Dave's Rad New Logo Idea

by Adam Schultz on Feb 9, 2010 4:03 PM EST in Editorial

Dave and I (well, mostly I) have been mulling a logo change for the near-future. I was discussing it with Dave the other night and I asked him if he had any suggestions.

The perfect Falcoholic logo would have a falcon. In one talon: Hitler; in the other: Stalin. It would be swooping, with machineguns coming out of its eyes, shooting a buccaneer. Oh, and there'd be a mushroom cloud in the background.

To which I responded

I could do that...

Ladies and gentlemen, Dave the Falconer's perfect Falcoholic logo!

I've "revamped" our current logo a bit on a whim. I always hated how the Falcon's right wing (your left) is cut off by the logo's dimensions. Well, consider that fixed.

UPDATE: So yeah, logo update thing likely not happening. But still, we all love a photoshop here and there, right?

This should've had a warning

I nearly swallowed a Granny Smith apple whole when I saw the “perfect” logo. Nuthin says football like Hitler’s head and a mushroom cloud.

Im going to risk a warlock spell

and say i prefer the original. I like the wing tip because it makes it look closer, more immediate and like its jumping into the picture…

go hard or go home

Did the wing tip for possible future merch

So no offense taken. We’ll be keeping the zoomed in Falcon for a while, it appears.

You have opinions. We all do. Some of yours may have to do with the Falcons. Sign up today and share them.

In my opinion

you have to have the revamped logo on the site for at least one day.

All potential controversies aside (wouldn’t you know, the President would take a gander at the site they day you chose to do that) it would be quite funny.

I think you should replace Stalin's head

with Jeremy Shockey’s just to make sure we don’t offend anyone

Agreed

I like anything with the Falcons on it. The Falcoholic mug is awsome. Wish I knew where to get one? The very first Bird from 66’ is the one that rocks I can’t help but love that bird.Might be on my grave stone. Enjoy the Falcoholic and all the news and comments. Falcon fans are the best.
