I love the Seattle Seahawks for lots of reasons, but one of my favorites is the name. I love the way the name, together with the team’s original insignia design, pays respect to the region’s native community and traditions. I love the visual resonance among the wet round finials on the s’s and a’s on the old-school wordmark. I love the affinity between the sounds of the first syllables in both words, and how the “Sea-” in Seahawks shouts out the local ecology and the city’s historical subsistence on Puget Sound and the Pacific Coast.
