NCCoachArete Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Does anyone else think the wolf logo is very outdated with the Loyola logo? I'm talking about the L with the wolf head. The head logo looks like it was done by a kid or at the very least, done a long time ago and never updated. If I am correct, is there a design reason for this?

NCCoachArete Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Wordmark is ok, I just think the logo could be so much better, especially with their recent success putting them in the news more so recently. The wolf logo reminds me of stock art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of the gradient in the letters and the beveling would go a long way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rich Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Still better than this logo of Loyola New Orleans, which we discussed in this thread: Quote It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is typical of Phoenix Design Works.

Dynasty Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Is there a reason as to why their mascot is a wolf? A Rambler is someone out in country, is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wolf is on the family crest of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Namesake of the school.The Shield of Oñaz-Loyola is a symbol of the Ignatius family's Oñaz lineage, and is used by many Jesuit institutions around the world. As the official colors of the Loyola family were maroon and gold, the Oñaz shield consists of seven maroon bars going diagonally from the upper left to the lower right on a goldfield. The Loyola shield features a pair of rampant gray wolves flanking each side of a cooking pot. The wolf was a symbol of nobility, while the entire design represented the family's generosity towards their military followers. According to legend, wolves had enough to feast on after the soldiers had eaten. 1 Quote It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rambler is basically the same as a nomad or a wanderer. A lot of college teams that lacked permanent home venues back in the day were nicknamed Ramblers. Guessing the wolf was chosen by a combination of Loyola being a Jesuit university (wolves are an important Jesuit symbol) and wolves being a "rambling" animal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically this...notably, before "Fighting Irish" stuck, back in the day Ramblers was a popular nickname for Notre Dame football. 2 Quote A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
