Miami Dolphins Logo History & Evolution - From Classic to Modern Design #2250175 (License: Personal Use)

The “before” logo features a cartoonish dolphin wearing a white helmet with an 'M', encircled by a vibrant orange sunburst-symbolizing the team’s 1970s identity and playful spirit. The “after” version streamlines the dolphin into a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette leaping rightward, with refined teal and orange gradients and a simplified sunburst, emphasizing motion and professionalism. This redesign, introduced in the 1990s and refined in 2013, aligns with contemporary sports branding trends focused on clarity and dynamism.
