New UCONN logo.

[UconnFamily]

Haven't read thru this thread in a while so I hope nobody else posted this link: http://news.sportslogos.net/2013/03/14/uconn-logo-too-friendly-tougher-one-on-the-way/
If I were a bettin man something tells me we are going to see football helmets with a husky on it instead of the familiar block C or 'UConn' on the side. 9 days til it finally gets revealed.

According to the link above the logo will be similar to this

But with a much higher design and a little less aggressive... I like!

Yep... which I wouldn't mind... wish we could get some leaks of the re-design somewhere...

Almost always, in this internet/cell phone camera age, things are leaked before they are official. Im very surprised that we haven't seen anything, and were only about a week from the official release. Unusual.

You're right. That's what made all the suspense prior to the disclosure of the new Pope's identity so riveting. No one leaked it. And you can bet some enterprising journalist was trying to scoop the world.

Everyone pn the whole friggin planet knows us as UConn. I have never said I graduated from The University of Connecticut. And if you're asked and say Connecticut they ask what school in Connecticut.
Like the logo. But then I love the men's BB UNEYS, which this looks like.

Throw in Mississippi - they go by Ole Miss.

The definitely do, as a primary logo. And while Alabama doesn't seem to use "Bama" on merchandise, they sure as hell abbreviate "Crimson Tide" and use "Roll Tide" all the time. Hell, it's their damned website. Just like ours is UConnHuskies.com, not Connecticuthuskies.com.

They can't fudge up the dog logo, right?

Don't challenge them, please.

Informal and formal brands??? That's making things way too confusing. People will still call us connecticut but our brand is UCONN. Perhaps Alabama doesn't use Bama but how about CAL, UCLA, USC, UMASS, UNC, LSU, PITT, Penn, SMU, VCU, etc? All solid recognizable brands.

Actually, Federal Express did this with Fed Ex. It is one of the most successful brands on the planet. Do you say COKE or Coca-Cola? Rather than confusing people, using both Connecticut and UConn is just institutionalizing the way people already use the name.

Good examples.

Didn't they shorten them and make them more informal just like we are doing or do they still promote both with equal zeal? Not familiar enough with either brand strategy to know.

Not sure if this was discussed but showcasing the new logo during tonight's nation championship game would be smart

Totally boring logo.

Wheetabix and the missionary position love the new logo too.

I think they've got a careful plan to keep us in the news. A week or so ago the new "wordmark," championship game last night (not that that was a sure thing), ground breaking on the 16th, new logo on the 18th. I get the feeling that we are (finally) getting smarter about our self promotion.

Nike and Cal:

"Athletic director Sandy Barbour ushered in a new era for Cal athletics Wednesday as the university unveiled a new supplemental logo and visual identity in a press conference at the school.
All 27 athletic programs will feature new lettering and numerals on their uniforms, and most of the unis also will sport a new bear logo."

 

[pepband99]

Like it! Between OSU, Cal, and Georgia, I'm starting to get excited about how our new logo will look.

Our logo is going to look a lot like this just with a Husky instead of a Bear, I like it.

I'm warming up to this concept too... seems to be the fad in college sports rebranding nowadays... Looking fwd to April 18...

How come that bear is crying?

Banana Slug crawled up its butt. UCSC changed the slug logo too. It's a "buff" slug now.

The three Nike schools mentioned all have a primary and secondary logo (Georgia - power G + bulldog; California - Cal + Bear; Oregon State - OS + Beaver) - wonder if it will be the same for UConn - or is the UCONN wordmark the alternate logo?

 

[junglehusky]

I don't care for the new Cal bear logo. The bear is in aggressive mid-stride, that's OK, but since it's a two dimensional logo from straight on, and the head is hunched down, it doesn't translate the power and aggression. If they had done the logo from a 3/4 angle or from the side it might play off better.

No secondary besides the UCONN wordmark that was released last week.
