rtrich11 Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I am looking for a list of sorts for colleges or universities that use Falcons as their mascot. Their colors would be helpful, too.I was doing some exploratory work for a school in particular, but they kinda blew the thing off. I want to change the school name in the wordmarks for my portfolio. Blow them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I can put together a list for you out of my College Athletics database. With colors.Give me a day or two; I need to clean up the app a bit, and I'm pretty swamped with client work right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted July 18, 2003 Author Share Posted July 18, 2003 That'd be great. Any help is appreciated. Will the colors be listed in pantone? If so, I still should be able to look them up in Illustrator to find their CMYK equivalents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Here's a quick and dirty listing from my database...I really need to spend time and re-work some of the tables, and get the thing updated, but I did a query that will hopefully get you started:Albertus Magnus College (New Haven, CT): Royal Blue, WhiteArizona Bible College (Phoenix, AZ): Burgundy, Black, White (formerly Green, Gold, White)Bentley College (Waltham, MA): Royal Blue (285 C), Gold (130 C)Berkshire Community College (Pittsfield, MA): Blue, GreenBowling Green State U.

rtrich11 Posted July 22, 2003 Author Share Posted July 22, 2003 Here's why I was asking. Since one of the unnamed colleges (listed above) blew me off, I'm changing to one of these below. Only thing is Air Force already has a great logo. But the BG is an improvement only because anything is. What do y'all think?BTW, how does one bump a message?

-kj Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 You post the word "BUMP." It's pointless. *heh*Those are very, very nice... though I'd like to see the BG concept closer to the colours they use now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronChefShark Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 bowling green needs a color overhaul....for an obvious reason but seriously, dont most of you think that a school called "bowling GREEN" should have that color somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Green would be a nice touch.For some reason, I always seem to remember seeing the falcon in red when used for their hockey team. But, upon further review ( http://bgsufalcons.ocsn.com/ ), they do use that orange and brown. Ugh, that's horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 but seriously, dont most of you think that a school called "bowling GREEN" should have that color somewhere?that's always baffled me too. everyone else i know of that plays in a city with a color in its name or uses a color in their name uses said color (ex. St.L Blues, Kent Golden Flashes, Tulsa Golden Hurricane, Winnipeg Blue Bombers)...except Bowling Green State University...weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 Hmmm. Still tough to decide. I think if I had deliberately set out to do an Air Force logo I would have approached this differently. Maybe getting something jet-age in there. The Bowling Green is just nasty because of those colors. Maybe I will try a different college and color scheme. Couldn't hurt. So far it looked ok in yellow/blue and red/black when I played with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
