  1. We think we have an in-house disagreement. These folks have a disagreement.
  2. Yeah, that's kind of a major milestone moment (August 5, 2005) in the timeline that just got ... wha'? SQUIRREL!
  3. They were putting out a lot of stuff that just isn't so and anyone familiar with the history that got us here surely heard it. That too is about what I expect from the national media. (Makes you wonder about everything you hear from national media.)
  4. Regarding not using the interlocked ND in the future: I seem to recall when the version used by North Dakota was updated, from this to this, there was great noise as well. I recall letters to the GF Herald editor calling for Faison's head. My point? The interlocked has not been this great, unchanging constant that some claim. Nor have football helmets, as evidenced by this.
  5. Some folks had better take a deep breath (or maybe a straight shot of vodka, or maybe a Prozac) before they look at the UND mens hockey Twitter avatar ..
  6. People didn't want "cartoonish". OK, what came out yesterday is clearly not "cartoonish". This is "cartoonish". So we get something not cartoonish and that's all wrong because it's too corporate/abstract. When it comes to logos I see them fall into one of those two categories. So what else is there?
  7. I'd say it fails due to "head dress" but it fails far worse as "cartoonish".
  8. I knew that 740 The Fan in Fargo had a big license and a monster daytime signal but had to turn down at night; but, I didn't realize how big their coverage footprint still is at night. 790 KFGO day and night.
  9. Are you saying we lost a good offensive lineman?
  10. I didn't realize until now that the KC-46 is a twin-engine (Boeing 767 base design). The KC-135 was a quad. I'd think you'd want the "single failure, can still stay in the air" of a quad.
  11. Like I said yesterday, when "Fighting Hawks" won my expectations were set exceedingly low (another "adjective hawk" in the NCAA?). Given that standard to start at, this logo did exceed expectations.
  12. Refresh your browser. It's a cached image thing.
  13. Never liked the NFL PHI helmet. It doesn't make sense. The Rams? Sure. Horns on head. The Vikings? Do the Vikes ever make sense. But they do horns on head*. An eagles wings are on attached just above the eye? Uh, ... no. Give me the hawk head or the lettermark (that I made from the wordmark). *Yeah-yeah, historically vikings never wore horned helmets yadda-yadda ...
  14. Grand Forks AFB has made the short list for a new tanker mission. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/4060685-updated-grand-forks-air-force-base-short-list-tanker-mission
  15. So the Flying J murder case in GF has gone Federal? The Feds have something the State of ND doesn't. It involves Terra Haute, IN ... http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/crime-and-courts/4060265-man-who-flying-j-murder-suspect-went-after-shooting-must-stay-jail
  16. I know the construction is bad in Fargo and Moorhead right now, but seriously? http://www.inforum.com/news/4060829-man-accused-pointing-gun-family-after-encounter-i-94-construction-zone PS - Good advice to Mr. Spilde would be to not try that stunt on 7th Ave North in West Fargo.
  17. Joey Votto, Justin Morneau, and Larry Walker on line 1 for you ....
  18. Dear Drake: SME designed the logo. They were given chicken crap and tried to make chicken salad. Signed, I didn't vote for "chicken crap" but that was the outcome and I've come to peace with it.
  19. “You know, none of us wanted to get rid of the Fighting Sioux nickname. We all recognize that. Even those men and women who had to guide the university through the process of finding a new nickname and logo did not necessarily want to do it, but they had to. They were forced to. So this is where we are. Reality is, UND is now the Fighting Hawks and we have a new logo. While we wish the Fighting Sioux nickname could’ve continued forever, that is not what happened." Those aren't my words. Those are McFeely's. And he's right on that accord.
  20. Constructive criticism: You turn a shaky at best "D" almost into a "P" with what you've done. I'd rather see that whole lower right pointy feature on the "N" erased.
  21. And you would know low-grade ... So how would you feel about this as a logo?
