AMDG Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Someone got a "guy phillips sucks" on the chat window though. That is important. I was happy to do so. Pssed me of that may called him the voice of the Billikens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbj14 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 http://www.slu.edu/fun/dots/I can't tell if this is a clever way to show the new logo, or just frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMDG Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I am glad to see Mizzou has decided to do a rebranding this week. I like their new logo. Absolutely hilarious. Stealing immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbj14 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Can't link to the header itself, but the picture on SLU Twitter of College Church and Gries in the background with the new logo looks pretty sharp. It obviously isn't the disaster that some of the athletic promotions have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMDG Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It was smart of them to unveil the new logo during a terrorist attack so it wasn't the worst thing happening at that moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMouthBilliken Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I like the new fonts, fleur de lis and I guess the new billiken is growing on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbj14 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'm interested to see also what the new mascot will look like. It seems it may be a bit harder to convert this graphic into a wearable head, but at the same time it could be very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Not that this is a scientific survey, but a search on Twitter for "Billiken" suggests that the new logo isn't well liked. I like the new university logo, font's good. Still in the "don't live it, but don't hate it either" crowd for the Billiken logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Apparently two-tone is all the rage in academic logo redesign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box and Won Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 That Maryville logo looks like a blatant rip off of Google's Gmail logo. Or the Mugatu building from Zoolander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majerus mojo Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 New University logo is pretty great Dark side of the Billiken should definitely be winking, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 New University logo is pretty great Dark side of the Billiken should definitely be winking, right? Maybe the Billiken is meant to bring balance to the force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonwich Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 As the official "Mikey" on the board, I have to say that I like it, at least the Billiken himself. I'm confused about the logotype -- was that weirdo retro cursive one for real? Are there multiple logotypes? And the U. logo is a very nice refresh. Did Gus pronounce "fleur de lis" correctly? (Aw, I have to give him a pass on that one. I'd bet that >90% of this board doesn't know how to pronounce "fleur de lis." ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Mother Goose and Grimm cartoonist, Mike Peters, (who I believe is a St. Louis native) was asked by Athletic Director Debbie Yow to re-create or modernize the Billiken. This was a great story, so I did some quick research. Thus far, I can find nothing to validate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM28 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I don't see any new merchandise on any of the online stores. The BN bookstore has some good looking shirts with the old logo and fonts though. And then there is this gem http://slu.bncollege.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Champion_Jersey_Tee/ProductDisplay?parentCatId=40360&imageId=45314&level=&graphicId=APC02715831001&categoryId=40360&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=19068&productId=400000011195&topCatId=40000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickdraw Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Clearly an effort to curry favor with more hoops stars from down under: the tuft of hair atop his head replaced with a tiny model of the Sydney Opera House! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
