I see now why Domino's pizza stopped using its 4 squares logo. It all makes sense.

no disrespect to dawgfan, but a newer article i found used that logo above as microsoft's latest before the change.

I'm pretty sure that was an expanded logo - I'd bet that more often than not the print logotype "Microsoft" was used without the colored Windows graphic. I don't think that will be the case with the new one.

LastWhiteSoxFanStanding · 09-14-2012, 10:46 AM

New logo up on top. Apparently it is their new "grown up" look

Brand New: It’s a Sports Nation, we are only Living in it

Monumental task.

Similar to the "pog" look that was used for FOBL in v11 (mini versions), but better (not dissimilar to the Nats, Starbucks, Lightning, FOBL Thunder logos on page one, though).

We gotta steal this at some point for leagues, Young Drachma.

Yeah, been in the works for a little while now. I'm not a huge fan of the thick line, high contrast, no subtlety style which was first pioneered in NBA logos in the '90's (and subsequently picked up by NFL & NHL teams; less so by MLB).

The version for the Washington Huskies site is gawdawful, probably because it's based on the current logo which is gawdawful. When I saw it, I immediately volunteered to draw up a new version for their consideration, but SBNation has no interest in allowing us to change it (not surprising given the effort they've gone through to revamp ALL their logos).

I place most of the blame on the UW site founder - seems pretty clear he didn't give much of a shit about the logo redesign until it was unveiled publicly for the first time and all of us co-writers and the other readers made clear how much we hated it. Now we're stuck with probably the stupidest logo of the entire bunch.

yeah, I thought of the FOBL when I first saw all these.

cuervo72 · 09-25-2012, 07:51 AM

Actually, now that I look at the front page of their CFB list - they do have small versions without the text, and that even more reminds me of the round set of FOBL icons.

vs

for instance. Basically we went for less border and more logo.

sterlingice · 09-25-2012, 08:54 AM

I posted this over at RR:

I think the general look is a bit more bland, which I didn’t really expect. The front page looks nice but all the side pages look a bit more boring. The “style” has been replaced by more revenue generators like links to YouTwitFace and additional spots for ads. If it loads faster, good deal. There will be some growing pains but it’s not all that different.

SI

cuervo72 · 09-25-2012, 09:02 AM

Just looked at EDSBS, and one thing they need to do is to make resized versions of the logo. The front page just has a scaled down 1000px image, and it's not rendering as nicely as it could.

JPhillips · 09-25-2012, 09:12 AM

I'm pretty sure I hate the new SBNation look.

korme · 09-25-2012, 09:19 AM

I don't know if I like the look of the new RedReporter. Images as headlines, so I'm getting no previews of the articles.

That's a lot of what I don't like.

cuervo72 · 09-25-2012, 09:36 AM

Yeah, I have to admit I was coming at this from a uniformity/template angle rather than an implementation one. I don't really read any SB Nation blogs (just the occasional EDSBS post that folks forward along).

As a former 5 year employee of Wendy's (yes, I used to work the grill with two spatulas and both hands), I have always lamented the company's dogged adherence to the whole "old-fashioned" theme. I like the move toward a hot-ish, feisty Wendy and this new logo is a solid bridge from the old OLD style.

cuervo72 · 10-12-2012, 07:46 AM

I like it too. It's still retro, but not Old West retro.

Arby's redesign on the other hand...

Pyser · 10-12-2012, 12:41 PM

i dont know, i hate the font

but i guess they are going for kids

cuervo72 · 10-30-2012, 06:51 PM

I really don't have any knowledge about this league or their old logos other than what is presented, here, but I like the template for the shields that they are using (and can see how they could be applied to say, teams, using city abbr and a logo rather than the ball)

I wonder if this means they are going with black as their primary color?

britrock88 · 02-06-2013, 12:47 AM

Anything would have been an improvement for the typeface. And I like the jaguar head, too, except for the dopey ear(s).

DanGarion · 02-09-2013, 12:37 AM

I'm not sure if I'm sold on the new look, but I guess I just really like the old look. Always thought their planes were some of the best looking.

Pyser · 02-10-2013, 11:57 AM

i cant believe the last one was from 68. very modern looking to me. i liked it.

dunno bout this new one.

cuervo72 · 02-10-2013, 12:24 PM

I kinda like the look of the oval from '62.

Can You Find The Five Differences In The New Vikings Logo?

cuervo72 · 02-14-2013, 02:46 PM

They defined five?

Things that I'd say are:

Spoiler

Now, would I be able to pinpoint these differences w/o having them side-by-side? Doubtful.

dawgfan · 03-27-2013, 04:23 PM

It's a good execution of the "modern" logo style applied to the old one to update it.

Still, it has none of the character of the old one. Everyone is so hung up on bold, thick lines and simplifying the look so that it can reproduce easily in various mediums and easily go from color to greyscale to B&W and still read, but what gets lost is character. And the more that everyone gravitates to this look, the more they just start looking generic and bland.

Going back to the American Airlines logo progression - the new one is fine and well done and all that, but I can't help but have my eyes drawn to the one from 1934. Retro can get overdone too, but one of the reasons retro (in a variety of mediums) can be effective is it stands out amongst the blandness of conformity we see in design.

molson · 03-27-2013, 04:53 PM

I can't believe that in this era of concussion awareness they took the helmet off that dolphin. Who is going to pay for that dolphin's long-term medical care? Who?

stevew · 03-27-2013, 05:03 PM

Like someone said, why does the dolphin wear an M on the helmet and the team wears the picture of the dolphin on its helmet.

But I wonder if the removal of the helmet with the letter 'M' on it isn't a shot at the city of Miami? The team is trying to get Miami to pay for upgrades to Joe Robbie Stadium and the city isn't seeming to receptive to the idea. I'm wondering if the Dolphins may be preparing to use LA as leverage to get what they want?

cuervo72 Head Coach Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Maryland	They defined five? Things that I'd say are: Spoiler * more defined facial lines; jaw especially is thicker. Though at the same time, the cheek line doesn't run all the way down to the 'stache * thicker lines on the 'stache. On the hair, too. * fewer weaves (?) to the braid. Also the left side of the braid isn't straight; the old version has an arc that extends all the way to the tip of the hair. The new one isn't a smooth contour. * Head is a little more compact * It looks like there is an actual eye, even a trace of an eyelash. The old one reminds me of Flint Lockwood's dad in Cloudy w/Meatballs * No hatch marks on the horns (and less shading - far horn has no shading at all) Now, would I be able to pinpoint these differences w/o having them side-by-side? Doubtful. __________________ null Last edited by cuervo72 : 02-14-2013 at 02:49 PM.
