    It should be noted if anyone is not bothering to go back to the OP that it has been edited with the latest leak. Not the original OP leak.

    Wait was the leak in the OP then? I'm now confused. I thought there were two leaks, the one in the OP and then another one with a cardboard box in the background and the Dolphin facing left to right.

    IIRC the original post in this thread initially had the "prototype" of the one you've confirmed. I think someone here still has it as a signature, same shape, but with a lot more navy, no eye, dark teal, etc.

    1. Good Lord, when did this place turn into FinHeaven? So much great info (thanks Crazy), but so much hand wringing and name calling.

    2. I really like the new logo, I keep having to tell myself that it will be facing the other way, but I really think it is going to be a strong mark that will still be good in twenty years. Which is the big test, IMO. The Denver logo still looks as good today as it did fifteen years ago, the same can be said of the Flying Elvis that is now over 20 years old. Meanwhile, look at the Rams redesign from ten years ago, already looks pretty dated and they are switching next year. Just my opinion, of course, but that one "extreme" logo that a lot of people seem to like (with the Navy in the sun) is immediately dated and looks like it is from the 90's or like something a rapper would use or something.

    3. At the end of the day, it isn't about what we had individuals think. It is about creating a strong, effective, and lasting brand refresh. All the identifiable elements are still present (aqua dolphin, orange sun, field of white), but it is a shift at a time the brand could use a refresh. For example, today I was at the supermarket and saw a bag of Doritos. They were nacho cheese flavored so they were in the familiar red bag, same chip shaped cut out, but the logo had been noticeably tweaked. Not being an eater of Doritos over the last ten years, the change did nothing for me; however, it seemed like a good refresh for a brand that is trying to redefine itself as something more than food for college kids and stoners. Wendy's is another example, they are trying to move away from the notion that they are just another greasy hamburger joint, so they are in the midst of a huge facelift . . .
    [​IMG]

    . . . now I have been a Wendy's eater for most of my life, but I have never gone for the Hamburgers (I'm more a chicken nugget fan myself), so while I already have loyalty to the established brand, I find the new look to be a nice one. Wendy has been modernized, the script was brought out of the 19th century. It is a much more effective brand. So when I look at going from the Dolphin that I love from the last fifteen years to the more horizontal Dolphin, I look at it as a strong move. Still instant recognizable as the Miami Dolphins, but with a nice and clean freshness that signals a change in culture.

    Then again, what do I know, I'm just a guy who works intimately with branding for the top TV station in my market. Just for ombudsman purposes, we changed our logo in 1992, did a refresh last year. We are still number one.

    Sebo has spoken. :shifty:

    at 6:25 you said you needed the okay from you bud to release the sketch...at 6:26 you posted the sketch.

    Also the uni you just confirmed to DJ as the one does not have a black outline like you said, or are just the #s outlined

    Honestly, I really really like this new jersey/helmet combo. I think they are super slick, especially with the black/teal.

    I didn't get to see the pants though. And I can tell you that they won't have the same model when they release it next month as they did back when the picture of the one I saw was taken haha

    What the? I said I needed his confirmation before I could post it on the message boards for all to see. Just because I posted that doesn't mean I asked him after posting that. Come on son, use logic. Go back and see when I wrote "double post ignore this" and that's when I asked for permission.

    I don't understand the second thing you said. I didn't confirm any uni to him, only a logo. You're confusing two separate things. I said I've seen the helmet and jersey, that's how I can confirm the logo in the OP currently is the logo. I thought that was pretty clear.

    The best part is he releasing all this GREAT information today, not yesterday or the week before. But today, after he got the ok, from his inside source. Yet some posters are buying it hook, line & sinker. At any time in the last few months he could have posted all this great inside information. Of course he had help from the new leaked logo today. [but that besides the point or is it?]

    fyi perfectville, i know about video games not even announced to the world yet and big ones that friends work on. I have never once told anything to anyone until something firm is already announced about the game and confirmed. Then I will talk to people about slim details. So yes I do believe he could be telling the truth as with the new logo being leaked he can open up a bit since less to hide.

    I'm gunna go out on a limb and assume you are the kind of person that won't come back to this thread to apologize for being immature if the logo is released and you're proven wrong.

    I just find it funny you can release lil details at will but need permission to release the most basic sketch ever.

    Okay, so you say the logo has a blank outline, but this one does not.

    Maybe I'm missing something

    Because the most basic sketch ever was concept art not distributed to the public nor was it leaked anywhere originally.

    And what? No. Nowhere did I say there was a black outline on the logo. I said the numbers and the stripe on the helmet. Damn dude if you're going to be so hellbent on calling people out get your **** straight

    Also those who want orange the jersey crazy seen was white, there is no orange in our current white jerseys so I'm pretty sure the orange will be the outline in the aqua. Stripes may still be there in the aqua so there is a chance.we don't have stripes on our current white so it may be in the aqua

    I 100% believe the logo is real, just not buying the helmit & jersey part. I do not think he has a inside source at all. I do not think for a min that that was the real concept art. But if other posters want to believe his dribble? Lap it up and enjoy it. But if he is 100% correct, heck 75% correct I will apoligize... but I doubt that's going to happen... because he has too many holes in his story.

    What bothers me, he never posted anything in this topic till today, why not post this information you been sitting on for months... before today?

    I dont see a point in arguing with people who straight up just don't believe it, because that's fine I get being skeptical, but your doubts kept coming from strange things that were clear mis-reads by you, and maybe some mis-communication by me, so I wanted to clear that up. No big deal.

    I guess me not knowing the OP was originally a different logo didn't help haha. I got home early from the office because I'm sick, I saw the logo got "leaked" by some dude named sneaker pimp, and then I saw the denials coming in. My main point was to say nah, Mike Dee is full of ****, that's the real logo.

    Still not really seeing these "holes" that Perfectville is seeing but then again I'm honestly just proud that he's able to use a computer so let's take the little victories.
    Edit: Perfectville - Looking forward to it man :) Doubt away.
