andrewharrington Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 They probably had to take them down because they forgot to remove the ripoff sketches. Bottom left of the top page =for example. Or the Mountain West didn't want all the process to be shown, possibly.

logoman Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I like the one using the star to make the M and the W. Of course, I would since those are my initials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkdesign Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 So... let me guess, some genius who runs the league thought having a "Mountain" in the Mountain West logo was too cliche. Also the Fact that an "M" and a "W" could combine for a simple mountain range was just too easy. Thoughts?

mmejia Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I think the top of the "MW" creates a pretty clear representation of a mountain peak with the light source coming from the right. Colored with grey and purple, it slightly resembles the mountains in the Colorado Rockies logo. It shows a better resemblance to the mountains in McCall's Rockies concept from a year or two ago on the concept board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I immediately thought of the pointed top as a mountain as well.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 This is depressing...Depressing? It's the Mountain West. It's not like expectations were sky high for this unveiling, like they were for the Big Ten last year. And the previous MWC logo was pretty boring and bland to begin with, so I don't see how this can be much of a downgrade at all.are you kidding? expectations should be a high for any D1 conference to have a nice conference logo. most NCAA conferences have very good ones. Heck, even the NAIA has good ones.the old logo had personality, and uniqueness. the new one is so bland...I could have done better with 5 minutes in inkscape.

I actually tried to see what you claim is there, and while I agree that your position has merit it still makes the logo way to abstract for its own good.

I can see BrandNstudio's point and it seems valid but it really is too abstract imo. I just don't think this logo makes a good athletic conference logo, it's not an overly creative design and it would look pretty bad as a uniform patch.

leggman01 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 this concept could have been executed using snow-capped peaks in both the M and W...perhaps would have had a little more "mountain" feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
