I like the new block M,Thundering Herd and Marshall Logos. But I really don't care for the Hanna-Barbara buffalo. He looks like something you would see with Scooby Doo.

I was concerned over the new color scheme, but now after seeing the new logos, I think they are sharp. The new Marco looks cool.

I think the new logos are entirely appropriate. I had held my breath, because we all know how these things go, but I can see that a competent and thorough job was done. It is readily apparent -- as you know, form follows function, especially in graphic design -- that the new Marco is done to simplify both screen printing and embroidery processes. The art is high-constrast and lends itself to production of all sorts of items. There are only so many ways to render a buffalo to begin with, and thank goodness that the old logo with Marco is put to rest. It was obviously a vernacular piece of design work and I always thought that Marco looked like a drunken sailor on shore leave. Now, let's hope that Coach Bobby had enough pull to keep that "M" on the helmets without the Marco... otherwise, it might look like a brown blob from a distance (especially on TV).

I wasn't sure at first if I liked the logo, but it has definitely grown on me. I think that there should be one color of green that unites us, and if it's this green so be it. The only problem for me is I mesh with everything at Michigan State. Maybe one day I'll move back to to my ole' West Virginia home. GO HERD beat the GATORS!

Well this is more of a question than my opinion, but I'll give it too! I really was just wondering how everyone feels about the NEW logo and the fact that their changing our GReeN! I think that the new logo is growing on me, but the whole color thing is really starting to bother me. Everything around campus is the old green. So I guess the school is just going to start a whole transformation. But I'm cool with that I just hope everyone sticks to the same color, unlike now.
