patriots used a long time ago but no longer use.Obviously, it's not, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grubby Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 My brother made this logo. Originally there was no face color. It was all blue except for the star. Same shape and stripes. Just feel so bad it was stolen from him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
