It would have been the same thing with the other concepts submitted its likely that they would have made some adjustments to their original ideas. I think the Storrusten logo nailed the clean modern thing far better than SME did. As for the whole feathers thing... I honestly think that that in a few years it will be less of an issue then people think. But you could probably adjust the design slightly on the first logo to make it look like a wing and you'd be okay, as for the second one just remove the feathers (also tone down the agressive features on the eyes and beak). They' re both cool looking but I like the first one a little better for some reason. The green one would've never past cuz the way the feathers are hanging off the head it looks to NA. I was gonna type out the 2 words but I thought that was swearing. Quote

The first one is infinitely better but neither would fly. Again, head dress on a bird. I think it looks dumb and the admin wouldn't allow it for being native imagery. Also it doesn't make sense.

GreenWing Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 I don't remember how the interlocking logo rebrand went, but we ended up with a few versions of it. Does anyone remember if they were all released as a part of the rebrand or did they just adapt them as needed to work with new uniforms or other applications? This logo will be very limited if they don't allow outlines or color variations. Quote

It is a great logo that doesn't look like it should be on the side of a company truck and it feels like it could be a North Dakota logo (sme tried to make it a North Dakota logo in about the most forced way possible). But again the fact that a bird has feathers and Indians have feathers means this is way out of bounds. I was hoping Schafer would try to at least pump the brakes on this runaway train but he did not. I'm holding out that this is just a sacrificial logo that will get us past this phase where we pick logo and names to make every one but members of the school and state happy and then we can regroup and put something real and meaningful into place.

Apparently I am in the minority, but I think that the second one is significantly better than the first one. I am not sure what it is, but I just don't like the first one very much. The second one, if you are the state out and give it less curve on the beak would be my vote. Quote

90siouxfan Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Maybe everyone should just design their own, put them on a t shirt and everyone have their own personalized logo? 4 Quote

A logo everyone can agree on? Haha, good luck with that. The problem for a big number of UND fans is that any new logo is not the Sioux logo, so they'll never accept it. 1 Quote

GeauxSioux Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Maybe it has just grown on me over the past few days, but I would take UND's new logo over either of these concept logos. I just wish they wouldn't have gotten rid of the interlocking logo. Quite unexpected. Quote

Prison_Mike Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 The new logo looks like a pissed off Twitter bird. Quote

I voted for rough riders as well, it would have been easier to come up with something unique for the logo, but we are stuck with fighting hawks for the foreseeable future so best not to dwell on it. My bet is that the SME logo won't last as the primary logo for very long, and I would also guess the it will never be used except as a very small shoulder patch on the hockey Jerseys (if at all). I would speculate the the alumni foundation will get pressure to start looking for an alternative logo just like they did with the last Sioux logo. Quote

We've seen a couple really cool logos floating around yet we end up with the most bland looking thing. literally a couple lines drawn and some color. A junior high student could've drawn that and been rich right now Quote
tho0505 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Anyone else notice the new logo and wording is removed from the UND website? Is this something or just wishful thinking on my part? Quote
