I hope you don't do marketing for a living
I succeeded in making my point. While I'm not a "real Aggie" most of you aren't "real veterans", but I didn't throw that in to the conversation. While I love Texas A&M and Ol Sarge, all most of you can do is attack me personally. I think it's pretty evident that while my intent was positive, I get negative arrows slung my way. Have a good day. Hope you sleep well at night.
Other than the service academies, more folks from Aggieland go to the military than any other school.
Gig 'em!
My favorite Aggie shirt features ol sarge.
Ol' Sarge is great. Trying to minimize him is a preemptive strike against present-day overreactions.

CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
The bevel is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
The TAMU of old that bred Ol Sarge is no more. New times, new people, new branding.
It really is as simple as that I promise.

As with anything I don't like related to A&M and New Army, I think this is probably the fault of Vision 2020.

Didn't that experiment last for like one game?proc said:
Probably the worst idea for Ol Sarge ever. This "thing" was so gross, it was probably invented by a teasip to persuade Aggies to reject the proud military heritage of the U.S.torrid said:Didn't that experiment last for like one game?proc said:

I think Ol Sarge is a cool image to be used on merch and stuff, but I don't think its a great mascot or primary mark. It's complicated and detailed, and not really specific to A&M. Also, despite our admirable military ties, we aren't a military school.

OP's writing style is pretty similar to that alleged "beachbabe" who's been posting lately.
Good point. So given that, what do you think is a good primary mark for A&M?GarlandAg2012 said:

That's a good question and one I don't have a great answer to. I like the old AMC intertwined logo, but I get why the university wouldn't want to use AMC to represent AMU.LewP said:Good point. So given that, what do you think is a good primary mark for A&M?GarlandAg2012 said:

Other than that I think the non-beveled block aTm is pretty solid. With a mascot like "Aggies" I just don't think we're ever going to have a graphic that is as iconic as the longhorn. That's a pretty high bar though, it's maybe the most iconic logo in college sports.
That's pretty awesomepowerbelly said:

seems like that one might be difficult to put on hats & t shirts
I've never been a real big fan of this version of Ol' Sarge just because I don't think it's that great of a logo:
However, ever since I was a kid I've always thought THIS version of Ol' Sarge was just badass and I hate that we don't use it more.....even into the early 90's he was still pretty common.. To me it's the equivalent of the ND leprechaun...just a perfect logo for the school.
And to further make my point:

Looks like Ol Sarge left and enrolled in SFA

You had to fire up the DeLorean to find that logo. That looks right out of the 1970s. I think I saw that sticker in Loupot's bookstore in the early '90s, and it was yellowed with age. And it has a bevel. A modern version where the type was consistent wouldn't be bad, though.
I got a badass Ol' Sarge hitch cover
You sir, qualified as a badass. I like the ducks too.Ag 11 said:
