RevNet Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 NAIA's University of the Virgin Islands has a new look. New Old From uvi.edu: Quote UVI Athletics Debuts New Look The University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) Athletics Department will be sporting an exciting new look beginning in the upcoming academic year. The refreshed identity was created with the culture and tradition of the Virgin Islands in mind. Having joined the UVI community in 2020, the new Athletic Director, Dr. Jerel Drew said his goal is to “establish a culture of athletic academic excellence and National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) compliance.” “I hope to create a new athletic vision that reflects and embodies UVI's heritage and history as a Historically Black College and University (HBCU),” he said. “After consulting with the various constituents of the University, there was a consensus that there was a need to improve and raise the Athletic Department’s image to a competitive standard with other universities.” The bold new design reflects the Buccaneers’ history and spirit and the commitment to represent and celebrate those roots and the University of the Virgin Islands. Virgin Islands history is depicted by a buccaneers’ ship and a sugar mill while the culture is evidenced by a moko jumbie and a steel pan.

stumpygremlin Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 http://d21gd0ap5v1ndt.cloudfront.net/web05/uvi/images_web/Main-Logo.png It looks like this was the old look? They don't seem to have updated their website, www.uvisports.com, with the new look. Also, the uvi.edu site doesn't easily link to uvisports.com. Terrible web design all around here.

The lion logo is fine. I would hope that ends up on their football helmets. The “SLU” logo is problematic for me, though. I hate the way that the “U” interacts with the state outline - sitting behind rather than being one the same level as the other letters. I also don’t like the placement with the left downstroke of the “U” lining up above the end of the “L” and creating that break in the letter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a rough look. Looks like it should be the number 3 on a modernized Dale Earnhardt car than be the logo for a Division 1 conference. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick... send that to Richard Childress so he can use it for his grandson's 3 car rather than the same Earnhardt font Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chcarlson23 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 The logo is definitely interesting... It really needs some more work. But I love the new nickname!!

SCL Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 The name is fine, the lighthouse makes zero sense. I am guessing this logo, which works for beacons, remains the most prominent. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That new logo is terrible on so many levels, not the least of which is its inexplicable use of two different fonts. On the other hand, turn that lighthouse into a butter churn and you'd have yourself a great logo for a regional dairy brand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 The top of the lighthouse is obviously meant to emulate the campus building that appeared throughout the video. That said, it does look like a quickie MS Paint job, as @GriffinM6 said. Also, I would normally think that a lighthouse seems a little incongruous for a college in the middle of Indiana. However, Valpo isn't too far from Michigan City and this lighthouse.
