News New Mason Athletics Logo Coming Soon?

[GMUSSTN]

Agreed. I think I'm going heel mode and will fully embrace the change. Love the new logo... LOVE IT!

One of us! One of us!

Even Bracket Busters and A10 Talk have weighed in on X.

Lots of people are making fun of it.

EDIT: VCURamNation is talking about it now.

Assuming the outside line will be used as an outline, it looks more like "q m".

Even not so bright vcu fans will be able to come up with a chant using the Q.

And the "M" looks like we flatlined.

Holy shit, we are going to be known as the Dead Queens (or something similar)!

The M represents our win percentage chance under Hewitt in the second half of games.

 

[tblack33]

Yes, the GM on the baseball caps are not attractive at all. Too "skinny."


So then everyone will suck together.


I thought the same thing...Maze. Puke.


PLEASE be right!!!


M and Quill. My favorite.
Please give us a GMU for sports!!

Old fart prefers logo that reminds him of learning to write as a child, news at 7.

I for one like the new logo...

What do you think?

 

[Walter]

My biggest complaint is the forced fusing of the G into the M. Why do that? That never looks good. And especially when the two letters don't lend themselves to doing it. And, no, the baseball GM doesn't look good either.

Agreed, it doesn't.

This looks like an athletics logo. Looked great on the goal pads, would've looked great at center court. Fantastic for merch. Could it have been cleaned up a bit, sure, but everything that was needed was there.

I am disappointed that it was never given its chance to shine as the primary athletics mark.

I hope that those involved explain their thought process and ultimate decision.

As a well-compensated word salad maker, I can see this one coming a mile away.

I must admit, I'm amazed at the level of vitriol directed at both old and new logos. As Betty White said about the Facebook campaign in support of getting her to host SNL many years ago, "What an enormous waste of time!"

A10talk is ran by nerdy kids. That bracket buster account has like 1,000 followers and who GAF what RamNation says? They haven’t been relevant in years.

I understand not liking it, but the public whining on Twitter is embarrassing.

I like the new logo but you're spot on here...this was already in use and looks great. Could have saved a lot of money by just rolling with this.

At the same time looks like they wanted a full university rebrand vs. just one for athletics...that means they'd have to move away from this one since it's already got associations elsewhere.

I think once the full color new logo plus all the additional branding gets revealed people will pipe down. It's not going to be in black and white and there is more to a rebrand than just a logo.

To your point, the design element that I like most in the rebrand is not present in the black and white version. It's a shame that everyone's first impressions are being drawn from something less than the full product.

That said, I remain underwhelmed, but I don't think it's quite the disaster that this thread would indicate.

You guys were much more interesting before you became just a mouthpiece for official Mason admin policy.

I dunno man I have sent over 400 emails to President Washington today so he should know how bad this all looks for us

Haha… are you the barometer for interesting? Those popcorn reviews really slap!

But we are not a mouthpiece we were just loosely involved in the rebrand. In fact we had a meeting with one of the guys in charge of the rebrand and he said one of our tweets clowning the logo and the inconsistencies in our colors helped lead to their larger discussion of everything a few years ago.

I’m willing to give it all time to breathe. But keep whining, that should change things. You have a ton of pull.
