Instead of replacing everything, the new logo is used only for advertising materials, while the old logo remains on the diplomas.
p.s the new logo looked horrible once it was introduced, but a year later most people don't mind it; though it left a really bad impression on the student body as the university decided to pretty much ignore the popular opinion

- carbocation 14y agoI don't know; the Waterloo logo looks like something that might quickly become dated, and lacks the elegance of a classic logo, but certainly captures an element of a modern electronica influence. In contrast, the UC system's logo actually has some thoughtful elements (the book leaves forming the 'U') that are executed inartfully. Or, to mince fewer words: Waterloo's new logo looks less ugly to me, circa 2012, than does UC's.
