One detail which is adding to my delayed approval for the new logo, seems to be how the old logo's flow were following the curvature of the helmet.
The new logo, while looking pretty sharp, in the image provided by the OP, almost goes the opposite...
Guess it's the old graphic art major in me..
That's been my concern, as expressed in a couple of posts. It's the same concept in journalism school, that the action of a photo should face into the page, not off the page. You don't have a picture of a tennis player hitting the ball to the right and have the picture on the right side of the layout.
I thought the Dolphins flunked the basic concept but somebody posted that the logo will actually be parallel on the helmet, not upturned as some mockups have had it.
It's a weak logo, a definite downgrade. But that was the favorite all along, as I posted months ago. Mike Dee played to his own level, like a 36 handicapper. He also lied to us, as I posted several days ago and Digital emphasized in this thread. Dee seems to think he can insult the fan base by claiming that if one pixel is different in the final product than the leaked logo, then he was correct to insist the leaked version was not the real logo.
It's hard to believe we fell in love with that cheap stadium logo enough to believe it could represent the franchise.
Slice a dolphin into a few lengthwise slabs, and make each one a different color. There you have it. Modern design.
It's a departure but not a bold or astute departure. Safe and failing. That's the pathetic aspect. I loved it when the Canes debuted the U several decades ago. That's why it's so laughable when the conventional wisdom plodders insist that the opposition to this logo is solely that people fear change. There's ridicule and disbelief because it's a poor product, worse than we had. With the Canes, their old logo was going nowhere, wasn't distinct at all, so the U was a brilliant stroke. Endless possibilities and guaranteed reaction. I remember many fans didn't like it initially, saying we're not Utah, and virtually every school is a university, so how can we claim the U?
