Birds have feathers. It's a stylistic familiarity and nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchyAlum11 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 If Nokota's were rejected as a nickname simply for sounding and being spelled similar to a native tribe then I highly doubt the PC gestapo would let any logo with any native american design elements, such as feathers. Nokota is the state's official horse breed, found only in the badlands of North Dakota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Don't expect to see a bird in a native head dress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runaroundsioux Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 A story on the news the other night said after the logos are submitted, Ed Schaefer will pick the winner. So there's hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be only one amongst us who doesn't understand that you can't pull the feathers over the NCAA's eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discuss Impressive draw in terms of national scope. Maybe a little bit surprised at the lack of local designers tossing their hat in the ring. Was the bar set too high?

geaux_sioux Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 It's really interesting to look at how different the websites are for these firms. Some are pretty imressive, the best easily being 160over90. Others, like Phoenix make you wonder how they allow their website to be so outdated when design is the basis of their business. Just by glancing at portfolios I'd prefer Torch Creative, 160over90, Capsule, or SME Inc. SME did a fantastic job with the Northern Arizona rebrand recently.

I like all four you mentioned but I'd say SME, Torch Creative and 160over90 had the most impressive sports related clients and work. Capsule is from the area so they may get the nod. Really, any of those 4 would do a good job. I'd love for the local Admonkey agency to surprise everybody but I don't see this being in their scope of work. All I want is a great logo, cause everything involved with this name change up to this point has been sup par in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said maybe they'll surprise us all. I'd love to have someone local to design it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
