Sport Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 EDIT: Forgot about Cincy's B logo. Great as an alternate, not so much though as a primary. The Bengal head is perfectExcept it and the leaping tiger logo were both headed the wrong direction. That has always thrown me off.Maybe it's because I'm so used to seeing it face one way, but that logo has always looked strange when flipped the other direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't work as well when the bird is facing left. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has always thrown me off.There's no such thing as a "wrong direction" for a logo.No, but most NFL logos are looking right as if they're moving left to right, the same way we read. Bills, Dolphins, Patriots, Ravens, Texans, Jaguars, Titans, Broncos, Chiefs, Vikings, Lions, Falcons, Panthers, Buccaneers, Cardinals, Rams, Seahawks all use right facing logos as their primary logo even though they all use a flipped version on the other side of their helmet (except the Vikings). The Eagles are the only ones who use a primary logo that isn't a monogram or a shield that faces the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'm with you all the way. Good list.Three outlines? The old Panthers logo needs three outlines? Awful.Exactly...A blue outline. then a black outline, then a white outline? WTH? Maybe they didn't use a keyline on the current logo because they'd used them all up here.I really don't get the dislike for outlines here. A keyline, like any other element, isn't necessarily good or bad. It is, in my opinion, all dependent on execution. The outlines, in the case of the Panthers' old logo, worked well. Does every logo need two or three outlines? No. In this case though? I thought it worked.

colinturner95 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 So playing around with the logo slick from the 2012 NIKE takeover of the NFL for the San Fran 49ers, I accidentally released a few clipping masks and this was what I foundNot sure what year this is from, but what could this mean for their uniform future?

FiddySicks Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I think they were planning on using that as a throwback in either 2012 or 2013 and eventually scrapped it.

hawk36 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 When really looking at the Falcons logo, besides the claws being too large, the head stick out way to far too (again trying to force the F out of it). A quick edit and it looks much better to my eye at least. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was blue-silver-black, or blue-white-black then it'd look bad, but the white is so innocuous. If anything it balances out the white in the whiskers and teeth a little bit.If you want to argue that the center stripes should have white too then OK. But I don't think the extra white outline is nearly as bad as most (if any) cases where a logo has three outlines.

If you read left to right, wouldn't the first thing you want to see of your logo be the face and not the rear end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRicSlick Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Is it bad that I just now saw the face in the new Falcons logo? I've seen the face in all the older Falcons' logos, just not the new one, until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read left to right, wouldn't the first thing you want to see of your logo be the face and not the rear end?It's not an argument. That's the explanation for why so many logos face the right. And we're not reading the logo left to right, the logo is moving left to right. Left to right subconsciously implies forward movement. I'm not saying all logos have to face the same way, there's obviously exceptions, but most point towards the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it's just a profile, then I think face on the left is better.
