I don't like the angle of the tail in the back but I'm in the "at least it's not wearing a helmet and making an angry face" crowd.
I think they were kind of going for a 3D look. The front is bigger, kind of like the Dolphin is swimming towards you.
I think my wife just said it best: If we had a daughter who played soccer, she would be pumped to have that as her logo.
It looks nothing like a whale, seriously: https://www.google.bs/search?q=whal...gDA&biw=1366&bih=643&sei=KmhTUb2ZIoTI9gTvtoB4
Love it. I hated hated hated the use of navy in your sig. Hated the back fin being navy, looks stupid. I didn't have high hopes, and now this one, I love! they done a great job. IMO it wont be out dated in 15 years like REDPIN would have. Best logo i seen in a Dolphin mock/concept! So yeah Im excited!
In light of today being New Logo Day, I'm letting your post go by without the 100's of comments that jumped in my head.
lol. It looks like a whale because the bottle nose dolphin is in the same order/family as the orca. http://www.seaworld.org/animal-info/info-books/killer-whale/scientific-classification.htm I do agree about the helmet.
I'm definitely in the "It is good but still room for improvement." It feels a bit basic to me but same time I don't mind it, glad the helmet is gone. I don't get the whale argument I have never seen how anyone can say that looks like a whale other than to use it as a flimsy complaint over its pose.
Jesse Fin said it best, its not like we had great history with that logo. We had 1-15, Mariano final 3 years, 62-7 loss
I don't hate the old logo. But reasons I like this one better: Sunburst really pops out to me and is an improvement. The dolphin looks more realistic. The lighter Aqua aka the original version is back. Navy blue isn't as dominant, and it actually frames the aqua nicely. I hated the navy on the old one, all the random lines going through it. I'm torn on the "M" helmet...stupid, but liked it for nostalgia. Ultimately, I guess I'm glad its gone though.
Since I only purchase tickets to watch the games and not the merchandise sold by the Dolphins to make money off their other products, I really don't care what the logo looks like. I really have no idea why this logo change is important to anyone, but if your excited about it, so be it.
Not caring is the new caring. Did you see all of Omar's tweets about how much he doesn't care about the new logo?
I care enough to actually go to the games. I just don't care about some silly logo. I guess if you don't go to the games, the logo is important to you.
To be fair, you do care enough to click on a thread about the logo. I don't see how going to the games and caring about the logo wouldn't be mutually exclusive.
