eagle98 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 WVU's current "Flying W" logo sort of has a panhandle already, and the overall shape always reminded me a bit of the shape of the state. I wondered what it would look like if it really were modeled on the silhouette of West Virginia, so I drew up a rough sketch of it: (Disclaimer: The "West Virginia University" text is not mine. I just wanted to show how my logo looked as part of the academic logo. The helmet template is also not mine. If I remember correctly, I traced it from one of the free Paint templates on this forum many years ago.)

dannykraft Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I like the idea of the state + WV and I really feel like WVU should have an alternate logo but to be honest I do not see the state at all and the W is hard to make out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I don't think it's an improvement...it just looks backwards. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimalCookie Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I read that as VW. It's also a bit too simplified to work as the state outline. However, I think that if you cut off the middle part of the W (simply filling in the Wheeling panhandle with navy) it would work much better as a monogram, although it would be lost on the helmet.

jbird669 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I like your thought process, but like Magic Dynasty, it not only looks like VW, but it's like the logo is giving us the middle finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
