    Higher education logo redesign gone bad

    Waterloo

    According to the guidelines, all three justifications are acceptable. The equivalent of a 5:00 am curfew for a wild teenager.

    Most have come to know that I am a fan of Gotham and its extensive use, but when it’s deployed with such lack of passion and conviction and in such a lackluster manner, I can’t help but be annoyed by it and what it represents in this specific case: The total dilution of a graphic proposal by a whiny audience that thinks it knows better. How you like ‘em apples now, Waterloo?

    Nice post over on Brand New of how not to redesign a higher ed logo. Using a great font does not automatically make a compelling logo.

    Post-Obama campaign Gotham is really getting over-used.
