    Saying the tail flip makes the shape look like a whale, is like saying Mr. T wearing high heels makes his shape look like a woman.

    Thats great that you dont agree with me. I'm well aware you dont agree with me. To each our own opinion. No reason to keep coming at people like that who disagree with you bro...

    But like I said... I think the rotation of the logo helps a ton with the tail flipping up.

    Well, between people questioning others intelligence over their opinion, and you basically calling the opinion ridiculous (aka - the opinion of Mr. Tee looking like a woman b/c hes wearing heels is ridiculous)... theres just no need for that IMO. We are all entitled to our own opinions.

    Except for me, apparently, because if I voice my opinion and not insult anyone, I have to get lectured.

    Somehow, I'm now responsible for things I said in your head. Seems completely fair.

    I didn't insult you. I wasn't rude to you. I didn't break TOS. I did nothing wrong. If you can't handle dissenting opinions, than maybe a message board isn't for you.

    Re: Miami Dolphins New Logo Thread

    Nonsense. And a bad analogy.

    There is a reason this is called a whale tail...

    [​IMG]

    ... and not a dolphin tail.

    It's iconography.

    I'm fine with people having differing opinions... and encourage it b/c thats what makes message boards. I just prefer people to respect each others opinions... even if they disagree with them.

    You love the logo and dont think it has any whale-ish properties, even when in the completely horizontal orientation. Thats cool...

    Huh?

    #1 i never heard the expression whale tail for that. Secondly, that has literally nothing to do with the argument. The shape of the tail for a dolphin and whale are pretty similar. They probably call it a whale tail and not a dolphin tail because it rhymes. Regardless, they don't call it a whale tail because the underwear is flipped up or something.

    The tail flip, doesn't make the overall shape of the dolphin look like a whale. My analogy is spot on.

    Re: Miami Dolphins New Logo Thread

    To go further into why the Mr. T analogy doesn't work for your argument Fin D is that no one would claim that Mr. T IS a woman just because he is in high heels.

    Just like no one, at least that I have seen, claims the new logo looks 100% like a Whale and 0% like a Dolphin.

    Others who thought the original leaked logo "evoked" the common iconography of a whale due to the upturned tail, thicker seeming body and swimming pose would have their own opinion, but I'd say the original leak evoked maybe 30% whale iconography and 70% Dolphin to myself.

    So while no one who saw Mr. T in heels would argue he looks more like a woman than Mr. T, you know there are women in this world who look like Mr. T, and you would never use their silhouette as a Women's bathroom door icon.

    "Why would they put a navy outline on the aqua numbers on the white uni instead of a Orange outline?"

    "Because they are stupid and purposely want to upset you."

    You are saying things that didn't happen.

    People were in fact saying it looked like a whale.

    By all means, please illustrate the subtle nuance in this post:
    In fact, this is the post that set off today's round of whale vs. dolphin bs.

    Great job getting a better version of the sun for the logo. I like how it really stands out now. I know people have noticed each of the three-pronged bursts forms an "M", I wonder if that was intentional or just a coincidence. Of course that only works for the bottom, since the top would be a "W"...so probably just coincidence.

    I like the Aqua jersey, just needs some stripes. And the white with Orange around the numbers.

    That sun looks like something a girl would get as a tramp stamp, or around her naval. Wish they would have just gone back to the original sun, and original dolphin. Gotta compete with the other ugly fish logo in town (yes, I know dolphins are mammals), I guess.

    The logo is very slowly growing on me after having seen the pose and the angle of the Dolphin. Still don't like it as much as I would've loved to, but hey, it's getting better... :)

    I actually like the way it looks on the one JT made. For what it's worth, I saw this on Facebook today. Don't know if this is a mockup or not, and there are subtle differences. I actually like this.

    Only thing about that mock up is, Mando said the Dolphin is parallel to the ground, not facing up.

    The one thing that will drive me nuts is the straps on the helmet covering up the logo. Don't ask me why, but it will. Probably the OCD in me.

    Re: Miami Dolphins New Logo Thread

    People can say it looks like a whale without believing it looks nothing like a Dolphin. It is not an either or proposition. So everyone should stop acting like it is.

    If Mr. T wore high heels and a dress he'd still be Mr. T, but it would be perfectly reasonable for someone to say "You look like a woman" I think thats all this argument is.

    I'm sorry that bomb thrower Joe Robbie threw another bomb and got people's panties in a bunch.

    It doesn’t mean that a Dolphin logo that veers from the commonly accepted iconography of a jumping dolphin into the commonly accepted iconography of a swimming whale can't be seen that way.

    I love the new logo, the final confirmed leaked logo minimizes much of that iconography.

    Though I can still see how some would argue it looks too much like a whale for their liking. However, if anyone argued it looks nothing like a Dolphin, I'd be right there telling them they're full of ****. I see a Dolphin when I see it.
