Definitely not, haha.

I agree with Dragon that the Seahawks one looks like the original logo in a shampoo commercial.

Some of them look like they'd be car emblems.

The Bills one looks the most likely to actually become a logo.

I think the Raiders one is legit, Houston, Tennessee, Bears, Rams, Cards. Maybe the red skins one too.

Thing is everyone is use to the original designs. I'm pretty sure if you guys were all shown the current logos now, never having seen them before you'd think a lot of them were either plain or ugly.

a few of them have the same theme.

[Saints-Tigers]

The Saints' is awfully religious, haha.

Would you agree with the statement that if you can't reproduce a logo in a vector graphics program fairly easily, then chances are it isn't a very good logo?

I have no education in design of any kind at all, but from what I've heard from friends in that field, the less lines you use while conveying the message the better the logo will be (this isn't an absolute, just a guide line).

They'd be good for highschool teams.

Too loud with these logos IMO

and the Packers one looks hilarious. IT's just some random dude trying to look intimidating with a block of cheese on his head

I just got a graphic design job yesterday. I believe that is a key staple. The less you have to do to convey the information in your message across to an audience, the better. I think the current NFL logos accomplish this, which is why the majority of these new age logos, while very nicely designed, probably wouldn't be adopted as they don't fit the criteria of being a little more simplistic.

Yeah I think the designer should have just attempted to redesign the G in some way. It was a monumental task with some of these logos though. I'm sure the person behind these wanted to replicate the logos in some facet, but not just add more stuff to something that already exists (which I think happened to the Steelers logo).

I don't have an ounce of art training so I'm not going to say I could do better, but it's hat to get past the fact that half of the logos recycle the exact same wispy style.

Others are damn near replicas of throwbacks like the Bucs and Broncos. And then the Colts' logo is about as unlucky as walking under a ladder and stepping on a mirror in the process. A sideways horseshoe?

With that said, it a great effort and far better than I could have done. Props to whoever made these.

That's exactly what I was thinking. They look the same, and in some cases like the Broncos and Chargers (for some weird reason) have the same fricken' horse.


This is what happens when the XFL goes under, and their artists are left to be on their own. You see what they have unleashed!?

The XFL logos were a lot worse and tried to be as simplistic as the current NFL logos.
