Not a fan of that green.

I believe he mentioned the right green doesn't transfer over to this website.

Yup, I used the official colors. The green got all jacked up. Going through imgur helped though.

Here are the three geaux_sioux created with the proper green:

 

 

For example. ^ that is the correct green.

g_s thanks for your work on this - good job making us think & get excited about the possibility - I agree 100% that those that have not been involved can't possibly understand 

Like the idiot cub reporter from the Fargo Foolum that asked Schloss why he cares & covers this - I'd say because he gets it & obviously this reporter doesn't - just imagine what out of State "professionals " that for $$$ only will present 

& who is going to choose ?

[geaux_sioux]

If you want a local artist or designer to do the logo the best bet as always is to email the people in charge like Faison Walton Kelley and Johnson and let them know.

Insularity, arrogance, self-importance.  North Dakota in a nutshell.

God forbid UND look for the best and most qualified, or even dare to look outside of Grand Forks.  Because, hey, we just got rid of a head logo, in profile, looking left, with colored feathers, and that one worked well enough for us.  So, instead of opening our minds to new ideas, let's just hunker down and do the same, exact thing...in bird form.

I was wondering when someone would come on here and completely rip the first actual valuable contribution to a logo I've yet to see. You're right Noise, geauxsioux should be ashamed of posting this well thought out logo that people are in favor of. 

Party on Garth!

Make the eye all red and we're the albino Hawks.  #Unique

Interesting. Must have been my subconscious.

Oh, maybe people have issues because these so called outsiders pushed us towards this less than unique nickname.  So, if we have the same outsiders pick the logo, we could very well end up with the same result, when for a lot of us, a great logo is needed to salvage some sort of pride out of our new nickname.  Pardon us for knowing what we like without being pushed in a direction in what we should like.  Obviously many of us like the theme behind geaux sioux's preliminary design, and would like to see how it could look with the right tweaks.

I would have gone with hearty, loyal, and honest but that's just me I guess.

I thought I saw something else across the feathers on the neck...

 

 

 

All the the more reason to really like this logo.

Fighting Hawks Forever!!! 

[geaux_sioux]

I sent an email to Faison and Walton. Walton replied how I figured she would. Basically she reiterated the whole request for proposals process and how UND is not soliciting or accepting suggestions outside of that process. It seems clear that the only way the public will get what they want is to make enough noise. Once again the best way is bombard Faison, Kelley, Walton, and Johnson with emails expressing your opinion in a professional way.

Gear up!! 

[Cratter]

I wonder if we'll see people adding in their own periods to the merchandise. 

H.A.W.K.S.

[SWSiouxMN]

The name was used 6 times tonight at the hockey game.

Not surprisingly it was LOUDLY booed each time, especially after the first DU goal

[dagies]

[ericpnelson]
