footballfiji Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I was browsing the internet and ran across the official website for Shaw University. It's a small HBCU in North Carolina. Anyway this was their web banner:Compare to Drew University:You decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Certianly looks like the same logo to me, only simplified. I hadn't seen that one used before. They used to have a really bad hand-drawn look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Boy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 It would be interesting to know where Sahw got their logo from. If a company designed it for them, they may have some explaining to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steiny_ramone Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 They might have copied the outline of the bear, but the features and shading don't really match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggman01 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 They might have copied the outline of the bear, but the features and shading don't really match up. same logo, simply recolored - that doesn't shock me knowing shaw...that's shady for a school that has such a proud history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopard88 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 You tell me... I'll tell you . . . take out the white shading (oxymoron?) and it is nothing more than a recolorization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moser316 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 You tell me...I'll tell you . . . take out the white shading (oxymoron?) and it is nothing more than a recolorization. I think the word you're looking for is white "highlights", Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitedawg22 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 If they were going to swipe a logo rather than have one created, you'd think they would have saved enough money to get someone besides a drunken toddler to trace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to beat the value of drunken toddler labor... I've got some refinishing my cabinets as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 You tell me... Yup, that's a dumbed-down recolor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggman01 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 i'm sure what you have is an underpaid sid trying to spruce up the athletic site and not wanting to use the monstrocity that is their official logo - i'm sure it's pretty innocent, but it's still shady - anyone with 1/2 a brain should know that just isn't right (unless it's for a fantasy team ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmered Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Isn't the Drew Bear one of the best Bears logos?I love that bear.No wonder they 'borrowed' it.As Leggman says, it's probably some kid on volunteer staff who's done it.Doesn't make it right, but I doubt the University even know where it came from.
