well it is a slight improvement, but still pretty boring. But then again it's George Mason.

I think the old one looked better and was better designed than this new one. Maybe a bit behind the times, but the black in the new one is unnecessary and the way I see it, the added dimensionality of the star conflicts with the perspective.

If I didn't know better, I'd say the old one looks like a campaign logo for a candidate named George Mason.

Interesting that on the new one "George" was removed. I wonder if going forward they are going to be known as the "Mason Patriots"? Maybe they feel they can build a better national identity if the university doesn't appear to be a man's name.

i think both of them our alittle dull.

the old one had class to it, this new one looks like the Chargers' bolts mixed with the star from the TX Rangers' old logo.

my verdict: the new one blows.

Not a big fan of the revamp. My wife and I actually do some design work for George Mason. They revamped their entire school identity system as well. A local company in Arlington, VA got the contract and pretty much milked the school dry in my opinion. The logo is pretty hard to use according to ther standards. Wish i would have gotten a sniff at that job for the money they paid
