Thanks

The Big Ten rebrand that Michael Beirut did is fairly interesting, I think. (It's not exactly university, but it's in the ballpark.)
Here in Ann Arbor, UofM is putting the big block M on absolutely everything in the world you can possibly imagine. But, that isn't really a re-brand, since they've had this for years:
They used to use this seal, which I think had a bit more dignity.
Plus they've made the athletic uniforms a heinous neon yellow, when they used to be kind of maise:
Now when you watch games on TV, it seems like your set is fucked up.
I think, basically, that Universities stay away from the re-brands, because all their alums (potential donors) are so tied to the old identity.

- Many Universities have a seal, in addition to a logo. The seal is for official documents and diplomas.DRIFTMONKEY
- Here's a surprise, there's another rebrand coming. A lot of us in the university that have seen it hate it.Jacque
- Imagine the whole university in a cookie cutter brand system. No personality, SHITTY typography. Dead serious.Jacque

^ the directors of UC unfortunately killed that rebrand because of backlash from the alum.

This was a Nike Design Lab redesign that the UCONN adopted. Usually Nike redesigns are contained within the athletics department.
