Are you kidding me? I feel embarrassed to be a graphic designer if those examples are really how the so-called “leaders” in my profession feel.

ditto! i’m a designer too and all three of those designs look like they came from someone who’s never seen a football helmet in context in their life.

The silhouette and the Talons both kept the design simple which is being lost in modern sports. As a designer you should want to design something that is timeless yet effective... ala helvetica. The colts and steelers certainly haven't thought about changing the logo... because its damn good. It doesn't have to be in motion with a scowl to be a good logo. If only the Texans could change that stupid bull now. PLEASE. Adam Everett wasn't going to hit a HR in that uniform Paul. He wouldn't have taken it off if he could get a base hit though. I had to deal with his puny bat for years as a Houston fan. I have to say i really liked the talon Ravens helmet.
