deliver2david Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I don't really think it's a shame. A timeless, classic block font suits a a school like Penn State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcjr81 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I like it. All that negative space in the old one gave me headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 I don't really think it's a shame. A timeless, classic block font suits a a school like Penn State.But they had something that was uniquely theirs. It was Penn State and Penn State only. This is just someone who knows how to change the font color in Word to Navy...I'm not a fan of it. if you want to use the block font, use it. They've used the lame arial "PENNSTATE" font for at least 5 years now and they co-exist. Why can't these co-exist? They were talking about this well before the whole Sandusky/Paterno stuff came out, but you're right in that it probably is accelerated to distance themselves as much as possible (not that it really matters one way or the other with respect to a font).

KJTALBOT Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 This is old news. Penn State went to the Block font a few years ago. Everyone loves a roundel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSox44 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I like it. The previous font looked like a relic from the mid-90s. I like the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I like it. The modern type was to cute for a program like Penn State.

BigDmo Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Very bland script for a bland university. Could their identity be any more bland? Might as well phase out the nittany lion head logo too, might be too much. Just go to a block "PS" logo instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all the adidas schools get free design work. In fact, NHL and NBA teams might get free design work if they use the outfitter for their design projects as well, but I don't know for sure on that one.
