While researching the adoption of helmet logos by NFL teams in the late 1950s and early 1960s, I came across stories indicating that one artist created the logos used by the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys' "riding cowboy" alternate logo, and a Cleveland Browns logo that never saw use.
Great story! It goes to say that by way of creating the Packers logo he also did that of the Georgia Bulldogs and Grambling as they received permission from Green Bay to use the "G" on their helmets after the Packers success in the 60s
The evidence says he did not create the Packers' G, though I left open the possibility of him creating the Riding Cowboy. And, they are not Amerca's team.

The Cowboys might have added the white outline to the helmet star in 1964, but they didn’t add the blue outline to the white outline until 1967.
