Unofficial B10 Logo Thread

in Brian's thread on this very topic?

You've actually made it worse. How is that academic? Are we going for the newspaper logo look? I don't mean to be rude, but...

sorry guy, this isnt good.

Sarcasm, right?

U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi.

You ugly, yeah yeah, you ugly. WOOOO!

I am not digging the Ten being indented so much and totally off center. Good try though.

'A' for effort.... and that's about it.

That being said, I appreciate your enthusiasm.

BTW. Are you high?

You tried and it's better than what I would have done.

I'm going to assume you're stoned and tell you this is absolutely wonderful with the explanation.

No offense, but I think this is worse than the real one, which is pretty bad.

The Big Ten Barber Shop?

Maybe the guys who came up with this one should get a shot at it.....

Alright, back to the drawi...you know what nvm. back to watching TV.

it offends all of us.

Haha he's definitely kidding. I enjoyed the blunt representation of MSU's inferiority complex, though.

this one pretty much sucks...

So it kind of ended up as more of a seal then a logo, but here's my entry. This was done in about an hour in Microsoft Publisher and touched up in MS paint.

No offense but I think the OP found a worse logo than the one Delaney gave us.

Edit:  This was intended for the first design not the one directly above me, which I think is kind of cool.

Hows about something like:

This is the ugliest thing I have ever seen

Had to throw my hat in the ring. Couldn't help myself.

Imagine you come home someday, and as fate would have it, there is an enormous amount of water spewing from beneath your kitchen sink.  Now, let's also assume/imagine that you, yourself, have no knowledge of plumbing.  It's clear that this is a problem that needs a professional solution, so what do you do?

HAVE A CONTEST!!!
"Hey everyone, I'm holding a contest to see who can do the best plumbing on my kitchen sink!  The winner will get a free turkey sandwich and the rights to wash his hands in my kitchen sink for an entire year!! And I'll tell everyone that you did the work for about three months!"

Right?  No, of course not.

You wouldn't hold a contest to fix the sanctity and safety of your home, and you wouldn't open it up to the public for their best solution.  YOU CALL A PROFESSIONAL PLUMBER and you pay him for his services, because it's a job worth doing right the first time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHY???
So often (and especially over the last decade when everyone became something called a 'desktop publisher') suddenly  branding, or graphic design as a whole, is taken for granted.  DESIGNERS ARE PROFESSIONALS who know their business, and yet so clients feel it is permissible to simply open things to the public for a quick (re: cheap) fix.  And then five or six months later they're going crazy trying to retrofit the work into usable applications, or even pay a professional to fix it.

So personally, I'm not a fan of the 'logo contest,' and I think it only helps to water down the aesthetic quality of the business world around us.  If you don't like what a professional designer did, that's another argument, but this thread reinforces the concept that it isn't as easy as it looks and maybe, just maybe, it's worth being taken seriously both as a service and as an occupation.
