Miami Dolphins New logo/uniforms Thread

Discussion in 'Miami Dolphins Forum' started by Rocky Raccoon, Nov 12, 2012.

  1. If that is what you want to think, and it helps you sleep at night go right ahead. We will revisit this thread on draft day. Don't be too hard to find...
     
  2. The final logo is the one on Ireland's presser. You don't have to like it, but you will have to accept it come draft day.

    Yes thanks JT it's clear difference I think but I been working with graphic art a long time. I appreciate someone putting in the work to show the difference. Thanks.

    Are all sun rays equal in size in real life?

    Here is a picture from the Masters this past weekend. Look at the sun. Are they all the same length?

    I'll hang up and listen for your reply. :lol:

    its all on taste really. I can understand where stecube is coming from, in the graphical sense. Look at the tampa bay lighting, do lighting bolts look like this
    [​IMG]

    no, but its the symbol recognized with lighting bolts. Personally I think the sun was intended to look the way it does, I have a hard time thinking a graphic designer who working for high organization like the NFL would create an error like that unintentional. I think they were going with a more realistic sun

    You are really trying to compare a real life picture of an effect created by the glass of a camera with an abstract logo creation? C'mon, don't tell me you really think the sun is hollow...

    I'm not complaining that all the rays have different length, but I do in fact complain that opposite rays are different one from the other. It's a very subtle difference I'm talking about. If you take a look at my picture, you can see that not a single ray is equal to his opposite. I don't like it, but that's my opinion and I respect if you have a different one. Taste isn't always equal and that's a good thing!

    PS: Just to make it clear, the rays in your picture are very much symmetrical... ;)

    Ok, I've done a quick mockup of the top part of the logo, with symmetrical rays:

    [​IMG]

    Now you can see what I mean when I say that I'd like each opposite ray to be equal.

    I prefer the actual logo with the rays not being symmetrical, more realistic which to me makes it look better. It's all personal preference though, and I can understand that some would want to keep the current symmetrical layout.

    No, it's too big of a deal, the focus should be on the team and not the logo change but it might mean good things to happen!

    Btw, do you get the new draft hat like you got last year?

    Kings won the Stanley Cup after they got a new logo. The Baltimore Orioles made the playoffs for the first time in more then a decade after they got a new logo. Colorado Avalanche won the stanley cup in 1996, their first year after moving from Quebec and got a new logo and identity. Broncos won two, Tampa bay Rays go to the world series after their logo change. Its like the opposite of the madden curse! But there are exceptions, like the New Astros logo. They are still going to finish the season with a losing record...and the miami marlins

    Found this interesting. I took the Colorwerx palette (most recent):

    and this image from www.gridironuniform.com:

    ...placed them in photoshop, used the dropper on both colors and found that they are similar. A lot closer than the navy blue we just got rid of (97-12).

    Here is a great example of how much lighter the Dolphin colors are this season
    [​IMG]

    Obvious lighter colors in the aqua, orange, and blue. I love the color change! I hope it says this way, really makes a world of difference in the hat, makes it stand out

    I'm happy with the brighter aqua. And, I can live with the lighter orange (although, I prefer the intensity of the deeper orange). But, I would like to see the new accent color a little darker. Maybe not as dark as the old navy, but definitely darker. It just looks a little flat to my eye. Needs more contrast.

    JMHO...

    instead of darkening the aqua like i was hoping they would, we go backwards and feminize it even more. only the dolphins, man..

    For those that miss the helmet on the dolphins, this is for you.

    Just further proved how stupid the whole helmet on the dolphin looked in the first place.
