EatSleepJeep Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Did no one in any of these focus groups own a lab? Could they not see that it isn't a cat at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 ... that looks strait up like a pit bull.Correction. It looks like a PITTbull. In fact, perhaps that is how the university will eventually try to explain away this monstrosity of a logo. It's simply the first step in the eventual rebranding of all their athletic teams as the University of Pittsburgh PITTbulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueYankee26 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I suppose this is the result of the changes referenced by AD Jeff Long in this article from late May.Good God. What is he thinking? They really need to go back to the mustard/royal blue script.Ouch trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I'm currently at a friend's house in Pittsburgh. He (along with many out here) is disgusted by the new logo, and upon receiving an email from the AD introducing the change, replied with his opinion (a very breif statement detailing why he didn't like it.)This is the reply he received:Dear Vinny:Thank you for your note and your feedback. I am sorry to learn you are unhappy. As I am sure you aware, since Jeff arrived at Pitt, he has felt strongly that our primary identity is PITT and introduced the arched block-style PITT logo in 2005. The arched block-style PITT will continue to be our primary identity and the featured logo on our football helmets and uniforms.Certainly if you would like to discuss further, I am happy to give you a call at a convenient time for you; please just let me know. Once again Vinny, thank you for taking the time to contact us and for your great support of Pitt Athletics.Sincerely,ChrisChris FerrisAssistant Athletic DirectorMarketing and PromotionsUniversity of Pittsburgh Athletic DepartmentPO Box 7436 Pittsburgh , PA 15213Phone: 412-648-8220Fax: 412-648-8248cferris@athletics.pitt.eduwww.pittsburghpanthers.com "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

gordie_delini Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 wow - it's not often you get an actual response from an assistant AD or anyone significant on these matters - add the offer to talk more about it over the phone, and that makes mr. ferris a class act.
