Buffalo Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 those look pretty cool, but remind me a lot of MLS logos---soccer shields with vertical stripes and dates of incorporationall in all, a nice design! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 While this was pointed out during a previous Madden/new NCAA football uniform thread, I will leave this as its own topic. These are cleaner graphics and a more complete set than what was leaked originally. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Like Buffalo said it looks like a soccer badge. It looks nice, but doesn't look like a conference logo to me. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Wow. Can we say bad design? Why? Because when I first looked at it, I thought the bottom of the shield was bent towards the right. Then I realized it's an optical illusion caused by everything leaning to the right. Someone should've picked that out right away. A better design would've been to shape the MAC into the badge, and that would've gotten rid of the optical illusion that I noticed. I do agree it's a great logo for a soccer league, but the MAC supposedly is much more than that. Anybody know who was the last MAC team to win a NCAA title in soccer?

fuzzy510 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Anybody know who was the last MAC team to win a NCAA title in soccer?Hartwick College is an associate member for soccer and won a title back in 1977, but they weren't part of the conference then. Outside of that, never, by either gender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of that, never, by either gender.I have never heard of Hartwick being in the Mid-American Conference. I personally think the logo is awful for what it represents. It looks like a clothing line logo. The MAC motion logo is iconic and this doesn't even stand out now. Bland and boring. The championship logos are ok except for that sad excuse for a football title logo. Just awful there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I understand what you mean about the optical illusion, but I'm just not seeing it at all. I'm sure someone at Joe's office would have noticed something like that if it's as blatant as you seem to think, oddball. Furthermore, I don't understand why individuals can not open their mind to something that breaks the mold of a certain visual category. No, this does not look like a traditional conference logo, but why is that a bad thing? Most conference logos are terribly cluttered, jumbled messes, and this one is refreshingly spare. The old logo is anything but iconic (show it to ten random people and see if they A. know what it stands for, or B. know what type of organization it represents) and the unique style of the new mark does wonders to help it stand out among those conference logos using the same ol' bland, overworked template. I can't stand a critic who never wants to see the positive side of anything.

oddball Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 As far as the old logo goes, everytime I saw it I thought of trees. Honestly I don't think most people would recognize conference logos unless they followed that sport or sports in general. Very few of them visually say what they are. I mean look at the Big 10, Big 12 and SEC logos, do they say sports, or do they say sports visually because we know what they are for? I don't think the new logo is bad, it just looked funky to me as I saw that optical illusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
