Fly Eagles Fly!
For the art portion of my project, I did a re brand on the Eagles logo and helmet design. I wanted to design it in a way that incorporated the historic city of Philadelphia as well as the team. I first drew my logo, then directed it into smaller images to put into Adobe PhotoShop. I found a silhouette image of the Philadelphia skyline. I then found an image of an flying eagle and placed it into PhotoShop.
I then traced my images onto the PhotoShop program. I met with Mr. Grandi to discuss the different shading and colors of the buildings. I traced and shaded both my images. I made it and positioned it so the eagle is flying into the city of Philadelphia, playing the guardian role. I like how I did these pieces because I really think it shows the uniting and the process of bringing the two things together. It helps unite the historic city of Philadelphia and also links with the team, and even the nations bird.
When I did finish tracing and shading my images, I went out to the store to find sticker paper. I choose silver because I didn't want the blacks to clash. I like how the silver flows with the black and green. I then finished the final touches of my logo and then printed them onto the paper to be cut out. Finally I cut out the images I had created and then placed them onto the helmet as shown.
Eagles Everywhere
If you have ever watched a Philadelphia Eagles game, you have most likely seen Swoop. Standing at 6’3, 216 pounds, is Swoop, the official mascot of the Philadelphia Eagles. Swoop is a very large part of this Eagles team. He has a big responsibility in getting the fans, players, and even coaches rallied up and ready for game day.
After reading an article about a former Swoop, I learned the mascot life is tougher than what meets the eye. Many qualifications are needed to even be considered for the role of a mascot [Confession]. For example, an elite professional mascot school is required. Being a mascot isn't just being in a costume (“Confessions”). Actually, Swoop is also an actor. He made his first appearance in the 1994 comedy, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (“Swoop”). Also, he can be seen in the 2007 NFL shop commercial. During the NFL season, he is on a weekly television show. In this show he is animated. He's the star in the Eagles Kids Club show. Swoop has been the host of this show since the year 2005. Swoop does many other great things for the community outside of football. Swoop can be found at many charitable events doing good things for the community (“Confessions”). He can also be found in some sports bars or arcades hanging out with the Philadelphia Eagles fan base (“Swoop”). He is very interactive with the loyal Philadelphia fans. He and all other mascots play an enormous role in the games. Mascots are seen as a sign of good luck. Many people, including myself, believe in the good luck charm. Mascots also symbolize courage, strength, speed and leadership (“Confesssions”). Many fans and players look up to these mascots for the reasons stated.
They get the players ready each play. Jumping in the air, waving team flags, getting the fans loud and rowdy is all an essential part to the role of a mascot (“Confessions”). Each and every single game day, the mascots run out from the tunnel, sometimes holding and waving the teams flags. Mascots are an important part of the team and are on the same level as the players coaches and other staff. They’re part of the team just as much as everyone else. They fulfil their duties every game day just like the players and coaches. Without mascots, people tend to think that it'll bring bad luck. That being said, it's important that Swoop and all other NFL mascots show up every game day and get everyone ready for the game.
Currently, the logo for the Philadelphia Eagles is a pair of wings on each side of the helmet. Don't get me wrong, I like the Eagles logo with the wings of a Bald Eagle. I could see it on an alternative helmet. I have an idea that would be a much better choice for the team as it represents everyone.
The regular weekly helmet should be something that represents the city of Philadelphia. For the regular helmet, I think what I have created in the art section of Apollo should be used. Philadelphia isn't just any ordinary city. Philadelphia is historic. With many important artifacts or landmarks that helped shape our nation. The Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed in the city. Philadelphia was even the nation's capital for 10 years!
The city is much different than how it was in the 1700’s. Now, you'll see the big skyscrapers and historic statues. These really shape how Philadelphia is looked at. The tall buildings fill the sky. Many people including myself really like the way Philadelphia is. There is no where in the whole world like Philadelphia. Its one of a kind. That's what I took into consideration when making the edits to the logo. I still wanted it to have something to do with an Eagle. The name for the team came when the team was bought. The Eagle was the symbol of the National Recovery Act, which was in Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. I still like the idea of keeping something to do with an Eagle. It's the nation's bird and is very symbolic and important to this country.
I talked to many different teachers, friends and family members seeing which of the few designs they liked the best. My original idea was to do the head of a tribal eagle on each side. Option two was to have the eyes of the eagle lined up with the front of the helmet. Lastly, my dad gave me the idea of the eagle flying above the city, acting as if a guardian for the city. As you can probably tell, option three ended up being the choice. When in discussion with one of the teachers, he recommended bringing the city together. I really like that idea which is why I ran with idea number three. It brought the city of Philadelphia together.
I wanted to keep the eagle in the image so the city and the eagle together seemed like the perfect combination. It unites everyone, all for one and one for all. I chose something bigger than football. It unites the people and fans of Philadelphia. You don't have to be a football fan to see what this image that i drew represents. Philadelphia should really consider doing a logo change to represent everyone. A logo to represent the city of Philadelphia with the eagle. The Eagles should consider a logo change to the ideas stated. The logo should include the representation to the city of Philadelphia.
