rtrich11 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 This is great. If I were to nitpick a very well done design, I'd say I'm not crazy about the font NAU is in. That's about it. Cool. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Solid Work Red Eye! But the only thing I don't like about it is the NAU Wordmark. Doesn't look like it comes from Flagstaff. If you go to Flagstaff it's a very traditional place with an old time appeal. Try to Modernize the current Wordmark to it and still make it flashy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Very nice... I like everything save for the "floating head" alternate mark.Well executed, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEye Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 lilg, Good point on the text. I will look into a more "2005" look for the wordmark that harkens back to the original.I simply dislike their current wordmark so much. It looks very amateur-ish. I will take the advice and see what I can come up with to keep it consistant with the area.The floating head logo was a last minute idea...think I was going to try the body with the landscape but never made it that far.Thanks for the input everyone!

Sterling84 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 THats intense work. A definite other player has arrived at the Creamer.For what its worth, didn't we just read about NAU changing their mascot? Or maybe not.....maybe just colors and formalizing their school related logo. The Official Cheese-Filled Snack of NASCAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leggman01 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 red eye - this is definately the best work i've seen from you - very, VERY good - i'm with avenger on the "floating head", but that is the ONLY problem i see with what you've done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEye Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 Thanks guys.Here is the modification of the text. New and Old.lilg....I never read about them changing things up.Do you guys think it would be too late in the game to submit this? Maybe since a change is brewing in one area this area may be ripe for the picking?Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggman01 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 i like the wordmark on the right better, but that's a personal preference thing - i think the one on the left would stand a better chance of getting implemented because it's more "traditional" looking...and if i were you i'd submit these designs RIGHT NOW and let them tell you it's too late - these look great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 looks great, looks way better than before, looks like you took a school and modernized it to todays looks.

tuffytoro Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Here's an update on NAU's revision of its Lumberjack marks. Phoenix Design Works got the contract. We'll see if they can top what Red Eye has done here. Given the puppy dogs that they came up with for Tennessee, I'm wary about the "kid-friendly" Lumberjack this article says they'll be producing.From http://www4.nau.edu/insidenau/bumps/5_11_05/louie.htmLouie getting new look, new attitude: He's not mad, just determined When students return to NAU in the fall, a familiar friend will have undergone a minor makeover. Louie the Lumberjack is getting a facelift. The new-look Louie will be a remodeled version of the popular "Bad-Ass Louie" that has been seen around campus for the last couple of years. Louie will be unveiled later this summer as will some new "word marks" for use by NAU Athletics.Though Northern Arizona Normal School's football team was nicknamed the Lumberjacks in the fall of 1915, there have been no "sanctioned" athletic marks. Over the years, NAU athletics has used a variety of fonts and marks."Bad-Ass Louie" was created by a hat company that wanted a Louie image that would sell on clothing. It has, and a more ferocious and determined Louie seems to be gaining favor in markets outside Flagstaff. But "Bad-Ass Louie" has no body, and some in NAU Athletics hoped to tweak that image to launch a new Louie for the whole campus."The time is right to focus on the mascot and how it represents the university and the athletic program," said Athletics Director Jim Fallis. "Northern Arizona University, like many others in the country, needs to have a professional view taken of the athletic mascot." To design the new Louie, NAU Athletics, University Marketing and Phoenix Design Works out of New York led a committee that included input from students, ASNAU representatives, faculty, alumni, bookstore, collegiate licensing, Skydome personnel, public affairs, student-athletes and coaches. Phoenix Design Works, which created the UMass Minuteman and the University of Tennessee's "Smokey," designed several new Louie versions and presented them to the committee. The committee tweaked the selections before feedback sessions were held with local boosters and alumni as well as students and student-athletes. The final looks are still in the design stage with rollout scheduled to take place in the late summer.The final designs will include Louie and athletics word marks, which will contain a "Northern Arizona University" mark and an "NAU" for use by all teams. Also under way is a design for a more "kid-friendly" version.The cost for researching and creating the new Louie, about $20,000, is part of the $600,000 already allotted for university image redesign. "I am excited about what they are bringing forward, after having listened to students, alumni, boosters and staff," Fallis said. "I want to thank the university administration for including the review of the athletic logo in the all-encompassing university marketing plan."
