usuaggiefan Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 One thing that's always bothered me on this site is the lack of logos for Utah State University and the low quality of the ones that the site does have. I have most of the school's logos over time in PNG and Illustrator formats. How can I get them to the owner of the site to get posted? Here are links to them on an Aggie Message board.Currenthttp://www.usufans.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5576 (Primary)http://www.usufans.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5575http://www.usufans.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5578http://www.usufans.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5579http://www.usufans.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5581http://www.usufans.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10567http://www.usufans.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=106011992-1994http://www.usufans.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=55831991http://www.usufans.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=187601973-1990http://www.usufans.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=118241968-1969http://www.usufans.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=189471964-1967http://www.usufans.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5582All of the current logos are being retired later this month when a new identity is revealed on April 28th. I also have all of the current logos for Utah Valley University in similar formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjbean216 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 You would happen to have weber state's historical and current logos, would ya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usuaggiefan Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 You would happen to have weber state's historical and current logos, would ya?I have Weber's current primary logo and somewhere I have the one with the golden spike as well. I don't have much outside of those 2 though. It took a ton of work to build this collection of USU logos. I had to sift through old media guides, eBay listings and look at old merchandise with the logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Good luck with this. I've attempted on numerous occasions to get the logo page for Nicholls State University (my undergrad alma mater) updated with no success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailstateunis Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The ones from 64-69 are great. Better than the current primary. If the rumors are true about a new logo, a modernazation of those would be a good idea. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Good luck with this. I've attempted on numerous occasions to get the logo page for Nicholls State University (my undergrad alma mater) updated with no success.Pretty much all of the college logos on the mothership are stuck in 2005. My school has been phasing out the one on the site in favor of this one for quite some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just a rumor that they are getting a new logo this year. There is a Nike Logo Reveal Press Conference scheduled for April 28 at 12:30 Mountain Time and the new logo's are just a big U with State written across them. They aren't bad but definitely could be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I e-mailed Angelus Pacific and they verified that they created it but didn't have any more information outside of that that. I'm going to have to do some more research. I found an eBay listing from 2008 of a Decal set that included this decal. I'd love to find it somewhere but I think I may be out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usuaggiefan Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Wish I had a bigger version, but if you get it enlarged and cleaned up, share it with us, please.I decided to vectorize and clean up the one that you posted. It's probably not perfect but it's pretty good. You can get the Illustrator and PNG files here: http://www.usufans.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19193Any news on the new Utah state logo?Nothing new. I have a copy of it and have described a little bit of what it looks like earlier in this thread. Nike designed it all and will be unveiling it on April 28 at 12:30 Mountain Time just prior to the Spring Football game. They will be streaming the press conference live here if anyone is interested. The stream will be here: http://www.utahstateaggies.com/allaccess/?media=312931 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spearhead Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I noticed you used a different font for your revision. I added Upsilon Bold to it to bring it more in line with the original decal: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnhrvy16 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Wow...even having been a former Aggie, I've never seen this logo anywhere before. That's pretty great. I think it'd be awesome on a T-Shirt! The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

usuaggiefan Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 I noticed you used a different font for your revision. I added Upsilon Bold to it to bring it more in line with the original decal:I didn't actually use a font. I ended up just tracing the letters from the original. The one part that's hard to tell from the original is if the corners are straight edged or if they have rounded edges. I chose to go with rounded edges because I couldn't tell. If they are straight then your font is almost spot on except with the A and the G which are quite different from the original.Wow...even having been a former Aggie, I've never seen this logo anywhere before. That's pretty great. I think it'd be awesome on a T-Shirt!I've been an Aggie fan my entire life and have been collecting old logos from anywhere I could find them and this is the first time that I've seen this one. There are a lot of people over at USUFans.com that are wanting shirts as well. It'd be pretty expensive to do them though with a small run. I contacted the company that designed it and they confirmed that they did actually design it but they couldn't give me any more information. They don't keep a very good historical record of old projects...especially ones that are 60 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
