hettinger_rl Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'm guessing I'll catch some flack for this but, I'm tweaking the "un-tweak...able." I'm a fan of the Texas's current look, however a few things have bothered me. It looks a bit flat and the shape of the horns looks off (especially compared to Bevo). So I went in and fleshed out the animal.In doing this I added a color... cream to the look. I feel like I've always associated cream color with UT but I can't place it... Anyway, I did a flat version too for all those fans that would have to breathe into a paper bag if they dropped that all together: Here are some reference images: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panthers_2012 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The only think I don't like is the T in the animal logo. To me, it looks weird and misplaced. I like both logos but I would like to see the animal one with no T on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItDoesntMatter Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I would agree that the T seems too obvious and overstated. Maybe if you made it a little smaller, thinner, etc. it would work better. Otherwise, this looks really good. I think the cream works well for Texas.

Or would a star be too cliche? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItDoesntMatter Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I think you could make the T work if it was more of a shape and less of a block letter, if that makes sense. Kinda like that patch of white on Bevo's forehead. I don't like the star at all, but I do think it looks good blank and it might sit better with people if it was simpler and didn't have as much going on.

Dan O'Mac Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I feel the "shadow" is a better look. As far as the more realistic looks go, the one with no T/Star is the best. The T/Star aren't hidden, they're just reaching out and smacking me in the face, and I think they take away from what is a really good logo. I like this.

panthers_2012 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I like it blank. Makes it look more realistic. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDGemma Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I entered this thread expecting to have to explain that Texas' mark does not need messing with and works well as is. While I still believe that statement, I think your work shows that you know that as well, but have done a wonderful job in creating a mark that is a very elegant modernization of a classic logo. Job well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
