shraderb Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I'm a student at ASU and I'm not really impressed. What's sad is the firm that came up with it, that we paid crazy money for. It's not horrible on a t-shirt but it's not great. I had a concept or two but they just didnt catch on. Theres like four more variations of the wordmark and logo together that they had at the ceremony, one particular had the wolf located between Red & Wolves. It looked OK. Spoon eyes and all.

Arts11 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 So are the wolf?s eyes shooting out rays or are they supposed to look fierce? It just seems weird that the animal looks nearly decapitated that or it's crying like heck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meetthemets Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 What's sad is the firm that came up with it, that we paid crazy money for.Pretty sure ASU did this one internally. I think Phoenix was originally hired but they took it in house instead...From The Arkansas Times:"Wheeler “can’t wait” to see the imagery, either, but she won’t have to wait much longer. The team from ASU's Publications and creative Services department is ready to roll out the imagery that they created in-house for the new visage of ASU. According to Ron Looney, director, Department of Publications and Creative Services, all four of the department’s staff artists collaborated in the creation of the Red Wolves imagery. Initial sketches of the wolf mascot were created by art director Mark Reeves and designer Mary Williams. Graphic designer Heath Kelly developed a unique lettering style, and staff artist Michael Johnson assisted with conceptual suggestions and digital manipulation of the art forms. The staff then combined their efforts to create the versions necessary for production of various types of university media. The Publications and Creative Services team look upon the project as entirely collaborative, and as a great experience for them all."http://www.arktimes.com/blogs/arkansasblog...w_asu_logo.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCScout76 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Better check this out - there is such a thing as a Red Wolf. They've been run out of their habitats, they covered the south/east and up north through the Mississippi Valley. But that population has been reduced.Check out the Red Wolf: Red WolfAlso see a pix here: Red Wolf PIX Kansas City Scouts (CHL) Orr Cup Champions 2010, 2019, 2021 St. Joseph Pony Express (ULL) 2023 Champions Kansas City Cattle (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thad Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Is it just me, or does the wolf look like it has a huge overbite?

sacker12 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I can see why they went in-house with this. They probably wanted a logo that matched the " STATE" logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopard88 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Regarding the font, I don't understand why people haven't noticed that there is only one font in the team name, not two. It's got half-serifs on the uppercase letters, no fonts on the lowercase letters, and I've never heard anyone complain about similar semifonted caps before.Assuming we consider the wordmark to consist of a single font, the problem is that there are no truly "lowercase" letters, just smaller "uppercase" ones. That highlights the difference between the two and makes the wordmark looks extremely awkward.

Fred T. Jane Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 reference = post of the day in my book.You sir are, of course, 100% correct. I personally prefer Wolfenstein 3D as being is the best of the series since the first two were rather generic stealth games (Though with cool faux-menacing digitized German voices) albeit being pretty cutting edge back then.The font just seems bland to me, like it could have been seen in an old Castle Wolfenstein game or something from the 80s. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Perfect Zero Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 My beef with it is that I have to look at that cruddy thing when North Texas runs all over them with Jeremy Mathis in a few years. Seriously, it looks like a minor league logo with a "Red Wolves" being blown up way to far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayBlueshirt Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 With all the Wolfenstein references, I'm starting to think ASU should've gone to an even less PC name.Go RoboHitlers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
