F'n Hawks Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I am a big University of North Dakota and Notre Dame football fan........ It has never bothered me for both of them to have the interlocking ND logo..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 True or False: The new logo could've been rolled out as a direct gift from the Almighty with the cure to cancer and the answer to middle east peace written on it and there would still be about 25% of people that would hate it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I talked to someone today that didn't like the new logo. I showed them my avatar. They liked that. I said it was cut from the logo. They didn't believe me. Are there folks out there so focused on the color foreground that they can't see the hawk in the negative white space of the logo? (This isn't a logo question; this is a vision and perception question.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to rectangle. Still don't understand how an interim president gets to decide on a final logo. Maybe the next president will allow students to create a second and third logo that we all can agree on. An interim president fired Brady Hoke and hired Jim Harbaugh, so, yea... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tho0505 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 After a couple days, I still can't believe on the opportunity lost by the school, administration, and athletic department. With a half decent logo, both Sioux forever fans and all fans would have been able to "heal" and move on. Just give me a generic clip art hawk to wear. I am still at a lost of words how bad our corporate logo is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan didn't need an interim president to fire Hoke. That was a lay up. Apples to oranges. Hoke needed to be fired. The school gave fans an opportunity to choose a name, but NOT a logo. One man chose the logo and it looks terribly ugly, even on the press conference tshirt he wore. Clearly this never went to a focus group of fans, else you would get 70% of people disliking the logo on the Herald website. If anything was the most important decision it was the logo, NOT the nickname. I would take the Sundogs, Blizzards, or any other stupid name, as long as it has a half decent logo that we can be proud of. That's the problem, this logo does nothing for "moving on," and instilling pride in North Dakota. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does need work, but the eye looks amazing. The love the rigidness of the logo, for sure the beak needs work, but this type of logo could help ALL move on from the Sioux logo and this postal service logo. At this point, why would we nitpick Brien's logo? It would be a top ten logo in college hockey. Now we have a logo that doesn't even fit in in a group of logos.

They managed to incorporate elements from the old Sioux logos in a subtle way and came up with a real winner. Three feathers like the Brien and Blackhawk logos and the "N" is a tribute to the Geometric logo. It is as "Sioux" looking as could possibly be done and at the same time it is the new identity. I was hoping that they could find a way to honor the past while moving forward and they hit it. Roll out the merchandise. Wtf? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I see the logo next to others, the more I like it. I'd take it over every other NCAA logo here except St. Cloud's, and the majority of these NHL logos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eye is good but the rest is really not good (I've been trying to resist the urge to call it straight up bad out of respect for Bennet Brien, but....). I feel quite confident saying if SME had released the Bennet Brien logo and Bennet Brien released the clean SME logo, most of the complainers would be cheerleading the clean look.

Well I wouldn't say lost, adding a new logo is a much much easier process, one that they will probably start on a lot quicker if the new logo doesn't perform well. Despite Bubba's call to embrace the new logo, I doubt people are going to be running out in droves to buy gear with the UND post offi... er I mean the fighting hawks logo. People will likely rush to buy up non nickname apparel. I almost want to believe the put out a logo they knew most of us would hate just so we would be focusing on getting a better fighting hawks logo, and not complaining about how much the new nickname sucks.

Well I think the thing to keep in mind with the Bennett Brien Hawk logo is that it is a just a concept, if they had hired him to do the new logo their would have likely be several more permutations before submitted a final design or designs. 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).

Just like I"m sure most people ask why mosquitoes were necessary and why Kevin Costner is so successful despite having no ability to emote.
