One of my favorite design sites is called Brand New. They review new branding from companies and let the community throw in their two cents.

When UCF did a press release on the new logos I submitted the link over to Brand New and sure enough they did a review on the new look and feel.

I'm excited to see the reaction from the community to the new logo and a little exposure to the university.

Although note to self, next time give my blog URL to them ;)

Go Knights!

And I'm back! I didn't feel a need to blog as I was able to outsource it to Alex and Mike (here, here, here and here). But I felt a come back was needed -- Hell even Lindsey has a blog now!

Although this post won't be about my life or work (which are all going great, thanks for asking) instead it will be about UCF.

...oh ok maybe just one quick link to threadless cakes.

Back to UCF! I went to the Black and Gold game with Alex and Celly on Saturday and have been super excited to see the new logo after hearing back in Feb that we were dropping the "Golden" from our name...

...Until I saw Alex's blog post.

Wow, that logo is just horrible. Just not a very iconic image. I was expecting better.

Then I was pointed over to a few color renderings of the logo that were posted on a public message board and I went from hating to being undecided. I'm not going to lie to you...the knights head is pretty neat and for sure a step up from our current logo. Even if it does seem to be Rutgers Cousin. ;).

Any way, let me know what you think about them by commenting below.
