graydon Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I have been thinking that some colleges are really excelling with old school logos, but with the new school approach, what schools need a logo change up? The first one that comes to mind for me is Ball State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graydon Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 I would also say that the Charlotte 49'ers also is a little bit puzzling. Never really understood it unless there is a deeper meaning behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Think a lot of Division 2 schools could use a new logo. Two immediately come to mind though. First Bowie State out of Maryland. That's one of the many generic bulldog logos out there. BSU just put a script B on the collar. Secondly, Pittsburg State in Kansas. Seems like there's a lot of potential in a gorilla logo. There's could be better. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroywen Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 My alma mater, Fordham University, desperately needs a rebrand. They rolled out this logo back when I was there, in 2008 or so, and we all lampooned it as the "fat ram" at the time. Way, way too many outlines on that wordmark and on the "F." What a mess. I hated it at the time, and it hasn't aged any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should go school-wide with their gorgeous basketball wordmark: As for an "ST. J" logo, I've always liked the one on their old baseball caps, even though it's similar to the St. Louis Cards: @aghease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideRight Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I am going to have to go with my alma mater, Indiana U. because all they have is the monogram. Sure, there is the striped pants thing, and they have a script "Indiana", but with no mascot and only a flat, 1-color monogram, they need to do more. Even adding beveling would be an improvement. I still argue that they need to modernize the Buffalo mascot they used briefly in the past, or develop a new one. This is not enough. Even Penn State, known for minimalist design in uniforms, has more of a logo package than IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
