Davidson Wildcat Rebrand
Davidson rolled out a new logo.
I hope our athletic department never does something as bad as this for a rebrand
(I know the university made some not so good changes this summer)

Re: Davidson Wildcat Rebrand
Why would ever use a Wildcat for a rebrand? It’s not even our colors.

This looks like a Highschool mascot from 1992

Re: Davidson Wildcat Rebrand
I liked the old one more, just because it was more uniquely theirs.
People need to stop hiring “expert design firms” that make generic logos.

Re: Davidson Wildcat Rebrand
it's not particularly bad, but it's not particularly good either. Kind of like the university's new Taco Bell logo.

It's a mix of Western and Ga State

Re: Davidson Wildcat Rebrand
Ad agencies and design firms are sometimes too quick to tout periodic re-branding, especially in situations where tradition and history are important such as with a university.

Re: Davidson Wildcat Rebrand
Ad agencies are quick to help you with new branding as they see dollar signs.
Many are great...but, like any industry, some not so much.

Re: Davidson Wildcat Rebrand
What happens is somebody new decides they want to make a change to say they are doing something, so they hire a firm or somebody to create something new/different. Just to say they did something. May be better, same or worse than previous but they now say this did something. Many times it is a waste of money.
Hey, it's different!

Re: Davidson Wildcat Rebrand
Not sure what's worse:
- This logo looking like generic clip art in PowerPoint? OR...
- Davidson paying some consulting firm a pile of money to come up with it?
