bigdub81 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I don't think it's such a bad logo. The old one had a lot of potential for improvement and I think it kinda' sucks that there's no hint of a 'gator' anywhere given that it's the title name of the bowl. I can see them altering the colors given that it's a new sponsor and the sponsor's logo has blue and maybe from my view some green in it so that would be sufficent along with bringing in yellow for the goal posts. My guess would be that they eliminated the football and used their logo as the 'football' instead while bringing in the goal posts as the football element to tie everything in.

patsox Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 The only thing that I just REALLY don't like about this new logo is the way the goal post sits against the left hand edge of the T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Meningocele Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 The only thing that I just REALLY don't like about this new logo is the way the goal post sits against the left hand edge of the T.You don't mind that there's absolutely no discernible element of a gator in it? (I can't tell if that bottom is supposed to represent an alligator tail, or just grass--and that's not good.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 It's the GAYOR Bowl? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Meningocele Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 And why in the world are goalposts the focal point over gator imagery? How does that delineate your unique, once-a-year bowl game from any football game, any week on any level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSM Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I like it. Goalposts is one part of football that gets severely underutilized in logo art, with all the balls and helmets dominating the field. I think it's creative, nice-looking and really gives one the sense of a football game that an oval shape, for being so badly overdone, no longer captures.As for the 'gator element, look at the bottom of the logo and you'll see the ridged back.

Arts11 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 It's the GAYOR Bowl? that was my first thought when i saw the new logo. there's not even a gator in it anymore. lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 The only thing that I just REALLY don't like about this new logo is the way the goal post sits against the left hand edge of the T.I'm going to take a look at this from a designer's point of view and take a guess at it. I think the "t" being to the left hand edge of the goal posts is actually suppose to represent the sun light hitting it and that is the highlight that you're seeing. Yes, it does need a gator or representation of one somewhere and no that green thing on the bottom doesn't cut it. It's still not a bad logo, but needs more "gator" in it.

DDR Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 It's well rendered. It's just kinda generic. It has the jagged triangle things that kinda like like a sunburst that you'd find in six or seven other bowl game logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 As mentioned above, the logo has no discernable trace of its namesake (a gator) - which gives it something in common with the Buffaslug (which has no trace of a sabre). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
