IceCap Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 In the violent world of football, goofy is out of place. Save it for the kids club.Didn't your team, for years, put a Santa hat on the team logo at midfield every December?Yes they did, and it was awesome.That was my point. It was goofy but cool. We could stand to have more of that, especially in the NFL.

Skape7 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 The new Dolphins logo looks great - for a travel agency...or a marker sign at a water park...or cruise catalog. Another classic look ruined. Nice work, Miami.A classic? LOL. I am a Dolphins fan, and that logo needed to go... It looks like a rejected Disney cartoon, not a logo. The "classic" Dolphins logo was ruined in 1996. This is a vast improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I'm not saying the latest version of what is now the old logo, I guess, was the best. If I had my way, the Dolphins would do an update based their '72 uniforms. Clean up the old '72 logo a little bit and call it a day. But hey, if you like flying Dolphins Air, more power to you. Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 The current logo is great and I really like it from an historical standpoint, but it is a bit goofy.Serious question: Why is goofy bad?This isn't in response to your post, it's just a general observation - It seems that these days the prevailing "wisdom" is that every logo should look "fierce" etc. I think that's goofy. We get that the players aren't really Jaguars or Bears, etc., right?Well duh, but it is a representation of the team. In the violent world of football, goofy is out of place. Save it for the kids club.Well argued. Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jt0323 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I think its ridiculous to say this logo is a cruise line logoi mean i can see more, but the first one worked out what made it look like a "cruise" logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debo0775 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Bush league and hokey. All that glitters isn't gold for the Jags.Who cares if it's hokey? It's funny as hell, and it's kind of cool. You want a team to take itself seriously, but at the end of the day, it's a game. They play to entertain those watching - and to me, that hat is entertaining.

Lights Out Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 To be fair, there's a big difference between the Jaguars painting a Santa hat on their field for one game out of the year and the Dolphins wearing a corny, unprofessional logo on their uniforms every game.

mattwillcox Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I really don't mind the new dolphin, the changes from the leak have certainly made it better. Where this new logo is losing me is the sun. The way the rays meet is really choppy, making me miss the fluid curves of the old logo. And it feels very thin because the inner white circle comes too close to the outside edge.If they really wanted to add the extra rays to the sun, then this is more of what I would have liked to have seen (ignore the Dolphin, I'm just trying to prove a point with the sun). The sun is a lot thicker, and still somewhat resembles the curves that were in the previous. Portfolio Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the term "clown suit" you've misused a popular term.

BBTV Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 The new one isn't bad, but it's really just unnecessary.I consider it a downgrade for four main reasons.1. It's too static. It's like the dolphin is in mid swim - a casual stroll, if you will. The other one was more dynamic, showing the dolphin's athletic ability (sorta kinda.)2. The sun in the new one is overdone.3. The dolphin should always be wearing his helmet, because of just because. It's just one of those cool cutsie things.4. How can it just be swimming in front of the sun? Wouldn't it have to leap out of the water for it to ever be seen in front of it? The components of a logo don't always have to go together so literally, but in this case I'd say they do.
