Its so Tennessee-ish..

I would just like to see a football team worthy of the logo.

Why don't you all just do away with the A&M part in your name. That seems to be what you all want. Just be Texas University Aggies.

very clever sip. -_-

Really should do an outline of the state on the helmets

I would not be opposed to having this on the helmets.

OP, could you render up something with a huge block aTm and put the outline/silhouette of Texas behind it? Basically just swap the two and see how that looks

Bearded bear got it right. The block serif on the A and the center portion of the M have to be the same width and centered on the slab serif of the T. Otherwise it's not the A&M logo.

I VERY much admire the Ags for keeping the simple aTm logo on the helmets...most schools feel a need to delve into design and ornamentation on their logos as though looking aesthetically pleasing is an attribute we should seek for our football uniforms.

Simple is better and tells me all I need to know about what a school and team stand for...(or used too..)

IMO, our helmets and Nebraska's helmets are the finest around...all business, no flare..

As stated in a post above, I just wish we could get a football team together that could earn that straightforward, hard-nosed logo...

I miss the 'Fightin' Aggies' stuff.

I hope they never put the stupid bevel T aTm logo on the helmet. They seem to be really pushing the bevel T logo despite the fact that a lot of Aggies don't like it.

OK, here's an assignment for all you folks that can produce these logos through photoshop or whatever... 'cuz I can't do it.

I'm not a fan of the T-Star as a primary logo... but I do think it has use as a secondary logo. Here's what I want you to come up with...

Incorporate the T-Star with the words "Texas Aggies". I think that would look damn sharp, and would build ID for the T-Star as an A&M brand.... as it is now, it could stand for anything.

Can anybody make this idea a graphic reality?

Something looks funny with the outline of Texas.
Sticker wise, it's too scale and we don't need to have all the bay insets/ports on the main sticker/logo
Keep it simple - the outline anyways.
Like so..

I love about every logo that Old Main has put up in this thread and would immediately start buying A&M merchandise again if items with those logos were widely available.

I will not buy anything with that ugly offset disorienting so-called beveled “T” in the middle of what was once an outstanding logo.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why A&M has pushed something so horrible looking and done away with its outstanding strong classic logos. The classic block aTm was strong and bold, Sarge and the Gig’em Thumb were fun and unique. The offset so-called beveled “T” aTm is weak and hard to look at.

Coke did away with “New Coke” went back to classic Coke and had huge success. Please A&M, I beg you to do the same. BTW, I’m not an old Ag or a Corps guy.

TexCalTex,

I couldn't agree with you more. The funny thing is that the bevel logo represents a time period in Aggie Football (the last 12 years or so) that a lot of us would like to forget.

If you check out this thread you will see that a lot of Aggies agree with you on their disdain for the bevel.

I'm one of those that fully agree...bevel T is not cool. Like I said above....my favorite NCAA helmets are ours and Nebraska's...
Nothing fancy about them...

For those who like the bevel T and the other nonsense out there....
you want brand recognition? why not win a few championships with our old logo and let everyone know we are THE texas team...

unless you just want people to say, "check out that bevel T....I now recognize that team and associate their poor performance with their new, ultra-kickass logo!"

I agree - I love that red, white and blue log of the State of Texas. However, I suggest putting it at the center of the V in the collar of the jersey. Put a little shield around it, such as the have in the NFL. Beneath it, in the same font as the NFL Texans use, it should read "Texas Aggies." Keep the helmets the same -- I love the simplicity and its very traditional.

No, NO, NO, NO, NO! The logo does not need to be changed.

Yes it does. We need to remove the bevel.

No bevel.

no bevel

When you guys are looking at a "new logo" please also keep in mind that it is going to have to be reproduced, and reproduced in any number of sizes.

Intricate logos will not reproduce well in small scale, compared to something like the the block aTm. Even the small beveling can be reproduced easily.

Take the AMC logo for example. Can you imagine a machine stitching that the size of a polo man on a pullover? And that's not even considering how it would look squnched down that much.

Just because it would make a decent t-shirt doesn't mean it's a viable logo for all purposes. That also goes for the Texas outline for the most part.

The classic aTm logo (the one on our helmets) looks better reduced to a small size than the bevel T aTm logo. As far as logos go simple is almost always better. I've seen some small bevel T logos on merchandise at Academy and Walmart and it looks like crap.

The small logo below looks fine in my opinion because the state of Texas silhouette is so recognizable.



Again, these ideas are proposed as secondary logos. I think the primary logo should be the classic aTm on our helmet. Right now our primary logo is the bevel T aTm logo.

The perfect state outline logo, bravo.

i like the helmet logo as is and dont think we should change it.

This, however, is awesome.

Tarleton State already has it.

Silly Old Main, you really think people will listen to you and put a block T-AM with the state of Texas silhouette on out helmet???

Give it a rest, your ideas are old and stale.

I wonder if OM loved our #snowbowl helmets or had a conniption because they were black.

Scotch,

You shouldn't have bumped this. Now the Bevel Huggers will accuse me of taking credit for the aTm - State of Texas logo just like they say I take credit for restoring Military Walk and taking aTm to the SEC. Of course I've never taken credit for any of these things, but the lies persist.

Then stop saying you had the ideas for it. Plus, the athletic department uses a different logo than what you posted, even aside from the bevel. The ATM takes up most of the state and the top of the T is even with the Red River. It would also be good to not call us "bevel huggers" and then ask people to not make personal attacks against you and your "ideas".

Old Main sucks ass.

Brick, Old Main never took credit for the idea to use the state outline logo, but it is curious that there was a brain storming session for variations of the logo then not too long afterwards a professional version(obviously not exactly the same) shows up on our uniforms...
