George Mason is now the worst logo national champion!

Makes our rebrand look world class. This is just incredibly generic.

George Mason University completes long-term rebrand with new logo

George Mason University unveiled a completely redesigned logo as the capstone of its three-year-long comprehensive rebrand. The new look, which will include a single logo for the university and its athletics program, asserts George Mason’s emerging identity as a national top 50 public university...

I don't particularly care for our new logo (seriously just use the baseball spiraled I/S for basketball too) but this is awful.

When I see "GM" I think of GM the appliance company, not George Mason.

It took them 3 years to get to this, too. THREE YEARS!

All they ever needed, IMHO. I'd rank the original "Sycamores" logo pretty high, too. But, I'd rank the current logo, which I'm not in love with well above the baseball "IS"...never a fan of that one at all. YMMV.

On a "semi" related note, I was reading a Q&A in an online magazine about the Indy Car mascot, Firestone's "Firehawk". A dude had previously decried how "stupid" it was and unnecessary. Another dude wrote in and mentioned that his youngster was fascinated by the Firehawk, and when he got the chance to meet the Firehawk, now the kid is obsessed with Indy Cars. That is who Sycamore Sam is for...my grandson saw him while I was watching a game this year and immediately became interested in the Sycamores. "Is there a game today"?...."can we go to a game"?...."Are we winning the game"?...every time he came over he wanted to know if the Sycamores were on...started with that blue, furry whatchamawhoozit.

Best logo in our arsenal. Not sure why they don't substitute the red with royal blue. Or make the state Royal Blue and the "S" outlined in powder blue. I think that would look pretty darn sharp.

But you are right the baseball interlocking "IS" is dreadful

The interlocked I/S for baseball is quite possibly one of the WORST logos in the history of Indiana State, hell, the ~1982 era sycamore leaf used by the academic side for so many purposes looks better than the palsy-derived I/S.

This is the ultimate proof that our new logo sucks. It was so bad that everyone started looking for an older logo that actually looked good. The S logo is definitely the best ISU logo and I'm glad it has made a huge comeback. It might even be the most commonly worn logo at our basketball games now.
