Are you down wIth the whole list or just our entry? Obviously the producer of this list hates single initials and loves mascot graphics.

For my tastes I am not too crazy about the gator logo and the washington state logo is hideous.

I don’t agree with all of them. BYU’s isn’t terrible.
Tbh, our logo might be the worst on the list. Just awful.

I know this is all opinion but if you think Walking Bully is an example of a good logo, I seriously question your taste.
Walking Bully is an excellent logo. I’m not saying it should be our primary, but it should replace that s h i t generic bulldog logo created during the Byrne/Strickland era

I don't disagree, I've never liked the banner, or Stricklin for forcing it down our throats because some marketing student told him it was fresh and contemporary
Actually, if I remember correctly Richard Williams was the one that came up with the Banner M. It took us a while to make it the primary logo though. I don't mind it at all. THE best one was the old script interlocking MSU.

Walking Bully is not that great. It’s dated.
Walking bully has it's place. I've got a sticker on my cowbell. I could see wearing a walking bully tshirt or cap that I wear to work around the house. But it's not something you'd want on a gameday polo or uniforms

We have better looks. Script state, m over s, walking bully, interlocking ms are all examples of better looke
That doesn’t actually answer my original question, though. What is it about our current logo that’s “bad?”

The fact that this argument breaks out once a week and at least half of this board despises the banner M is all you need to know. I’ve never heard an Ole Miss fan say the hate the script ole miss, a Bama fan say they hate the script A, and Auburn fan say they hate the A over U, etc. If half your fan base hates your logo, it’s time to maker a change.

Walking Bully is a freaking abomination. There’s no way you can be serious about that. It’s not even a good “throw back” Bulldog logo. I could post 4-5 older Bully logos that blow that 80’s monstrosity out of the water. It’s either misplaced nostalgia or a case of just plain old bad taste.
Have you ever had Portuguese Chicken?

That’s a really good point. I never thought of it that way. The problem is the administration is 100% invested in using the banner M as the university-wide logo. That’s a lot of signage, letterhead, graphics, etc that will have to be replaced if we move to a new logo.

For the record, I like the Banner M, but I’m not married to it. It was a light year improvement over the early 2000s logo.

The Cleftate is so incredibly stupid.

State is such a generic term. Dr Pepper uses "State" for a fictional university.

Michigan State has used a very similar logo since the 1970s.

A cursive word for a logo.... what imagination.*

Look y'all are getting played to buy more shirts and hats. I ain't buying that stupid *** Cleftate.

Marketing student? You do know the administration hired a well known marketing firm to rebrand the entire university, right?

You are 100% correct. We need better fans!

A lot of hate for the walking bully. I think it’s a great secondary logo when a bulldog/mascot is needed. Certainly not saying it should be the primary logo.

So what happens if we make a change and half the people on this board hate whatever logo we change to?
