At least with that new one the letters are legible. The old one atleast looks nice. The proposed new one looks generic as hell.

Gothamite Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 “Generic” is one of those words that has seemed to lose all meaning. If nothing else, moving the letters so the star lines up with the negative space in the “A” makes it less generic than three double-outlined block letters dropped on top of a state outline.

This exactly. The terms “generic” and “Madden Create-a-team” are basically translation for “I don’t like the new logo and don’t want to take the three seconds it takes to put why I don’t like it into words.” For instance, I like the new one better because each of the letters is legible, the font is unique as opposed to standard block, I’m not a big fan of double outlines as used, and I like how the star and the letter A interact. It’s actually pretty easy I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

pepis21 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 You can spot different ways of release a new logo (in most cases) between USA and Europe. In USA clubs produce tons of merchandise and then release new logo. In Europe clubs release new logo at first and after that they starts to produce new merchandise.

If a logo doesn't evoke the look or feel of their time at college, alumni can raise a stink. This husky logo seemed to get a lot of love everywhere except in Washington.

OnWis97 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 It took me a long time to understand that UNLV logo. For a while I saw a forward-facing frog...the star was its right eye. At some point I understood it but I wonder if it is a bit abstract for fans to understand it. 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."

USF was building a new med school facility in downtown Tampa (or, as I've always called it since a few days ago, the Big Guava) and put the new, hated logo up near the top. Everyone hated it, but it was just there, like a huge shame beacon They eventually replaced it with the horned U logo.
