danmerz Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Has the arched collar and pant wordmark been pointed out?Uniform Script (Collar and Pant Wordmark) Wordmark I think the arched effect has to do with how the graphics are displayed in the official guide.They're supposed to represent the curvature of the pants. And, they're arched in the opposite direction for representing the usage on the collars.The word mark is so unimaginative! They could of taken a combination of the work mark used recent and/or 70's with a twist of modernization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirwuf Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Can't understand the 'haters' of the new logo, except for the tail position and lack of helmet, from a distance it looks remarkably like the old one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John in KY Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Guys, I really like this helmet...Awesome.That's a nice shot as it shows how the logo flows/fits on several different helmet shells (Revolution, Revo Speed, and Air XP). My main complaint with the Dolphins new look is the orange stripes don't show very well except in extreme close ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch B Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm underwhelmed with the new uniforms. Of the various versions, I think I prefer the all-white uni the best. I like the aqua jersey the least.

powersurge Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Can someone please explain to me what the Dolphins were going for with the new logo? Seriously. I'm not a designer or logo/branding expert like many of you are. Did they feel the old logo was too corny and outdated with the dolphin wearing the helmet? With the new logo, were they going for something more serene/peaceful, since it's a dolphin? (As opposed to some angry dolphin, which would be odd.) I'm just trying to wrap my head around the new logo and the rationale behind it. Thanks all.I think you just described exactly why they probably did it.The old logo was indeed corny and outdated. The new logo is indeed more serene and peaceful but I'm not sure it solves the underlying issue that they continue to have with the logo: The combo of teal dolphin and orange sun burst on white helmet just ain't working.Its dull, boring, and unimaginative. They should have scrapped the entire look and started from scratch; taking advantage of the beautiful shape of the dolphin and creating something more sleek and flowing across the helmet. They attempted to do something like that with this logo but they simply didn't have the balls to let go of the past and take it to a new place. This is why it looks like what it does now. Its a mish mosh of two ideas. Sad because it could have been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoehrin Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I'm kind of split on the new look.The only problem I saw with the old logo was that it was too dark. Had they done a lighter version of the same logo I think it would have looked fine.That being said I think the new uniforms did a great job keeping the look clean and simple. No orange alternates, no all teal look, no crazy fonts or striping. Just a very simple uniform that the Dolphins could have easily introduced 25 years ago.

Sport Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The helmets look better than I expected, BUT a teal facemask would've been a better choice than white and from a distance that orange stripe gets lost on the white background. Navy-orange-teal-orange-navy would've worked better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
