News New George Mason Logo

[EXpatriot13]

I'm over the new logo at this point, but what is this "GM" that I've seen them use at times in the arena? It's not only not the new logo, but it's not one of the "legacy" GM's either.

I know this SHOULD be a tired subject by now, but I just can't get over it, even when I try.

Instead of "getting used to it", or having it "grow on me", I seem to get more angry, and embarrased on behalf of the university, every time that I see it. Especially on the court, where it looks to be misplaced due to the court center line.

This should NEVER be a topic that we get tired of. That's exactly what the administration wants us to do. They want us to get used to it and just accept it. As long as we continue to complain and boycott, that will give us hope in the future that they might eventually change it.

Excluding Mason staff members, I think I've only seen like 2 fans wearing new logo stuff at the games. I love how everyone is still rocking old logo gear. Keep it up!

Its the wordart version of our logo

I'll say I'm not as bitter about the new logo as some, but at least we're not Jaguar.

Mason is just Mason, but Jaguar is iconic. And the designers response is so Masonesque.

Should have been tipped off not to use that guy by his inability to hit shift at the same time as a letter key.

That commercial guarantees that I would not buy a Jaguar.

Not sure why you’d ever buy one anyway. They’ve been a mess for decades. Over-priced “luxury” for unreliable performance.

I wouldn't. Just commenting on the commercial.

Oh. My. God. Everyone should watch that commercial to experience the sheer terribleness of it. Where those adult teletubbies?!

 

[gmubrian]

I just realized that many of us have not been rebranded yet. For example, do I have to change my name from gmubrian to gmbrian?

I think you need change change your masonhoops name in its entirety. Brian is too gender specific and doesn't embody the George Mason population as a whole and it might offend a non-existant population.

Technically and legally, you should now be gmbrianTM. Thanks for your cooperation.

Yeeesh... they cut their own balls off. Shame.

I was just about to post about this (as it didn't fully register when you posted it) since I had seen it at the last several games.

Part of me hopes they are "softening" on the new logo. Since it is part of a sequence that seems to end in the new logo, another part of me thinks they have realized how bad the new logo is that they have to show you that it is supposed to be GM and not CMTM.

The final part of me (the part I think is correct) thinks that this is Mason being Mason and after spending (wasting) so much money on a horrible logo, that they are breaking their own fresh branding guidance (AGAIN) and diluting the brand right from the get go.

Simplest answer is usually the correct answer.

I like it better than the current one - let's go with that.

Yeah, the logo is what it is. But I'm still hoping they will see the error of their ways, and come up with a better one.

I’m really not a fan of the GM without the U either way. It’s kind of dumb they don’t want to use U because, why, vcu and ODU use it?
