News New George Mason Logo
- Thread starter The Great PATSby
- Start date
DC's logo is bad too. This trend of overlapping letters with one higher than the other is almost as bad as melding the two letters together. We did both.
Are we the GM (tm) George Mason® Athletics or the George Mason Patriots?

We're no longer the Patriots. In confusion, it's too closely related to "Colonialism" which offended 3 students because it represents the exploitation, suppression, and violence over other cultures.

It looks even worse when surrounded by other logos. And with the exception of the Spiders, those are not great logos.

Least we're not represented by a big "L". I guess it could always be worse...
All but Dayton kinda stink
It just looks so thin. It could have been a fine logo if they just made it chunkier
Looks like they removed UMass in preparation for their departure.
That’s what I said. Just make the secondary color an outline rather than three lines of equal weight. It would improve the logo a lot. Just look at Rhode Island’s (which also stinks) and GW’s (which is only slightly better because that font is woof ugly). Still looks better because there is weight to the letters
Davidson’s is pretty awful. So is Duquesne’s. SLU’s little Billikin is the right kind of hilariously bad to be good and makes me think we just use the dumb Patriot face as the logo—dumb Patriot face with his jaunty GM tricorner hat.

The 3 Rams should play a round-robin to figure out who the TRUE RAMS are. Losers have to pick new names/mascots.
I think what’s worse is how poor the logo rollout has been. I’ve accepted this is now our logo, but they’ve done a poor job making sure internal and external parties are following the new brand guidelines.
This graphic from the A10 shouldn’t be using the green outside/gold inside version on a dark background, looks horrible. The baseball team is probably the biggest offender on how they’ve leaned into the new branding on their graphics. Just a few examples, but if you want people to buy in and build brand recognition, you have to be consistent and prioritize quality control.
Anytime the logo is going to be used on a dark background, they need to scrap the green as the outer color because it blends into the background.
Man, how do all those schools protect their IP without giant TM symbols on their branding? What's the trick?!
Much better look!
Given the level of unbridled enthusiasm that the boards have expressed over the logo, I'm sure there are tons of you who would be interested in taking advantage of these suggestions!
