When you’re one of the oldest universities in the world though, I think sticking with the old logo conveys a subtle gravitas and confidence in your legacy, much more than constant rebranding that says “look at me”.
- pvg 4y agoI'm not sure it's obvious it conveys anything beside 'looks like everyone else'. It's like the GP comment complaining about 'modernist, minimalist crap, indistinguishable from all the other modernist, minimalist crap' never ran across one of the most recognizable university press marks out there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Press#/media/File:MIT_Press_logo_(black).svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Press#/media/File:MIT_Pres...
- porknubbins 4y agoYes I don’t think there is anything obvious here, de gustibus non disputatum after all. I am a big fan of modernism even minimalism done well. MIT is an engineering school and its logo fits. I just object to lazy or default minimalism.
