iowahoo Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I always assumed, or I guess hoped/wished, that the negative space in this logo was meant to be the state of Florida. Is that true? If it is not I think they missed an opportunity, also if it is not, what the hell is it? Why have the dip in the negative space there? Would they be trying to come up with their own "u"?I like this logo, it is a major upgrade over the old goat logo (always thought he looked demented).I am a big fan of conetext and geography and think it is cool when you can represent that in a logo.

Gothamite Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 If the whole logo was angled the other way, then maybe I could see it.But as it is, I think you're really reaching.

rmered Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 To me it just looks like the U is shaped like a Bulls head.So the White Space is nothing. Just the empty head of a bull. Oh, and I've got a site.Footy Jumpers Dot Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I actually think it starts looking kinda phallic...but then again so does the state of Florida if you look at it on a map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hecticbro Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Isn't there always empty space in the middle of a U? That's what they taught me on Sesame Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 It's suppose to be a "U" with bull horns, nothing more.

schlim Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I always thought the negative space looks like the tower at the University of Texas here in Austin:Kinda like one of those upside down hook 'em cheers UT's opponents do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I always thought the negative space looks like the tower at the University of Texas here in Austin:Funny, I thought the same thing.Molding the empty space into the shape of Florida would be a very good idea.

appleclock Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I'm still not sure why USF and Miami both think they needed to make their main logo the letter U anyway... Seems like they are emphasizing the wrong part of their identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they are emphasizing the wrong part of their identity.At least USF was able to work in their nickname, ie the bull horns.
