andrewharrington Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I can see the local bank logo now that you say it, but only because we've never had the chance to fully associate it with the Patriots, or anything, really. So what's your case for whichever Patriots logo you prefer?From the standpoint of merchandise, Flying Elvis is terrible because it's so asymmetrical that it always looks bad when it's placed in a symmetrical spot, such as the center chest of a shirt, or when it's locked up with text above or below it. On the other hand, it's a great helmet logo because of the fact that it has a clear focal point in the head but has a great quality in the flag that covers and flows nicely with the curves of the helmet.

Lights Out Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Maybe, as a compromise, they should use this logo as the de facto primary......and then continue to use the Elvis on uniforms. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 So what's your case for whichever Patriots logo you prefer?Frankly, I've never felt that any of the Patriots' logos was particularly strong. They all have relative "strengths" and they all have glaring weaknesses. * The "Pat Patriot" logo was very much a product of its time and clearly exhibits the fact that it was designed by a 1950s newspaper cartoonist. That said, ever since the Miami Dolphins modernized/streamlined their mark, I've wondered what it might look like if the Patriots hired someone to do the same to "Pat". I'm sure that merchandising partners would bemoan the fact that, even modernized, the "Pat Patriot" logo would be difficult to reproduce in small size.* The "Flying Elvis" is too asymmetrical to ever look truly good rendered in an environment that demands symmetry, but it does work on the team's helmets.

The_Admiral Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Someone here did a modernized Pat Patriot that I think we all agreed was the best job anyone could do with tthat thing. And it was good, yeah, but the fundamental premise of a hiking minuteman just isn't something I can get on board with, I guess. It's no more absurd than a dolphin in a football helmet, and yet that's a lasting mark that can withstand various iterations. Probably because the Dolphins were a powerhouse and the Patriots were a clown college. Ah well.Flying Elvis looks good, but not great, on a helmet. Even though the face is a clear focal point, it's a pretty uninspiring face. I will give you that it follows the contour of the helmet nicely. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Oh good lord Chapeeko, fans throughout the BILLS chat at that time, and Fan-TV on Empire Sports Network call-in were dreading the notion of using that logo, even as it was considered as a proposed secondary logo. There was a big uproar at the time, haha.I don't understand the hate for that logo, it looks far better than the Buffalo paired with a Tron streak...

The_Admiral Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I like that one better as a primary. I like having the city name's first initial represented in the primary somehow, kind of a counterpart to the Calgary Flames. I've no problem with the team's logo appearing decapitated because lol the Canucks suck ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Came across this today. It's fom 2006.

LogoFan Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I've always been partial to the Baltimore Bombers:They also had a good secondary. Nice uniforms to boot, in light of it being the early 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom one is a leak of the Ducks Edge logo, and the top one is one of the finalists that didn't make the cut.How they decided to use the script over that top logo is completely beyond me. That would have made a fine logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Sure would have. Much better than what they settled on. Since I was reminded of it on another thread, I love this Leafs logo:From the distinctive font to the clearly-defined points, so much better than the current one in every respect.

OldRamsFan Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 As far as that winged-shield logo they used to use...did someone say "lawsuit"?? That winged-shield was a horrible logo, which makes it all the more perplexing that they stole the idea. If you are going to steal someone's design, at least steal a good one.What? I love the Winged shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedawg22 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 This is EASILY one of my favorite SB logo designs...but it's completely understandable why it was replaced. This could be re-issued for SB XLVII or XLVIII for their next go-round in 2012-13[if we get theNFL this year or possibly the next].It could... except that the NFL has gone to the generic slick silver logos for every Super Bowl for the foreseeable future. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

Jared222 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 If you level out the Bison head a bit and maybe make it an outline and not a solid and realistic look it would have been impressive I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 It's not unused. It's appears on the helmets of Canucks players when they wear their alt jerseys.Came across this today. It's fom 2006. The bottom one is a leak of the Ducks Edge logo, and the top one is one of the finalists that didn't make the cut.Maybe it's because it looked too much like the Thrashers logo. But whatever the real reason is, I'm going to nominate it as well. Even if the Ducks really wanted to go with black and orange, the rejected logo would of been great for a minor league affiliate. Damn shame all it ever became was scrapped and forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 The Mark Verlander interview had a video with some of his designs. He mentioned in the interview that he presented the Bengals with an updated head logo. Here it is.Here's his updated NFL logo that didn't make it.

TheOldRoman Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 That tiger head is bad, it looks like a clipart logo for a build-a-team in the Madden games. It's even worse than the crappy one the Bengals use. After looking through his designs, I see that he is the guy responsible for almost every rebranding in the past 10 years featuring pointed serifs as in the NFL logo above. I am not a fan of that aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
