News New George Mason Logo

[emjayar08]

Gotta love the logo variation trifecta haha

Logo still hasn’t grown on me. after seeing this posted on X today, I hate it even more.

That’s a terrible graphic, but made worse with new logo on a dark background. Should definitely use the reverse color version in this situation

The fact that someone has to choose between two color variations of the logo is a reason this logo sucks. Anyone outside of Mason won't know there are two variations. Even most Mason students and alumni probably wont even realize there are two variations. Guaranteed the logo is going to be used in the less appealing color variation all the time like the recruit did and the A10 did in the graphic posted serveral posts above.

Gunnie, quit the shtick. Dude in the right light with some photoshopping I look like Ryan Gosling

This isn't that 2-face girl in Seinfeld that looks good sometimes this is an abomination and I'd appreciate as always if somebody set themselves on fire to send Mason a powerful message

Old guys here you have the least life left just saying

I read somewhere that the founder and CEO of the small design firm that Mason hired to create this abomination was proud that she was "a C student" in college.

Hire underachievers, get an uninspiring logo.

This is Ologie's logo. This should have been a red flag right from the start.

Honestly, I think the dislike and disgust of the branding would be better directed towards the powers that be at GMU.

Funny that they boast that they have worked with "over 250 clients across all types of education," and show logos of some of the colleges they have worked with, but Geo Mas, which they designed in full, is not on their page.

Do even they know that the logo isn't their best work?

On another note, my sources tell me that their Creative Director is considering trying out for the position and likeness of our future mascot:

Yes! Do it, do it. Let us NOT suffer alone!

That would be awesome. But could Ologie meld the F and U together in a way that it seems natural? They couldn't for us.

 

[Verdad]

Somehow they’ll make the F look like an H, and they will be the new Howard University- North

My bet is that Fordham’s logo will come out better than ours.

I’m curious - were any of us on these message boards included in the focus groups? I’d love to ask what that was like and hear what the general comments were at the time.

I participated in a zoom meeting with a few others on here back in January. While we never saw any possible new logos, I recall a lot of the discussion was around the old logo and how/why it didn't really connect with a lot of us. I do remember discussion about how having a school logo and an athletics logo that intertwined would be nice instead of two that were totally unrelated. At one point there was some talk about the old GM logo and how people liked it/prefered it over the star logo. Really, the gist of it was nobody had a connection with the star logo.

this is why the school won't increase any revenue because of the new blah logo.

if I were to change the logo, the primary reason would be for revenue. they failed in all regards other than to add their new tagline to be altogether different. they missed. and failed. and should be held to that standard of failure.
