I think the observations are good in this criticism. In many ways you expect more flair in this opportunity to design for such a prestigious event. It does seem ordinary and the type of predictable logo thought of at first by any designer. I always think the Olympics do a nice job with their logos each time. They are always fresh and have an energy about them. This superbowl logo is too predictable and uptight. I think it should be looser in the illustration aspect of the image. We seem to be entering this age of cookie cutter solutions to logo design. We have to stop using the computer and draw by hand logo concepts again. The industry relies too much on computers these days for graphic design. We have to get back to the basics. Logo design is an art! Put away the computer until you have something great worked out on paper.

I like the way writer has discussed and criticized the different features of the logo. It really shows what an ordinary logo for an extraordinary event.

Interesting analyze and I agree mostly with everything though I do think the color palette fits.
