OT: Athletic departments designing logos for athletes?

[NowInStorrs]

I'm not entirely sure if this is legit or trolling to be honest. The logos give me some serious "Graphic design is my passion" vibes though.

Edit: Upon further digging, USC Hoops retweeted it and posted it a couple of times on their Twitter account so it seems legit.

 

[Adios]

Get used to it. With that being said, I need a brand logo for myself.

Ethan Anderson, welcome to USC. You are being sued by Electronic Arts.

Some of these look almost exactly like current branding…one that jumped out immediately was Paul George. Seems like some possible copyright issues if this is real.

That is cringeworthy

If only there were a way for that to happen. If only.

 

[BGesus4]

They need to fire whoever made those. Looks like a third graders sketches of logos

 

[FatHank]

If I was told to use these I would leave the program, lol.

If I were Reese Waters I'd feel like I got short changed.

His logo looks like they designers had 5 minutes before the assignment was due when they got to his name.
Group think and time crunch = squiggly line by the arts dept. Then the presenter has to think on the fly what the image represents. "It's water. Yeah, it's water".

I think my favorite part about this is that they couldn't even color match the top and bottom border to the background of the logos. Truly heinous in every way.

My favorite part is 'Bloop Bloop'.

Curious if the school is doing this and giving them 100% of the logo rights, or if it’s just another way to milk these kids

NFTs comin' soon as well. Let's go. I'm in on ETH.

 

[the Q]

Tax payer dollars should not be wasted on this

It's a recruiting expense (and by the looks of it, a pretty small expense).

This is literally the type of things the kids should be paying for with their new found fortune

Not to mention you could pay some dude on Fiverr $20 to make a better logo than these.

Don't be one of those losers who creates a brand logo for themselves, probably stealing from another brand to create it. Can't stand those people!!!!

My guess is most will do that but navigating the NIL landscape and helping players manage that will no doubt he a big recruiting pitch going forward. I have much more issue with the results of this help than the actual help itself.

If I'm a graphic arts kid in school (and can draw up some good logos and graphics), I'd setup a hustle for these newfound NIL athletes to get me some Ted's money, a beater car down payment, or heck a new BMW if I latch onto a good one. My pitch would be comission on thier take for media services rendered. Heck, run thier social media for them too. Why not get your cut as well if you can.

There are already websites cropping up on the Internet. I agree, it’s a good play.
