powersurge Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Okay, having lived with it for a few days, I agree that the flaws are glaring, but it's still a big upgrade. Frustrating, since it's dragged down by some amateurish Illustrator work, but still an upgrade.Maybe I just love the new logo or maybe it could be that life in general has slowly eroded my expectations about anything, but I have to agree; Its an upgrade.

Quillz Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I guess there's always that remote possibility that a couple years down the line, there could be another update to fix some of the minor issues. But, most people aren't designers and would never notice the flaws even if you pointed them out. I still think the logo will look really nice once we see it embroidered onto a cap. The old logo was like that: though flat when digitized, the embroidered version had lots of raised stitching that really made it a pretty decent logo. I imagine this will be the same.

Lucas718 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I bet a lot of people won't even notice that the logo has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 This little scrag end is the worst bit for my money. It looks worst on the blue background version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 This little scrag end is the worst bit for my money. It looks worst on the blue background version.Honestly, it's high school level vector art. I believe the concept was correct in terms of what they were trying to do (such as eliminating the key line or adding a light source) but they failed miserably on the execution of the concept.

BrandMooreArt Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 What other logos don't have a key line?the Colts if used correctly. but if they want to get all "Mountain Dew" with the background they add one  GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE  /  MEDIUM /  DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Another reason I like key lines is because I find that sometimes, it just makes the logo look "tighter," because there's something along the outside pulling it all together. The logo looks fine w/o one so long as it's placed against the recommend colors (white, black, blue). But anything else, I think a thin one will be needed.

andrewharrington Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 What other logos don't have a key line?As people have previously stated, the colts logo reverses to white when placed on blue, but it's supposed to use a keyline when placed on other dark colors.The Blackhawks is the best example I can think of off the top of my head. When placed on black, the keyline and hair drops out to the background color (not sure why they sometimes print the black on black, though).

The_Admiral Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I have a black Blackhawks shirt like that, and the lack of a keyline irritates me.

richie923 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Mike says Richardson told him, however, that the owner was a traditionalist and that the uniforms wouldn't be changing in Richardson's lifetime, as Mike wrote to me in an email and reiterated in a later phone conversation we had.However, this is interesting. Mike said Richardson also told him that the Panthers' helmet would change in 2012 but that he wasn't going to go into specifics about that. As Mike said: "He stated we will see some changes in the helmet but wouldn't go into detail."Now, the Panthers' helmet must change some -- the new logo dictates that. But will the helmet color change? Will anything else change besides the logo on the helmet? That's the latest -- and maybe the only real remaining -- question about what the Panthers will wear in 2012. Forget about the uniforms -- they aren't going anywhere.Mike, meanwhile, still wishes the uniforms would change, although he now recognizes that is a lost cause (all those Panther uniform prototypes on the Internet, incidentally, are fake). But he's a huge Panther fan and loved talking to Richardson. Mike said that Richardson's phone call "made my day, my week, my month and my year."Read more here: http://scottfowlerobs.blogspot.com/2012/02/richardson-tells-panther-fan-that.html#storylink=cpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody21 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Here is what I would have done:Here is a full body version.Why do you have to be so good at design? Like, this just is so much better than what NFL Properties came up with, it's not fair.also the panther looks like hes been cut up right now. better fix that. In the last game against Detroit, the time from ten minutes left to one minute left was probably the longest nine minutes of my life. But from one to zero was probably the greatest time I've ever had. I didn't want the clock to run out. It was such a great feeling: people crying in the stands, people jumping up and down, people cheering. Guys couldn't even sit up on the bench. It was probably the best minute of my life.Ah, the "I'm kidding" - the universal internet excuse for saying something that others perceived as dumb.
