When will the new logo be released?

I speculate it will be after our basketball season wraps up and, hopefully, shortly after that.

No idea. Its already created though. So Summer would make the most logical sense but know knows. Anything I know about it came from a major booster. Since it's not officially announced, I guess anything could change in between.

The logo will be out after the completion of the study about the logo being eligible from the eligibility board that @GMUSSTN has mentioned.

(Spring time for the logo)

Created. That's great news! Can't wait to see it/them.
I SO hope it's not a loser like this one, or even the more awful synchronized swimming ribbon one. I remember I called the athletic office to ask what it stood for. The guy didn't have a clue, and told me he hated it too.

This is too big of news to be buried in the Adidas Gear thread... splitting this off.

Does anyone know the direction of this logo? Is it an updated Star and bars? Or is it leaning into the Patriot? Or the GM?

It can’t be much worse than the shooting star!

I personally like the GM logo. It’s simple and to the point.

 

[GMUSSTN]

I am looking forward to the shooting star being a "ah remember when" nostalgia logo. The GM is nice and straightforward. Even if it's not the one we have right now, the initials "GM" are unique to us and I think it's important to build the brand around that.

 

[DRK331]

The new logo is just the GM logo or something actually new?

G Mas. You heard it here first

I heard months ago that it was in line with the old-style font "GM" similar to the one that appears now as GoMason.com is loading.

Yeah an update on this would be perfect. Honestly I'd be 100% fine if this was just what they moved to.

My thing with athletic logos is they gotta look like they've been around forever. The shooting star is VERY late '90s (which is exactly when it was designed).

Even though I liked the wildcat I think Davidson did this well. It still catched me offguard when I see it sometimes but that'll pass...I think their DC logo is good. vcu on the other hand did their frefresh and their current logo looks very mid/late '00s meanwhile their vintage "VC" logo still holds up.

The current GM logo (the one baseball uses isn't bad either) looks like it was created decades ago. Simple and straightforward.

Brian from Bygeorge mentioned this before the season on one of the twitter spaces.

Any of you insiders seen any renderings. I’d be good with just the GM like the baseball hats.

This is what I was told too.

Personally, I would like to see Mason use two logos. One with just the GM and one maybe similiar too the New England Patriots logo.

Hopefully the correct New England logo...

Will look something in the GW and Davidson genre.

I would like to see two also, a GM and a fierce Patriot.
The GM in the baseball teams cap is too "skinny" for me. The one above is much better. imo.
