It's really growing on me. I am a fan. Combine this with a retro uniform design and I will be quite happy.
A lot of the feedback on this board is constructive and intelligent...the one comment I can't understand? Who of you out there have penises shaped like THAT?!
Seriously, you should probably get that checked out.
mike Dee told us, that there was plenty of time to gauge fan feedback on any new logo. that it could be changed, adjusted or even scraped. I'd say the leak is legit and is the start of the feedback process.
I think the only feedback they will take into account is the position and shape of the tail.
Most people hate logo redesigns of established brands. Initial feedback is almost always negative, but in time people begin to embrace the logo. I believe that will happen for this design. My initial reaction was neither negative nor positive. However, it has grown on me. Then again, I despise the current logo for its cartoonish and silly style. I prefer logos that are simple and timeless and I believe that is what they are trying to achieve with this new logo.
We won't truly be able to appreciate the new logo until we see it in action and in conjunction with the new uniforms and apparel.

Skape, if you want a simple and timeless logo (as I do), they should just go back to the old logo from the 80's and early 90's. It's one of the best logos ever in sports.
The logo as just a stand alone product I was unsure of but in another thread someone did an awesome mock up pd it on a helmet and I fell in lovelove!
The 70s logo is better than the current version but I wouldn't consider it timeless for a few reasons. 1, the helmet on the dolphin. Nothing timeless about anthropomorphic animal logos. It's silly and hokey and dated. 2, the lines aren't defined or orderly.
However, if they fixed these 2 things about the 70s logo, I think it could work well today. I think they actual tried to do that with the leaked logo, but the thing that through it all off was the upturned tail. That is too much of a departure for most people.
