Who was their prior graphic design firm? A kindergarten class? Phoenix Design Works, there's no doubt because they use the same font design for each brand. Once you recognize it you can spot the schools designed by them pretty well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, in the past year and half they've created these: It's not like what we seen from Torch or on here & Behance but they're still serviceable. Each are improved updates from their previous brands. Where would be your alma mater? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother, an alumnus from the school, put in a bid to create their new logos, but they went with Phoenix Design Works and ended up with this.

_DietDrPepper_ Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 That new Salukis logo is, dare I say, one of the top logos in the NCAA 7 Quote Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumptious Ham Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 The Nassau Lions and So Connecticut logos looks like Nick jr. cartoon characters. Btw, those Saluki helmets are top tier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BW14 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 SIU’s new logo is really nice. It was definitely long overdue. It also actually looks like a dog now so people who aren’t familiar with what a Saluki is don’t have to guess when they see the logo. Also, it does look good on the helmets, and on a semi-unrelated note to the actual logo, I’m so tired of that “metallic satin” finish or whatever it’s called on helmets. The colors never look right and its so over-used, it’s boring. I’m over trendy helmet finishes. You can never go wrong with a high gloss or metallic gloss finish—End of short rant. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Opened up Pitt's athletics site and saw this: Website Can assume it's the date for the color change to Royal and Gold.LMU's website now has the new primary at the top. At the bottom of the page is a SVG of the new Lion head & LMU combination mark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its consistently piss-poor. I'm in the industry, I hate :censored:ting on other people's work, but its frustrating when others can do so much better, for so much less money. 7 Quote Store 1 Store 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 And after all this time, I foolishly thought Phoenix had quietly gone under. They live up to their name, I guess.
