patsox Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 LOL, that really is what it looks like. I always thought the head looked weird and statue-like, but couldn't put my finger on why. But that's it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDFanBoy619 Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 All the updates so far have been top notch. Well done. I only have one request. Could we get a cleaner version of this logo? I am mulling over that one (the 90's-era Chargers shield with horse) because I am not sure if it was officially released by the team or if it's just a fan creation. I do recall seeing it at the stadium, just doing more research at the moment. Fire me your email address and I will render it in Illustrator and send ya an EPS and PDF of it if you like.-- Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 in addition to the one IC posted, i'm curious about these two chargers logos were they official alternates by the team? Also is there any plans on cleaning them up with the correct colors? Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 That logo would be ok if there were the New England Manofthemountainpatriots.All the more reason to use it, then. I think it's a tremendous logo, best the Patriots have (n)ever had. It takes the elements of the Flying Elvis--minuteman face, American flag--and makes them not suck. I can't wait to see the concepts roll in for this logo. What could've been. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably will though, and yes.. like the rest of NFL section, they will be re-rendered from scratch in Illustrator to match the others.-- Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 The community quarterback ones are kind of useless, but keep the memorial logos. The Bears' "GSH" is technically a memorial logo, and dropping that would be silly.IS THIS THE PATRIOTS LOGO THAT EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT THE ONE THAT WAS BOOED ON THE FIELDYOU'VE FOUND THE RAREST GEMI never saw that logo beforeMy dad was at the game they unveiled that.I've never seen/head of this before either.

The_Admiral Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I've never seen/head of this before either. Did this occur the same year they switched to 'Elvis'?There was a game in the late '70s, early '80s where the Patriots did a fan survey regarding the replacement of Pat Patriot. They brought out this conceptual logo and the extant logo on, I dunno, bedsheets or something, and had the crowd cheer for the one they preferred. They overwhelmingly preferred crappy old Pat Patriot, and so it stuck around for years. Until now, nobody who told this story could ever supply the alternative, describing it only as "a strange sort of proto-Flying Elvis" or something to that effect. Clearly, this is that, and it's now quite apparent that that batch of Foxborough Stadium attendees were totally clueless, because this logo is awesome. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I'm not sure I'd go as far as to call it awesome. Actually, yes - I am sure I wouldn't go that far. Regardless, it bears enough resemblance to Elvis that it's clear where the inspiration comes from. I'd say that the kid who posted on here that his brother or cousin or whatever designed Elvis and had it stolen is pretty much full of it.EDIT: by "it" I mean crap.

The_Admiral Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Well, as far as Patriots logos go, I think it's pretty awesome. Of course, I think Pat Patriot and Flying Elvis rank among the all-time worst NFL logos, and the latter also represents the most odious sports team of our lifetimes. So there's that. I had to pump up the old Boston Patriots' tricorner hat as their best logo because they've been so bereft of anything good. And yes, this really punctures that one guy's claims of having drawn Flying Elvis. If I drew Flying Elvis, I'd shirk the credit off on someone else. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
