Reading TexAgs over the years it's obviously unpopular. I know that you can't solely rely on the Internet when trying to figure out a consensus on something, but man it sure seems like nobody likes it.

Why has the A&M Brass never read the tea leaves here and gone away from it? Seems like low hanging fruit to make fans happy.

Does anyone here like the bevel?

Because no one outside of this echo chamber cares.

And many of us here don't.

If you can make sense of how, when and why Texas A&M and also the athletic department do half of the things they do, you'd be a very very wise and rich man.

Plenty of folks not on here think it's a crappy logo. They're just not internet chat room kinda folks.

It was recently added to the university seal. It would cost too much money to re-design the seal and replace it across the state. It is here to stay.

We are not good at marketing or branding as university. in the 2000s we had six different logos. Now we have a beveled logo on everything except our football helmet which is the most recognizable branding tool in our toolbox. The bevel would have been fine for a secondary or tertiary logo, like the T-star, or Ol Sarge but to make it the primary logo while leaving our helmet logo the unchanged is unstable and shows a lack of forethought. One day we will have professionals running our program, until then its local yokels who are nepo hires.

There's been some progress, our commercials this year have actually been good.

One day the helmet logo will be beveled and it's just a matter of time. The texags meltdown will surpass anything we've seen.

I hope my phone is charged that day

That'd be an order of magnitude higher than the Stoops meltdown and we did manage to stop him

Texags has right around 17,000 posters. Basing your thoughts or the University's thoughts on Texags opinion is not a sound decision.

My estimation of 17,000 is based off of a recent former player attempting to sell tickets to the tu game. He posted it and it was his first post ever. His post had one star and he was ranked 16,7?? at the time. There may be more readers that do not share the same opinions.

The traditional marking of the onset of TexAgs offseason - a discussion of the bevel.
"So long as an opinion is strongly rooted in the feelings, it gains rather than loses in stability by having a preponderating weight of argument against it."

The bevel became the standard logo of Texas A&M in 1999. We haven't won an outright championship in football since 1998, Coincidence? I think not. Even if this isn't true, I will believe it to be true no matter what facts are presented to me that make it untrue.

We are supposed to be a world class engineering school with a very respected architecture school as well, and we have a geometrically incorrect logo. Its maddening.

If we gotta bevel, at least get it right. They missed some spots and it looks dumb.

All I know is I have sweatshirt and jacket from him that have beveled logos on it, plus decals/bumper stickers with bevel. So official or not, there was a ton of them way before 1999. At any rate, I agree we haven't won anything football wise for however the official/unofficial bevel has been around.

I don't think the bevel you're talking about is the bevel in question.

You probably mean this:


The rest of us are talking about this:

Potato/potato, a bevel is a bevel.
I'm sure if it ever goes away we immediately win an NC, cancer, hunger and homelessness will all go away too.

It is kind of wild that the branding at A&M has remained this poor for this long. That's hard to do with this many alumni and this much money. I can't really think of another example.

Not really.

This is TexAg's own version of Reddit that thinks the majority of the US is left leaning, the election didn't represent the will of the nation, and republican Nazis are going to use Guantanamo Bay to start concentration camps.

Almost same level of delusion. Just like F16 thinks they're politics are mainstream and not alt / far right.

If the helmet logo changes, this should be the only other option in consideration.
