Saw this video on reddit and thought it was interesting.

https://www.reddit.com/r/miamidolphins/comments/v2w96t/interesting_history_of_the_dolphins_helmet_by/

I never noticed before that on the older chicken scratch logo, sometimes the dolphin's head is completely inside the sun, and sometimes it's poking out of the top.

I thought that was discussed somehwere along the debate about logos?

What would have been really cool is if rather than the M on the helmet they had a logo done recursively. 

Just my two cents.

I think that's one of those ideas that play a lot better in ones mind than it does in practice.



Even by the second order, the helmet logo becomes rather smudged - despite starting with a fairly large image *and* oversizing the logo somewhat. If you look at an actual 1997 helmet, the logo is a fair bit smaller.

I like it.  Good job.
