Just made it the background on my ipad.
...That dolphin looks blind, sorry to tell you. The eye is one of my favorite parts of the high res image!It looks good at high resolution. The problem is, a good logo should look good and recognizable at all sizes. This logo does not look good at small sizes, and is barely recognizable at that size. That is how it fails as a logo.
The sad thing is that with just some minor tweaks such as thickening the sunburst and shortening the eye, the logo would have been much improved. See:
I was just looking at the Dolphins new LOGO on the NFL network, and it hit me. The new LOGO likes very similar to a NIKE swoosh.
Has anyone else noticed that?
