AAO Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 They're all terrible, I suppose option 1 would be the best of the three...the use of fur and shade are very similar to the NIU logo. It's not a blatant rip off, but theres definitely a lot of inspiration from it."Hey, lets fold the ears down and shorten the snout; change the colors...nobody will know!"

BaltimoreFan Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Update: I logged into my e-mail this morning and Option 1 is the winner. The logo will go into effect next school year (Sept. 2010). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Option 1 is the winner. The logo will go into effect next school year (Sept. 2010). But the logo is already in effect -- at NIU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas718 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 #1 looks more like a beagle than a retriever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMcD29 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I just thought of this going through the Inside Lacrosse 2010 Yearbook the other night, but is it me or do the schools in Maryland all have the same basic script then animal look to it? Because with UMBC's new look they've got the same basic idea as Maryland and Hopkins with their logos. Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Seriously, no one sees this?There are some similarities, but you're really stretching things if you think it's a rip-off.

GFB Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Seriously, no one sees this?There are some similarities, but you're really stretching things if you think it's a rip-off.Ok, throw out any differences because of two different breeds of dogs. Colors, ears, facial placement. Ignore all of it. Now look at the design style. Look where one design has a notch. You'll see some kind of replication on it's counterpart. Look at the way the nose, mouth, eyes, and fur are projected. It's quite obvious the designer put ZERO thought and originality into the design.

scottysprings Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I'd say it's at least significantly inspired by the NIU logo and the artist was pretty blatant in borrowing design elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those elements do make up part of the UMBC design.Also, the final logo has different eyes, differentiating the two marks further.
