BlueSky Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Seriously though, if the dolphin is truly going to be without a helmet, there is a much greater risk of concussions..Well done. Maybe the reason they made the original logo more vertical was that they didn't want him leading with his helmet. He was getting penalized for "delivering a blow" to those seals on the other team.

Claystation360 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Oh, yeah. Goofy can be cool as hell, even in "the violent world of football."Oh those were classic. We would look forward to December to see him with the Santa hat. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Don't forget that the Dolphins have used a version of this logo with the dolphin jumping through the ring:I forgot about that pic. It's an interesting contradiction to say the least if the logo is supposed to be the sun. Some might say this photo is game, set and match for the fiery ring crowd and it would be hard to argue, wouldn't it?I'm guessing the explanation is something simple, like the company they ordered the glass table from screwed up and put the sun in front of the tail. I think that's the most likely explanation since this version of the logo has never been seen anywehere else.Having seen similar happenings in the corporate world, what generally follows is the Dolphins send the glass back and say, "Get it right." I can't imagine them accepting a blatant misrepresentation of their logo. It is a strange deal though being an apparent one-off.Or what also happens, the person that placed the order doesn't know any better and by the time anyone notices its too late. Or someone did notice and just didn't care cause it'd take an extra week to get a replacement.Source: The huge wealth of correspondence that goes out of many Fortune 500 companies that looks like utter ass.

29texan Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 NFL Logos that I truly find "Iconic".- Bears Wishbone 'C'- Cowboys star- Packers 'G'- Raiders shield- Pittsburgh's "Steelmark"- Colts horseshoe- Chiefs arrowhead- Redskins profile (even if it is controversial) Logos that are very recognizable but not iconic / logos that are a toss-up, should or shouldn't last very long.- Cardinals profile - Detroit's leaping Lion (may be iconic if they didn't change it, even though I personally like the change myself)- Both New York logos (only because they had millions of different logos before basically reviving their older ones in the late 90's)- 49ers interlocking 'SF'- Eagles profile- Saints fleur-de-lis - Bills charging bison- Bucs pirate flag- Rams profile- Broncos robo-bronco - Chargers arching bolt- Texans bull head (instant classic)- the 'F' Falcon- Patriots "Flying Elvis"- Seahawks profile- Vikings ProfileAs for the Panthers, Jaguars, Bengals, Browns, Ravens, and Titans.... they could change tomorrow and most likely, it would be a welcomed change.The point of this was my perspective of the Dolphins logo. I'd say it's right there in that middle category. Recognizable, yes. Iconic? I wouldn't say so. 1., because it has been changed a few times before and, 2., if Miami kept the original logo from the 70's, I'm sure most people would just say it would be too "outdated" for this century. Didn't really have the same timeless design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksupilot Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 As for the Panthers, Jaguars, Bengals, Browns, Ravens, and Titans.... they could change tomorrow and most likely, it would be a welcomed change.Yeahhhh, I'd say the majority of Cleveland fans would not welcome a change to the Browns logoless helmet. If you're talking just changing the primary to something else, but keeping it off the helmet, I think some wouldn't mind as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcameronh Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 How would you define "iconic" and how is the 49ers "SF" logo not? They tried to change it in the 90's and there was so much outcry they went back to it and then just updated it a bit. They have had it since the 60's so when you see it, there is no dought you think of the 49ers. So I would say that is "iconic". But I guess I'm biased and maybe that is just me.For reference, this is the "one day" logo they wanted to change it to. What were they thinking?!?!?!?

What were they thinking?!?!?!?Yeah, I thought this would happen, so maybe I should have made it clear that this was MY opinion. Also, the point was really about the Dolphins logo. I've seen people here say it was "iconic", and really didn't get that. Is it the current Dolphins logo that's iconic? Is it the 70's logo? Just the idea of a dolphin jumping into the sun?Either way, I just didn't see it that way and didn't really mind the change.P.S., my idea of an iconic logo is something that ANYONE can point to and know where it's from and has for the most part been relatively untouched for decades.P.P.S., NO I'm not talking about putting something on the Browns helmet. I'd like that, but that's not what I'm talking about. Having a helmet as your primary logo just seems unappealing to me.P.P.P.S., Lights Out.... again, MY opinion.... but then again, yeah I could see how it would be.

guest23 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 How is the Chargers' bolt not iconic?the helmet as a whole is iconic and the lightnig motif is classic and near iconic but the bolt decal itself does not serve well as a primary logo and looks terrible on merchandise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gr3g3 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 At least 29texan got us off the whole Sunburst vs Ring fiasco. Now we're all just yelling at him about our teams being iconic. Man, the days are getting slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And remember, Miami uni nowhere near complete. Still hav to do trimming/piping etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
