I guess the new signature is not working...

while I'm here: I support Old Main and hope the bevel is removed from all things Aggie.

That ad looks like it was made by someone who has no business having any input in graphic design decisions.

That ad is awful. Shows how savvy Old Main is when it comes to branding and PR.

The above comments are what I have come to expect from the Bevel Huggers.


Of course, this...

... is definitely much better than this

^ not even an official logo. Nice hedge

Have you contacted yahoo/rivals about that logo? That's obviously the one you have a problem with as you always point to it. Maybe that would be more constructive.

The Rivals logo is a prime example of how the beveled logo doesn't often represent Texas A&M well. Marketing and Branding at Texas A&M needs to contact Rivals. Texas A&M licenses and controls the use of the school's logos.

That figure is accurate. I didn't read the maroon weekly nor the email that sent it to me.


The 12,000 isn't accurate. They've been hovering around 8,000 for awhile now. Maybe there were 12,000 accepted, but not that many will enroll. Even with the 25 by 25 engineering initiative there would only be 9000 tops.


I read an article in the eagle that said more freshman accepted (9700) than were expected (8700) based on their statistical data.


That's what I was saying. My first year at A&M they accepted roughly 14,000 and after the 20th day of class about 8,000 of us were still enrolled after 8,200 had accepted the offer to come to A&M. Accepted =/= the actual number of enrollees. People, believe it or not, choose other schools over A&M, even if they get in.

Well how many of them looked at an uninteresting bland advertisement in a throw away packet and were moved to ACT?

Why does Old Main keep linking the rivals logo created when they hired someone who knew photoshop in 2003 to add crazy lines over the logo of every school and haven't bothered to change as if that means something about Texas A&M's graphics in 2013. Perhaps you should start a crusade for Texas A&M to revoke rivals ability to display A&M trademarks. That would be effective and good for the school...

nothing

Old Main has just carried this crap on for so long that he has to keep it up to make it look like a joke thread so people don't assume he is an insane person living in a basement.

I'm done bashing Old Main. He's passionate about what he believes and even pays for it to show up in random places like a bulletin board at a business or MaroonBook. He may not be going anywhere with it but damn it he's persistent. I don't agree with any of what he's said, but a passionate Aggie is a good Aggie. You're ok, Old Main, you're ok.

Retailers and student organizations are starting to realize that most Aggies prefer the classic block aTm logo over the Bevel...

Despite the obvious ridiculousness of claiming to know what most people want, I'm sure you will be out front to take credit for this.

I support your quest to end the bevel, but someone who is obsessing over a detail like the bevel should really pay more attention to the difference between an apostrophe and a single quote.

So lets get an update! Has the bevel been killed or what?

Athlon ranks A&M's logo #4 in the SEC.

quote:
"Someone from A&M needs to call Texas Tech and explain how effective beveling is done. Like Vandy, Texas A&M's logo is simple and therefore works as a potent branding mark."
