Griz logo

[TomCat88]

UM should consider a new logo. I was just watching ESPN and then ran a little news and notes segment that included UM not going to the WAC. It was just a shot of three school logos with UM's grizzly-walking-toward-you logo. I mean unless you know the school and logo you can't really tell what that is and, frankly, it looks like something not very savory.

Umm..you can't determine what this is?

Yep, looks like a turd to me.

Hmm...seen from space, you be the judge.

Don't be such a Poop. Like I said, I can since I know the school, but when they show it in the background it does resemble a pile of poop and my guess is a lot of people who saw it today probably thought that, too. Just sayin'

That really does look like a steaming pile.

Which brings me to my next point cat fans. . .flush twice, its a long way to Missoula!

Seriously though it probably is hard to come up with a logo of a bear and not have it look too cartoony. I have no good suggestions.

[GrizinWashington]

Okay, the one from space looks like a pile of crap. That I'll grant ya. But Tom, do you really think the actual logo looks "cartoony"? And not to make this a Cat vs. Griz thing, but you've gotta admit that the Griz logo looks a hell of a lot more like a real grizzly bear than the Cat logo looks like a Bobcat, no?

i actually LOVE the old "cartoony" copper 'n gold fightin' grizzly bear. go back to that one with the "new" color scheme.

ps..the bobcat logo kicks ass!!!

The lumbering grizzly could be more fearsome. Look at all the grizzly logos here: http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&rlz= ... =&gs_rfai=" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Aside from a few that look like a yawning bear, UM's is by far the tamest-looking. Is that Gentle Ben coming my way?

Too bad UM didn't get to the artist that designed Missouri State's logo first. It's even the right colors:


Although the bobcat head lacks depth, it's really growing on me.

It's reminiscent of UNI's panther head logo

and a flat, one- or -two-color logo can be classic

I'll I can say to that "grizzly" is

Montana's logo looks like a...well like a grizzly.

No, no, no, that's not what I'm saying.
The current logo, when you see it up close, does look like a grizzly and when you see it from a distance you can tell it's a grizzly. I wasn't saying that the existing logo is cartoony/cartoonish (do you have this logo on your car doors, you're being awfully defensive ).
I was saying making any kind of bear logo that looks distinctly like a bear will probably come out very cartoon looking. Kind of like the old Griz logo. The one posted by Not a cat still resembles a pile of poop, which is my point, it's probably difficult to come up with a cool griz/bear logo. Maybe a silhouette style of an entire bear or just the head in a side profile might work .

Now that is funny!

Certainly has a remarkable similarity to the 10-Couric deucer I took this morning.
