major Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Back in the day the nfl was real creative with each Super Bowl logo (the logo expressed the town or flair of the host city). Apparently they got lazy over the past few years and now all we get is the Lombardi trophy next to the stadium image. I'm sure the nfl has the money to hire a creative arts division. What gives?

mrags Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'll agree. I like the old school stuff like your profile pic. But the truth is, what's out now is geared towards the younger crowd. It's what they want. Big bold capital Roman numerals next to a trophy. It's easy. It's lazy. It's bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Love Steven Colberts' "Superb Owl XLVIII" logo... lampooning the NFL's trademark and liscencing restrictions on using the NFL logo, or the term "Super Bowl". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Someday Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'll agree. I like the old school stuff like your profile pic.

I'm waiting for them to ditch the roman numerals all together...half of the younger generation have no idea what they mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) I do miss how the Super Bowl would have it's own logo. When I was at the draft last year, the NFL had a group of people who were part of the Super Bowl committee, and they had a logo for the upcoming Super Bowl in NY/NJ, and it looked great. I asked if that was the Super Bowl logo, and they told me it was just for the committee. Too bad. C'mon NFL, there is bound to be someone out there who can put some creativity on the Super Bowl logo. Edit. Here is the Super Bowl XLVIII Host Committe Logo: https://www.google.com/search?q=super+bowl+xlviii+logo&tbm=isch&imgil=YbRZa0lZLzlfvM%253A%253Bhttps%253A%252F%252Fencrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com%252Fimages%253Fq%253Dtbn%253AANd9GcS3XesPEPc2FEkAwH03wyLZZo3rYIJOb3LZFTyRTWqf4F2B2tSV%253B300%253B250%253B8TZI5_YAMQh_2M%253Bhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.blackenterprise.com%25252Fnews%25252Fsuper-bowl-xlviii-too-cold-halftime-show%25252F&source=iu&usg=__0991eUUV8D5qLx7ay6ci8h6ir5U%3D&sa=X&ei=BRfsUsCAEMzzoASVoIDIBw&ved=0CDMQ9QEwBQ&biw=989&bih=612#facrc=_&imgdii=YbRZa0lZLzlfvM%3A%3BKWebhZyauheVbM%3BYbRZa0lZLzlfvM%3A&imgrc=YbRZa0lZLzlfvM%253A%3B8TZI5_YAMQh_2M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn.blackenterprise.com%252Fwp-content%252Fblogs.dir%252F1%252Ffiles%252F2013%252F02%252Fsuper-bowl-XLVIII-meadowlands-black-enterprise.jpg%3Bhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.blackenterprise.com%252Fnews%252Fsuper-bowl-xlviii-too-cold-halftime-show%252F%3B300%3B250 Wouldn't that have been a great logo for the game?

major Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 The Super Bowl 21 logo was great in Pasadena. I also loved our Super Bowl logos from Super Bowl 25-27. I was never find of the 28 logo. Dang I wish we would have won some of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Back in the day the nfl was real creative with each Super Bowl logo (the logo expressed the town or flair of the host city). Apparently they got lazy over the past few years and now all we get is the Lombardi trophy next to the stadium image. I'm sure the nfl has the money to hire a creative arts division. What gives? The entire NFL is getting watered down. The AFC/NFC division championship trophy's since they changed are pretty lame & now they are both the same what's up with that they are 2 different conferences So leave the trophy's different .. It won't be long & the NFL because of the tweaking of this & that will be just like MLB half filled stadiums cause the players salaries are outrageous & no one will be able to afford to go see them play, & if they add more games & teams in London & France not only that but they will have every team have to go over & play in Europe . The intimacy that was the NFL is getting watered down & eventually we the fans will get sick of it just like they did in Nascar, MLB & even hockey to some extent to much of a good thing is not always better !! The SB Logo's Trophy's & all will change the entire out look of the NFL ... Leave some of the good stuff alone !!

Just Jack Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Wouldn't that have been a great logo for the game? Yes. And here's the article link where you found the logo... http://calvinayre.com/2013/02/06/sports/patriots-49ers-favorites-to-win-super-bowl-xlviii/ Speaking of those Patriots, the LVH Superbook has penciled them as the favorites at 6/1 odds, followed closely by the team the Ravens beat in Super Bowl XLVII, the San Francisco 49ers, at 8/1 odds. The Denver Broncos are also at 8/1 odds, followed by the Seattle Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers at 10/1 odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
