The Falcons logo could be so much better if they had used more black with red accents instead of the inverse.

Is the Chiefs logo melting? Just like the team itself?

The Chiefs one made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. That said so does their play on the field so I guess it fits.

The Packers logo is so bad it's comical. It looks like some sort of dopey evil cartoon villain.

The Browns should definitely switch right now to that because its awesome. Their current logo or "color " is very poopy ...

Meh. Very boring as a whole. Easily discernible that all logos were done by the same person as they are all so stylistically similar. I don't have an ounce of art training so I'm not going to say I could do better, but it's hat to get past the fact that half of the logos recycle the exact same wispy style.
Others are damn near replicas of throwbacks like the Bucs and Broncos. And then the Colts' logo is about as unlucky as walking under a ladder and stepping on a mirror in the process. A sideways horseshoe?
With that said, it a great effort and far better than I could have done. Props to whoever made these.

Some would work really well, like the Browns, Bucs, Rams and Steelers. Most of them look like it's the AFL or something which wouldn't work at all for me. But those few I thought worked really well.

Bucs one has too much orange and the wrong shade of red. Pewter, not silver is also the secondary color.

They remind me of the WNBA's logos. They seem a bit too feminine if you ask me.

I don't know how I made a double post and then somehow deleted both posts...
I really think we should get a Gfx team from SWDC to make NFL logos. We have some really talented Gfx artists and I'd love to see the collaboration of DC GFX team re-design the NFL logos.

The Eagle looks like its crying out in agony which is fitting but definitely not one of the better ones (I like most of them) and worst in the NFCE by far

I think I said this the last time these were posted, but some of them look more like medieval family badges than pro sports team logos. But I think that was the intended effect - it is an artistic interpretation rather than a legitimate attempt to make better logos. Modern logos should generally be as simple as possible.
The Steelers looks like MS paint gone bad, but then it is a terribly difficult concept for a logo to begin with.

Yes...I think that's the general motto in the world of graphic design..."less is more".

The ones that have the most subtle changes I like best. The skyline in the Giants logo is alright.
Putting a literal bear in the middle of the Bears logo or a cowboy in the middle of the Cowboys logo is not really good look. Too busy IMO. Packers log = FAIL.
The Skins are barely skating by with their questionable team name by having a representation of a Native American on their current helmet that isn't totally stereotypical. That new logo looks like Injun Joe has a bag of scalps strapped to the back of his wild appaloosa.

Yeah. I really like some of the more detailed ones, though. I like the Bears one, but it really doesn't fit the rest of them. I really liked the Cowboys though.
The biggest problem with them is that there is about 5 different design languages in the logos.
The Patriots, Bills, and Dolphins all have 2d profiles with the Jets being faux 3D. Then you have the Patriots, Jets, and Bills with dark color schemes but the Dolphins with a brighter almost pastel color (which makes it look more like a feminine sports team logo).
The Browns are a faux 3D, but the Bengals are a 2D profile. Then you have the Texans which are very dark compared to the chargers and dolphins.
Some are cartoony (Packers, Bears) while others are not (Raiders, Redskins).
There are flat 2D (Sehawks), faux 3D (falcons), and things in between (cardinals).
Then you have the Saints logo, which is really cool - but isn't much like the rest. The Steelers logo is just ... well, bad.

I like these a lot better than the retro ones that were designed and someone posted about a year ago or so.

Like a few of them. Denvers is cool. Miamis looks like they want to be the Marlins.

As someone who dabbles in graphic design I think the vast majority of these are horrendous. There are far too many things occurring within a small space, not nearly enough basic shapes, hardly any symmetry and just very cluttered in general. The only ones remotely decent are Buffalo, Baltimore, Denver, Houston and Chicago. They could maybe work as alternate logos for fan gear. Cleveland and Arizona could be passable if they scaled back the amount of lines and shading. Atlanta and Kansas City are two of the most egregious logo concepts I've ever seen.
