FFWally Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 TCU is a LOT more conservative than that,When the new Horned Frog logo leaked from NIKE, ALUM went nuts and it was quashed. The AD and Marketing department are going to pick something that be cool but within reason. I just can't see outrageous and gaudy happening. Look for something understated but unique to TCU.

STL_ArchMadness Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I already submitted one last night when I saw this. I like conservative, "old-school" designs, but I submitted something that I think is pretty unique and modern because I feel like that's what they'll be going for. Their basketball program isn't exactly leaking with tradition so I thought I'd try to freshen it up. But no worries, no giant logos or gradients lol http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/98633-2014-nfl-concept-expansion-series-dallas-cowboys/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCDuck Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's technically called "we're not going to pay you for your work. Instead, you get to watch a bunch of guys applying decals and rolling paint onto hardwood. You also get to watch TCU beat up on a bunch of SWAC and Southland fodder, because we sure as heck aren't going to put you courtside when we play a game you actually want to watch."

Clintau24 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Anyone happen to have a photo of the frog scale pattern? I can't find it anywhere, not even the TCU Brand Standards. Odd they didn't compile a file of all the logos, wordmarks, etc along with the court template "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clintau24 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I threw my hat into the ring last night. I wanted to do something different, unique, for TCU. I ended up removing the website. The white area of the frog and top of the key are a lighter wood stain. "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
