leggman01 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 did a quick search of the forum to see if this had been covered, and couldn't find anything...just found this logo the other day...the bulldog itself isn't bad, but that buffaslug embellishment simply doesn't work...and the nickname is gyrenes...really...i always thought that was a somewhat derogatory term for marines, but apparently nothttp://www.amuathletics.com/home/default/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Ah, the Gyrene.Based on the nickname for "Government Issue Marines".Makes sense for a Catholic University. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliott Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Wow. I actually like the way the bulldog head is rendered, but when it's attached to that leaping slug shape, it's just awful. Looks like a very quickly moving decapitated dog head. Dribbble ... Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a very quickly moving decapitated dog head.I always wondered why the St. Louis Ram's logo never gets any heat? I'm a Rams fan and like the logo, but at the same time the Buffaloslug was trashed and they kinda have similar concept. Just wondering if people get my comparison? I'm sure there are others, maybe the Charlotte Bobcats, that have a logo that's just a head with a streak behind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Wow. I actually like the way the bulldog head is rendered, but when it's attached to that leaping slug shape, it's just awful.

I'm sure there are others, maybe the Charlotte Bobcats, that have a logo that's just a head with a streak behind...I think it has much less to do with the concept of a head logo that shows motion by ending in something of a streak (see also Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos, etc.) and much more to do with the simple garishness and the lack of coming through on a number of claims such as that they were going back to their roots (it's yellow and a shade of blue, that's it) and that they were going to feature their actual namesake, a sabre sword more prominently.In another time and place, that logo and uniform set might have been accepted and even praised. But it was just stunning how poorly it fit when it was unveiled. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottysprings Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 The indistinct Buffaslug element looks pretty bad but I love the rendering of the bulldog's head on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
