It looks like they started rolling out the new set at least December of 2018. The script was also on some the baseball team's uniforms last season. Script isn't bad, but the monogram is awful. Overall, it's such a huge downgrade from what they had. Looks like O SUN. It looks dated. From the 1970s. Whoever chose this has terrible taste. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The walking deacon complementary mark is outstanding and my favorite part of the update. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're close enough, I think, that Washburn could ask to have it changed. I say that based on Iowa vs. Southern Miss. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they get a letter from Johnnie Walker, either. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jn8 2,637 Posted October 10, 2019 Not a change, but an interesting list my school Tweeted out: Crazy that We were almost the Omaha Unicorns. Kinda makes me wonder how that would’ve been done, like would it be a corn pun? Hol up... heading on over to concepts 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Green27 187 Posted October 21, 2019 A team being named the Unicorns? Where am I, a Brandiose-led MILB thread? Jokes aside, I wish there was a concept for a small school brand built around unicorns from the 70s. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanMcD29 820 Posted November 1, 2019 Looks like Cortland's getting a revamp. Kinda odd to see them change their Block C essentially to the same one as Cornell and Colgate given they're all in the area, though (granted Colgate's been using the vintage C a lot more this year so far) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stumpygremlin 471 Posted November 1, 2019 Old logo for Cortland for comparison. Like anything Phoenix Design does, downgrade...…... 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Section30 1,631 Posted November 5, 2019 It looks like an animation or drawing rather than a logo, and I don't see the need for all of the Dragon poses. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the only explanation I can think of as to why they still get work even though everything they do looks like it came from 1997-2006. I know that there are better artists/designers that frequent these boards that could do a much better job and would be over joyed with whatever PDW got paid to make these. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure that, and that they somehow have a good portfolio. They've done work for Alabama, Arkansas, three U. of California campuses, Colgate, Delaware State, Fordham, Brown, Harvard, Houston, Iona, James Madison, Lafayette, LSU, Ole Miss, NC A&T, W&M, and University of Washington. That's four SEC schools in their profile, an Ivy, two Pac-12 schools, among others. So that, I'm sure, does carry some cachet that helps them get work. Likely AD's go to their counterparts at various schools and ask, "Who did you use to design 'X'?" 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many of those re-branded not long after or had to update the work? I know that of those SEC schools; Alabama just had them do an ad campaign and the other three were logo/wordmark work: Ark- still uses the side facing razorback and ditched the rest, Ole Miss- Still uses the "Ole Miss" mark, haven't seen any of the rest anywhere, LSU- Still uses an altered version of the LSU monogram and the "fighting tigers" mark, ditched "toonsies the tiger." 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TornadoGTS 318 Posted November 9, 2019 PDW always seems to have really thin line weights, it makes it look like clip art or an illustration as someone mentioned. I mean the old one wasn't amazing, but this new one makes it look better. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
