That's all we've heard for months, especially on here...designers need to do this, designers need to do that, I want a lollipop, designers need to hear from me, my opinion matters, look at what I drew. There needs to be an absolute moratorium on future negative logo comments by anyone on here who lives within 100 miles of GF and didn't bother to show up. 100 miles? OK, Dad.

UND1983 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 There is a second public meeting tomorrow at 11:30am at Union. Hopefully, everyone within a 3,000 mile radius will be there. That is IF you care about the logo at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing more to say. Maybe SME should look at the 12 criteria for the new name that came out of those meetings (criteria that was totally ignored by Karl G and co. on the task force). I am still so pissed and embarrassed with what we ended up with; f'n hawks! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That alone would justify showing up at one of SME's forums, or at least reaching out through whatever online surveys, e-mail, etc., they put out there. Don't assume they're being provided anything.

They will start with five designs, then narrow it down to three, and then finally two. Once at two they will test the concepts. They asked six questions in regard to the logo/branding and allowed time for comments/discussion. *If you're interested in providing feedback, here is the Survey Monkey link Will they allow us to vote for "no logo" basically and just keep interlocking UND? Wait, haven't we been down that road before and then at the last minute..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagies Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I listened to the Sit Down and Cheer podcast this afternoon, and Conor Flaherty from SME certainly said all of the right things. Now, we'll see if they carry through. Worth a listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that's it's a play on the name of the school song, but the title alone makes it sound like it's a boring, waste of time and nothing to get excited about.

It's weird because they "Sit Down" with guests. I mean, I'd rather listen to them conduct interviews on a treadmill, but this will have to suffice.

Fetch Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I like to sit down & drink beer but I usually stand to cheer Didn't I hear him say he won't make this week's Hockey expirence - that will be a must do - wish we could be granted some time where the old logo & new could have been used together some how - We all know the Sioux logo & name is gone except to keep the trademark but how cool would of it been to have both for one run - -with old welcoming new & new thanking old for their beloved history - one trying to pass the Pride to the next - if that is possible or makes any sense ? ? ? & who wouldn't want to own some of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetch Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Now that the real change is almost here why can't there be a more positive transition ?
