OSU Unveils New Athletic Logo In Light of Yesterday's Proceedings

Submitted by Six Zero on

COLUMBUS, OH-- The Ohio State University have chosen to embrace this latest chapter in their rich history of deflecting the guilt of wrongdoing, and have elected to carry this over into the school's primary athletic marks.  Sources within the Athletic Department feel that the time is right to wear this reputation with pride both on the field and off, and are confident that if this is in fact the wrong decision, they will still be able to avoid taking any blame with some carefully worded legal prose.

And so, without further ado, The Ohio State University proudly unveils its new branding identity:

GO SLAPPERS!

There is further talk of retiring the 'Brutus the Buckeye' mascot identity in favor of a feeble Catholic school nun who carries a soft, padded ruler, but no official timeline has been released at this time.  GO SLAPPERS!

“I’m disappointed this happened at all.  I take responsibility for what we do at Six Zero Branding tremendously seriously. Obviously I plan to grow from this. I’m sincerely saddened by the fact that I let some people down and that I didn’t do some things as well as I could possibly do.”

Hey, this sounds familiar...

Don't you know that, in this day and age, it's all about the non-apology?  At least you dropped a "tremendously" in there!  Minor tweaks, and yet it places the blame for your mistakes back on the audience.  Brilliant, no?  

“I’m disappointed at the outcome. I take responsibility for what we do at Six Zero Branding tremendously seriously. Obviously I plan to grow from this. I’m sincerely saddened by the fact that some people felt let down by my work and felt I didn't do things as well as I could have.  I will continue to set high standards for myself and hope people receive it better next time.”

Can someone help me out I have an awesome (at least I think it is) logo that I made about a month ago. I have no idea how to post this. It is on my facebook page and the only Internet access I have is on my iPhone. I will be forever thankful.

Whoa whoa whoa.  My parents both went to Catholic schools and they will tell you that the nuns will smack the everloving shit out of you with that ruler.  Or yardstick.  Ohio State has nothing on the nuns.  If nuns were in charge of this Tressel would be suspended fifty games and he'd have shown up to the press conference with inch-marks on his cheek.

SixZero,  great work as always.  However, shouldn't the new "Wristslappers - O" logo be designed in tattoo ink and placed on the left shoulder of Ohio men, and on the small of the back of Ohio women? 

 

(And yes, I realize there is no such thing as the "small" of the back of on an Ohio woman)

Wouldn't they be the wristslappees?  Since they're receiving the wristslapping?  Wouldn't really have the same ring to it though I guess.

Whatever, great work either way.
