Just want to make it clear that there are no "modifications" being done. The logo was decided on, and released, while Schafer was President so Kennedy would hopefully not have to deal with any of it. Please let one be on an outline of the State. I think that'd be a good shoulder patch or helmet logo when you already have the context of "North Dakota" from the rest of the uniform. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I do like the outline and shading. Anyone you can mock up a version with they tips and the D they way they currently are but with this type of shading?

77iceman Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 This is the most realistic version of the current logo that I'm betting will appear. Add a simple black outline to the existing artwork. (adding the black to the feathers was something i threw out there to appease my own design sense) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the negative space on the white is what makes it look so nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't use Photoshop - I am a complete amateur playing around with different logo concepts using software that is not at all meant for graphic design. The "six different shades of green" is beyond my control; it's a by-product of smoothing the image out so that it doesn't contain sharp edges that are a result of cutting/pasting different components of the logo. Thanks for the feedback though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly, when it's no green there may just be a white outline that blends right into the hawk head. I just absolutely hated that t-shirt in the press conference . . . an unacceptable use of the logo if i were writing the brand guide.

I'm not so sure given the "hawk" we just inherited; SME and Ed could've goofed up roughriders as well and given us a monkey riding a bucking zebra. Although that would at least be original.

News flash for everyone. 99.9% of the world (let a alone this country) couldn't find North Dakota on a map. It doesn't matter if people mistake our ND for Notre Dame, they are a nationally recognized brand. To think this new logo is going to magically make UND more relevant from a national brand standpoint, is a far stretch. Not only will this logo not make us stand out more, but doesn't look good anyways. Mississippi, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota, all get confused with one another at times. Who cares really, it doesn't lessen the impact of the school and it's athletic program. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
