M with the quill isn’t a good athletics logo for me. GMU by itself might not have the recognition factor, Mason is a nickname that no one knows and George Mason is too big for a logo.
Patriots is a bit generic too and there are a lot of green and gold schools.
In other words finding a great logo that will provide instant recognition and make students and alums happy is harder to pull off than we all might think. It can be done but don’t get your hopes up about improving on the PSA style shooting star.
