4. Super Bowl XXVII

The designer for Super Bowl XXVII made sure to represent the fact that the game was played in the Rose Bowl, while not overdoing the theme. The singular blooming rose at the top was just enough not to be shoving the location down the viewer’s throat. The two roses on the side (at least to me) represent the NFC and AFC being on an even playing field, while the large one represents the blossoming league.

While the roman numerals are certainly well established, the words “Super Bowl” could have been slightly larger and more prominent. Ultimately it’s a great design that captures the area and the game, something few have done since.

3. Super Bowl XLIV

Drew Brees and his son look out over the confetti with the Super Bowl XLIV logo underneath them. The designer of this logo got extremely creative, something we have not seen in recent years. Sneaking in the field goal posts between the L and I was impressive, and the color matching the pylon was a great touch.

Between the font, somewhat hidden features, and color, there is not much to not like about this logo. My only note is the word Super Bowl may have fit better in large block letters on top or underneath the roman numerals. Other than that, it’s a great representation of the game.
