GFB Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Meh.They remind me of San Jose State. UNC-GreensboroWhat was wrong with using the Titan helmet? An update of that logo was all that was needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robnshell18 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I like that the logo and colors somewhat resemble the Pistons' lightning bolt scheme of the late 70s. Nice use of the Detroit skyline as an alt. logo, as well.

JQK Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 So the shield and sword remind you of San Jose State, who use a helmet as their logo, but in your opinion, Detroit should have gone with the helmet to distinguish themselves from that?I'm confused.The logo looks good. Not the best, but better than average. Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Only so many ways to do a shield, especially from the given time period that inspired the names.....I personally like the wordmark with the Detroit skyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Meningocele Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Meh.They remind me of San Jose State. UNC-GreensboroWhat was wrong with using the Titan helmet? An update of that logo was all that was needed...I'll respectfully disagree, and give the new set a B minus. Updating the helmet would've only kept them lost in the shuffle with the likes of USC, San Jose State, Troy, Norfolk State--and worst of all, Michigan State (and Fitzgerald High School, for that matter) in their own backyard. The shield is rendered well, and in a perspective unique from others who use one in their logo. The wordmarks are quite weak though, between the Atlanta Hawks vibe the "A" gives, and the forced lightning bolt. Nice effort to give the one alt a Detroit flavor by using the skyline, though--such a bland, generic nickname as Titans needs something to distinguish it from the umpteen similar identities.Overall, these are nice. But that lightning bolt needs to go, and they would've been wise to somehow incorporate some version of our area's ubiquitous Olde English "D" (there are a couple others commonly seen around town besides the Tigers' variation, such as the one in my sig logo).

MotownMadman11 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I like this logo a lot, I just wish U of D had more than just basketball to even get remotely excited about lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I like this logo a lot, I just wish U of D had more than just basketball to even get remotely excited about lol.Well... How about lacrosse? UDM has both men and women's lacrosse starting this upcoming season. Does that count or would you prefer say, football at the FCS Non-Scholly level?

Mac the Knife Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Makes me want to drop $500 or so, buy a few blocks of Detroit real estate, level it, and build my own college just so you guys could come up with a killer identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arts11 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I like the logo, but it feels more like a secondary than a primary logo for some reason. I guess it's the lack of a "living being" in the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbackdiehard17 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 http://www.detroittitans.com/news.jsp?id=1218129484920They look good.I think they're great logos... but I agree, none of them hit me as a PRIMARY logo, like the FSU Seminole logo or USC Trojan, etc., etc.Very nice logos, but none seem like a primary...cool though High Quality Entertainment for the masses.

Max Power Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 This is the school that use to be known as Detroit Mercy, right?Not a big fan of the tail on the S, but otherwise it's pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 This is the school that use to be known as Detroit Mercy, right?They're still the University of Detroit Mercy; the athletics dept. is just de-emphasizing the "Mercy" portion of their name.

Brian in Boston Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 A marked improvement over their former logo. I love the attention to detail on the shield. The lightning-bolt tail on the "S" is forced, but hardly cause for alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the outside-the-box thinking that more colleges need to approach. Give some local design firms a chance, i'll bet they can produce superior work to the national fastfood firms.
