I also think it could have used a nice cleanup; the flat spot on the bottom of the G has always bugged me.

TenaciousG Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Georgia Tech has one of the strangest identities I can think of. If you’re going to own gold as a primary color I really wish you’d lean in the direction of yellow rather than sand. But hardly anyone does that. Plus they’ve rarely had a consistent identity in terms of number font, wordmark, etc. Maybe this will be the start.

aawagner011 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I just noticed for the first time that the left upper portion of the T is much longer than the right upper portion. I understand it has to accommodate the G, but oh my goodness is that hard to ignore now. It should mirror the left side and be equal on both sides. Yikes. That thing needed more than a retouch. The bottom of the G also looks terrible like AH noted. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crosfam Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I hope they kinda stay a white at home team, with gold jersey once and a while and blue for big games. Blue looks best, but for big games like the Orange Bowl at the end of 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 The weird thing is that the helmet logo and the official GT logo have been different for quite some time. Notice the differences between the logo above ^^^ and the logos below, particularly in the down stroke of the serif on the G, the width of the top of the T, and the inner parts of the T's down stroke-serifs (the logo angles them outward, the helmet has the inner strokes of the serifs as vertical). Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 The helmet version is superior, IMO. Look at how much better that T is! They really should standardize around that version instead. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some lettermarks don't work in the context of a full word, they are designed to work on their own. Some of the best, indeed. I don't want anyone to force a font that would incorporate these letterforms into a wordmark. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

The Mets haven't used a wordmark with those letters. They've used something similar, but not the actual letters. Because what works in a logo doesn't always work in a wordmark.

I actually figured it was just similar and not the same. Point being - I agree with what you said and should have left it at that :-) It's where I sit.

SFGiants58 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I’ll let Liebe show why some insignia fonts make terrible wordmarks. Imagine trying to write whole words with those letters, getting them to fit within a set space (possibly with outlines) without condensing or adjusting the font in any way.

OnWis97 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I have not really ever looked to closely at the GT logo and now that I am...it's pretty flawed. The the primary and helmet logo have "G"s that look like "C"s or almost like party-obscured horseshoes. The asymmetric "T" on the primary is bad but even on the helmet, you have a very long "crossbar" and a stumpy vertical line. It should probably be lower. To me though, I think they just wanted a "GT" logo so badly they were willing to make it ind of a mess. The more I stare at it the more it stops looking like a "GT." And despite the issues pointed out with the "T," I think it's the "C" that's a bigger negative. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."
