Dolphins logo update

The Miami Dolphins are in the middle of their bye week, meaning it is a week of rest and recovery for the players, and a week with minimal updates for the team.

Head coach Brian Flores met with the media on Wednesday ahead of a walkthrough for the team, though he was not in depth in his discussion. The Dolphins are not required to provide an injury report this week, though of course some key players are still a focal point for the media. Wide receiver Will Fuller and running back Malcolm Brown are both on the injured reserve list, but have been there long enough that they are eligible to return to the active roster should they be healthy.

The fact that they are not taking part in the workout - even if it is just a walkthrough - does not signal confidence that they are close to returning. Players can return to practice without being removed from the injured reserve list, with teams having three weeks from the first practice to decide if they are going to activate the player or keep him on injured reserve for the remainder of the season. Despite their success, the Dolphins have seen their share of failures.

Though the Dolphins have seen a lot of ups and downs, they have always found a way to reinvent themselves and so has their logo. The Miami Dolphins logo has well adapted itself with time and remains one of the most recognizable icons in the US.

Before I begin to analyze the logo and how it has evolved over the years, let me tell you a little bit more about the Dolphins. The Dolphin is the official mascot of the Miami Dolphins.

Human activities such as overfishing and anchoring are also causing damage to the coral reefs. However, several organizations are taking positive steps to protect the coral reef. The logo never fails to transport one to the amazing beaches located by the Biscayne Bay and the lovely Biscayne National Park known for its coral reefs.

The teal dolphin in the middle of an orange circle, representing the sun, has been the centerpiece of the iconic logo. There have been six upgrades so far including two major overhauls in and , but the centerpiece of the logo has never changed. The first logo of the Miami Dolphins featured a sunburst symbolized by a large orange circle with numerous straight lines around it.

The logo symbolizes kindness, creativity, agility, speed and energy. The diving dolphin also symbolized victory over the toughest adversary. While all the elements of the visual identity from the logo remained the same, some subtle changes were made to boost the appearance. Just like the insignia, only minor changes were made to the iconic logo. The color palette was made more prominent by deepening the orange and adding a more greenish tone to the turquoise.

The version of the logo saw some visually prominent changes. Visually cool, the Dolphins logo appeared more contemporary. The dolphin and the sun appeared thicker and a bit darker.

The mascot was given a dark blue retouch. The face of the dolphin was more detailed than before. Keeping up with times, the Miami Dolphins overhauled its visual identity in The new logo was based on the original version, albeit with definitive changes.

The redesign was all about the changing of color palette.

The orange of the sun was made darker bringing it closer to red— the color of passion and extreme energy. Our white jerseys look so bad, they look like practice uniforms. Add stripes on the sleeves, get rid of the Dolphin logo On the helmet An orange stripe with aqua flanks DisturbedShifty Peace out. BobDole said:. That's true to an extent but the Bucs have been bad for a while now and every single Bucs fan I know prefer the creamsicle throwbacks, which I admit are amazing and way better.

The winning culture is gone and with it came a desire to switch to the OG look, in which they won nothing. Just looks cooler. And that's not even taking into account that the modified Bucs logo isn't at all bad, they're just desperate for a new color scheme and design on the uniforms.

It's like every unappealing color threw up all over those jerseys. Just awful. The Dolphins logo changes over the years are a metaphor for how far they've fallen from being among the league's elite. Every decision takes them further and further away from where they need to be.

Everyone knows a dolphin doesn't have a football helmet on it's head, but it is Dolphins football, put it back where it belongs.

Remember when the Pittsburgh Penguins changed their logo and took away the hockey stick and skates for the Batman logo. Zildjianz Active Roster.
