GFB Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 The worst part of the new Dolphins logo is the sun, IMO. Instead of the smooth, geometrically-appealing sun rays they went with the random points, with some points extending further than others and awkward, angular transitions between the rays. You don't really notice it on a white background, but when you add the keyline it sticks out.It doesn't make much sense in my mind to come up with this smooth, sleek dolphin and then go out of your way to slap it on top of an agressive and pointy sun. I might have been a bigger fan if they removed the rays all together and went with a stroked-orange circle... it would have (at the very least) fit the feel of the new logo better.thats a pretty good idea, but its just polishing a turdI'm a fan of the new dolphin rendering... so different opinions I guess.

TheOldRoman Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think the dolphin rendering is terrible and wrong for the Dolphins, but I do agree with you about the sun being bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 When I first saw the "leaked" Dolphin logo I absolutely hated it. But the more I see of it, the more I think it's going to work. The current logo is great and I really like it from an historical standpoint, but it is a bit goofy. this seems like a significant change without being too terribly drastic of a separation from the Dolphins history. also, I LOVE the change in the teal color. The current greenish teal they have now is awful. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

We get that the players aren't really Jaguars or Bears, etc., right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Noire Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 For me "goofy" isn't a call for a more fierce version of the logo, but a pure dislike of logos with animals wearing equipment. That just looks dumb to me. I like logos that are a straight foward, albeit stylized, renderings of the animal. Just looks more professional to me.

While this new logo isn't goofy it sure as heck isn't fierce.Look at the Cards, Seahawks, Falcons, Lions etc...those logos all have a "Grrrrrrrrrr" attitude. The new Dolphin logo has more of a "Wheeeeeeeee" vibe to itLike I and many others have said before...it's a great logo for "Dolphin Cruise Lines". In the end I'll learn to accept it because it could have been a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact that's what I like about it. It was a great facelift for a logo that had previously been poorly rendered.The dolphin wearing the helmet just works for the team. They've always worn it, they played their most memorable seasons with it. It's goofy and kitsch, but guess what? That's Miami.
