The logo isn't too bad—I'd even say its greatest sin is that it is unremarkable, rather than badly designed. Weird gradients here and there ends up looking like a web design company trying to get out of Web 2.0 era, but in general, the application, extensions, brand guidelines and else are actually very well done: it might be even more important than the actual logo in that such a sprawling organization like University of California requires incessant variation and alternative uses above all else. Waterloo logo was a disaster, GAP's, also one, but this might have been blown way out of proportion.
