If that is the logo, I think they did a nice job.
Dolphins aren't vicious animals, so there's little point try to transpose it or ridiculous human traits onto one in a logo.
Dolphins are purposeful, sleek, intelligent, athletic, aerodynamic creatures and this logo does a pretty fair job of encapsulating that. Plus, they gave it a sense of determination in the eyes which takes the more effeminate elements of the animal out of play.
I think some people will like it better when it's shown properly. For all we know the tail could be angling upwards - it's certainly not the same body position as the previous leaked logo.
It's probably the hardest logo in the NFL to get right and for that reason I'm not sure there'd ever be a version that would even please half the people.
