N/S Falcons' new logo gives nazi symbol vibes (1 Viewer)

Sometimes an ugly logo is just an ugly logo, but we should punish them anyway.

They should definitely lose two 1st Round draft picks for this. It tarnishes the image of the NFL.

Falcons are going to go on a run if they get that first win against Poland.

Yeah, but no way they get past the O-Line that Belgium has.

That's the best joke I've heard on this thread, and there are some great ones!

Minimalism gone wrong

I never under stood their logo. My eyes can’t make that ellipse thing look like a wing. Just looks like a Dracula bird.

I always felt that way about it too. The leg and talon are too far away from the body and thus appear too long/big compared to the overall size of the bird. The the wing and tail are too stylized to make it clearly look like the profile view of a bird mid-flap. The head and face is also just goofy looking.

I get that they wanted to make it look like an F (which is stupid bc why give the initial of the mascot when that’s what is being depicted already in the logo - makes more sense to make it look like an A for Atlanta), but overall it’s just a carp logo. Now their color scheme and 70s uniform was awesome however.

Welcome to 2024. lets look for anything to trigger people.

I mean other using red and black (not even white) I don't see the resemblance. It looks to me like a lot of people that want to be offended and will hunt a reason to be even when there's nothing there. Pretty common in today's society, especially on social media.

You have no idea what a carp logo is if it swam up and hit you in the face

Did they hire their graphic artist from the Bauhaus?

No, Pink Floyd

Show me a single person that is offended.

I see a lot of people making jokes and a few people taking this seriously because they wanted other people to be offended so they can be offended at the people who are offended.

It does look like an F in a logo-calligraphy sort of way.

The first time I realized it was when they changed the logo I believe back in 2005. I remember seeing a coworker of mine’s computer on NFL.com and it had a page with all the logos on it, very small. I saw it from a distance and I was like “Who the hell is that F team?”

I looked closer, and sure enough, it was the Falcons. A couple of google searches later and I learned that indeed, the Falcons logo is intended to be the letter F.

Once you notice it, you can’t unsee it when watching their games.

this is prolly Blank's first year graphic design niece - not sure why the leg is sticking out like that, not sure i've seen a bird fly like that - and also the face, it's like, dude where's my car - the random lines on the wing top it off... this is not nazi... it's a fresh out of school designer
