While the colors are good, there's nothing distinctive, creative or interesting about it. Yeah it's old which gives it a certain level of iconism to it, but could someone explain why many consider it the best logo in a league with some very cool designs, both old and new?And before someone mentions the fact that I'm "just a biased Bears fan" I think our logo stinks too and is even worse. But the Packers aren't that much better, yet gets TONS of more praise. Three biggest disgraces in sports this year:3. Braves collapse2. Red Sox collapse1.

Gothamite Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 The Packers' "G" is well-balanced, translates to all platforms, works on merchandising, and remains instantly recognizable no matter how many colleges they let borrow it. I don't know how you can say it isn't "distinctive" in its treatment of the letter, though.Plus, it's tied to the greatest pro football dynasty ever. So it carries pretty much everything you want in a logo. Not my favorite logo in the Packers' history (not even sure that it makes the top 5, actually), but I can't argue with its success.You think the Bears logo doesn't get enough praise?

the_fan Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 It seems like pretty much every comment I see on here about the Bears logo says they basically stole the Reds design (which is untrue, tons of teams have used the wishbone C and the Bears at least changed it up a little bit).See you say things like it being tied with a dynasty and it being recognizable, and while that's a good reason for never changing it, it doesn't make it a good logo. If the Thunder won 10 Championships with their logo would it be good?Maybe I was a little harsh, it doesn't flat out suck, but it seems way too plain to be considered one of football's best.

It can translate well on to other sports mediums as well with out having to edit it. it's not cartoony or contain alot of lines or gradients, which makes production and manufacturing easier, cleaner and cost effective.

JayJaxon Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 When I look at that G logo I think Georgia bulldogs before I think Green Bay Packers. Now that is because I grew up in Georgia and it is all over the place. But that is the downfall of that logo. Georgia started using that logo only 3 years after Green Bay, so the logo did start with the Packers. But the G logo is not associated with just one team and I think that may be what the argument is against it. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I suspect that were you to poll people outside of Georgia, they wouldn't think "Bulldogs" first.I'm not aware that anyone's asked the question "Why do the Packers use Georgia's logo?", whereas it is often posed the other way around.

Lights Out Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I just can't get past this...Three teams, using recolored versions of the same logo. I know the Packers' version is the most recognizable, but it still cheapens the Packers' identity, especially since their logo is shared by colleges. I greatly prefer this Packers logo: POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gueman Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 It is one of those things like the Yankee's NY, can it be better? No...it seems like they got it right the first time. There have been thousands of Packer concepts on these boards through the years, and while many of the uniforms have been better, the G logo has not been eclipsed. Perhaps it could be tweaked a bit like the SF of the 49'ers but a complete scrapping. I doubt you will see anything better. In regards to the GA Bulldogs use...we are viewing it through 2011 eyes, but 80 years ago I doubt many people in GA new much about the Packers and vice versa. Remember up until the 50's the collage game was a bigger deal than the NFL. But if you think you have a better idea for the Packers...well post it.

PhlyBoy Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Where i love the G, and i hope they never take it away or change it, i also love the Old Heisman pose over Wisconsin logo. i love how they are incorporating it on the visors and such now. i think that logo is an all time classicKind of hard to see but yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkdesign Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 The Packers G is absolutely perfect. Is it simple? Yes, but that is what makes it so great.It is timeless, works in every possible setting, AND most importantly the most important thing is does is take a back seat to the yellow on the helmet which is probably it's most amazing achievement. Anyone who looks at a logo and confuses simple with easy has probably never designed a great logo them self. Perfect.PS. I love the Georgia helmet, but everyone outside of GA think they just stole the Packers logo.PPS.

If you see that "G" anywhere in the Southeast, you are going to think Georgia...not just folks in Georgia.For example, if someone has a tag on their truck and it is nothing but a metal tag with black engravement on it of the "G" logo (something neutral)...90% of people are going to think Georgia in the South. No one says "oh, they must be Packers fans." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of the southeast sees that as the Georgia G. I live in Florida and think of Georgia when I see that G. College football is very popular around here.
