AJM Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 38 is the worst in my book. I agree there are some bad ones, but there are also some great ones. I don't think a mix of good and bad should result in a "branded" logo used each year. I understand that the league is utilizing more recognizable branding in logos and trophies...I get marketing and branding, but at the cost of creativity...not worth it.

crashcarson15 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I agree with XL!! being the best of the post-XL ones, since it's the only one that somewhat represents the area (state of Arizona's outline). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEANS Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 you guys crack me up saying these current logos are the worst, have any of you looked at the early ones?!?! Yeah Super Bowl II is a freaking masterpiece.....Super Bowl V and VII and the same dam logo, just tweaked a bit...switched "E's" and add a drop shadow.... the early ones are bad as well, but I do agree about the themed logos, as soon as I see one i remember the game immediately. https://www.andrewsterlachini.com/ or http://dribbble.com/MEANS1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survival79 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'll give it thru XLIX for this pase and then the do something different starting with 50.I agree. I think the NFL will realize that just an L under a huge logo would look dumb.I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL used XXXXX.

I'm sure you can look at the evolution of logos/design in general and see similar trends.

rcb05 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Those of us who frequent this board (logo enthusiasts as much as we are sports enthusiasts), are not the ones that this change is intended for. While we can look at each Super Bowl logo and remember the game it was associated with, many sports fans or people in general could not. At first glance they might not even recognize it as a Super Bowl logo. The NFL is looking to "brand" the event, so that as soon as ANYONE sees this logo, even from a distance, they immediately know that it's for the Super Bowl. I can't say it's a horrible strategy.I'm like you guys, I looked forward to seeing the new logo every year and loved the regional flair often put into them. However from a marketing perspective, this new system makes more sense in establishing brand recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Design tools have improved, we can disagree as to whether that's really such a good thing (gradients, anyone?). The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

1990hornet Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I've said it before, this "system" likely won't last too long. Give it five or six years before they go back to unique Super Bowl logos.I'll give it thru XLIX for this pase and then the do something different starting with 50.I agree. I think the NFL will realize that just an L under a huge logo would look dumb.Like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
