duma Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 guys, The U is called the U for a reason. In order to differentiate itslef with that imposter Miami universtiy in Ohio. And i have always seen the F in the falcons logo. It always reminds me of that clothing line company and stickers I always see on people's trucks, the one with the big pointed F on it.

VitaminD Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 guys, The U is called the U for a reason. In order to differentiate itslef with that imposter Miami universtiy in Ohio. Care to explain that?Miami University of Ohio: established 1809. One of the best public universities in the nation.Miami University of Florida: chartered 1925, opened 1926. A private university that's actually outside Miami, in Coral Gables.Miami of Ohio had been a university for over 110 years before there WAS a University in Miami. The impostors would appear to be the school in Florida that came a century after the first. There is a real explanation that has nothing to do with the school in Ohio.In 1973, UM officials were looking for a new identity. Noting how many nationally-prominent schools already had the initials UM (Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Maryland, Missouri, Massachusetts), Miami went for the idea of just using the "U". Simply calling the school "The U" also reinforced the very reason for UM's creation - to give South Florida a university-level center of education for its citizens. (Miami's a long way from Gainesville, and Florida State was a military institute, then a women's teacher's college before becoming the co-ed university it is today in 1947.) It became fashionable when Miami's first wave of talented football players referred to their alma mater as "The U", and it went from there. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

duma Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 thx for the explanation. but you have to agree that anytime someone mentions Miami, atleast 99% of the world would think they are talking about Flordia and not Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YodAa19 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 The nose on the Jaguars logo makes a "J"and on the Bucs logo, on the left side of the flag you can kinda see a capital B to a capital S, like their script logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanium Eagle Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 From Yac12's sig:Iowa University's logo:The hawk makes "FrY" as in Hayden Fry. A prominent member of the Iowa U family.The top of the head makes the "F", the beak makes the "r" and the part under the head (the eye and the jaw-looking thing) make the "Y".Tilt your head to the right to see it better.

Kit Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 An interesting interview with Lindon Leader, designer of the FedEx logo can be found at The Sneeze. In it, he talks about what was required to squeeze the arrow into the FedEx logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopard88 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 and on the Bucs logo, on the left side of the flag you can kinda see a capital B to a capital S, like their script logoIf you're talking the notch in the flag as the B and wrinkle/slash shadow in the lower left as the S, I think you're stretching things a bit. Yes, that is what they look like, but I'm pretty sure that it is just a coincidence.
