New Husky Logos

[JB75]

Thats awful. Bring back the old husky face. Why they always have to mess with stuff? Unreal

 

[Hoophound]

I like the current logo. Should probably be all white though. I suspect that those of you who like the old logo are, well, old.

I know this is a logo thread, but going back to the Big East we need to bring back a modernized version of the uniforms from the early-mid 1990's...The Big East teams have great alternate uniforms, very classic and traditional.

For the millionth time, our logo is a Siberian Husky. The happy fluffy one you probably prefer is a Samoyed.

the old one was a white alaskan malamute, the other popular "husky" breed. they are much bigger and tougher than samoyeds, which are also in the spitz family but are not referred to as huskies.

“For the millionth time,” our mascot is a white husky. Stepping away from that tradition was branding stupidity. I have no problem with it being a “less fluffy“ white husky, or even a less friendly white husky, but every mascot we’ve ever had excluding the first and the current has been a white husky, not a Samoyed.

Not a fan of our current wolf logo and I am not a fan of these "additions" either. At least this graphic design does not seem stolen, yet

White malamutes are not common. I definitely always thought the old logo was a samoyed, but it's hard to tell with that cartoon grin on its face.

The old logo was a Samoyed despite what CL82 or anyone else tries to tell you. The artist based it off their own dog, a Samoyed.

The artist who drew the logo before the one we’re talking about said that she based it on her Samoyed. The Logio immediately prior to our current onecis a “cartoonized version“ of her drawing of a white husky, based on a Samoyed.

I actually really like the current design. Its an improvement from the previous logo. I never cared for the tongue hanging out of the previous logo.

I'm a bit surprised the marketing dept came up with another new logo(s). The current logo still seems brand new to me.

Is this their way of saying the current logo has been a failure?

I work at a company with a strong sales team, and marketing?... not so much. They never push any ideas promotions or strategies through the ones who actually no the industry and CNN particular markets and needs. Bet Hurley and co. Never even got a look at this and worse they did and the marketing geniuses ignored them.

If I recall correctly, it was a female artist who did the logo. You’re absolutely right that she said she basted on her Samoyed, but our mascot has been white husky. But you know that right?

Yes but our national brand, what we've been know to for fans across the country and the thing fans on this board freak out about since our siberian husly logo is the white samoyed logo. Most people around the country have no ides we actually have a live animal mascot. Jonathan isn't Uga the bulldog.

Another toothless logo. Looks like a picture of a stuffed puppy dog.

 

[freescooter]

They just keep getting worse and worse. Ugh. This looks like the Musket Dog on steroids.

 

[DOZE860]

this is a picture of the current real life mascot, as a puppy.. he is not all white.. so until the next Johnathan is born, and happens to be all white, and this one is retired, we have the two toned husky logo, which i don't mind.. juss sayin

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Why isn’t everyone so worked up over this lol. That’s not going in on jerseys or anything. It’s to put on kids stuff who cares

 

[huskyinfl]

Alternate in that UConn should only wear this in some alternate universe not in this one

Of course we had a white husky for 75 years and this one came AFTER we changed the logo to a 2-toned one.

1) Hurley and Co. don’t care these are just for mostly kids and fun shirts they can sell. It won’t appear at any athletic events.
2)Hurley and Co. have been working on throwback jerseys that will be here in time for next year. Those logos won’t appear on them lol

I'd love to know the genius who thought it was a smart idea to change the logo back in 2013.

Imagine changing a logo that was recognizable and linked to winning.

I think because they have consistently screwed this logo thing up. Instead of a white husky they did the clip art thing. Now this mess

Nike made a major push for it. They are the ones that designed it for free and for new merchandise at the time when UConn was excelling. Combined with the rebranding to “UConn” only. It also came accompanied by students thinking the new logo symbolized assault and ended up all over the news with a statement from student government.

Why Is UConn's Mascot a Popular Rape Meme?

UConn decided as part of a visual identity revamping to change its Husky Dog logo from the current mascot to a more "powerful and aggressive" looking logo. This is a threatening image and it communicates the wrong message to men and women trying to live in a less violent society.

I'd rather have the primary logo on there
